Aluminium frames have come a long way in recent years. They’re now available in a vast range of colours and styles, making them a popular choice for homeowners.

The following are just some of the benefits that the latest aluminium windows have to offer.

1) Durable and long-lasting

Aluminium windows are incredibly resilient and last for years. In fact, they can last as long at 30 years. The reason for this is that aluminium is more resistant to the elements than other materials.

Aluminium frames have corrosion-resistant qualities that protect against weathering, meaning they don’t split, crack, or warp over time. Plus, aluminium also has a high strength-to-weight ratio, which means it doesn’t dent easily.

2) Easy to maintain

Aluminium windows require very little maintenance. They come in a range of different finishes, and most will just need a wipe over every 2-4 months to remove any dirt.

Unlike timber, aluminium frames don’t need to be painted or stained to retain their weatherproof qualities. The frames won’t rust, corrode, rot, peel or flake.

3) Highly secure

Aluminium is strong as well as durable. It offers a high level of protection as it can’t easily be damaged.

Many older properties have steel-framed windows, which offer strength but don’t provide the benefits of aluminium. Replacing steel frames with aluminium frames allows you to retain the resilience of metal, but without compromising on style or thermal insulation.

4) Energy efficient

Today’s aluminium window frames come with a thermal break that reduces or prevents thermal energy flowing from one conductive material to another. And with the introduction of polyamide technology, aluminium glazing now performs to a much higher level.

Heat loss and heat gain through aluminium windows are prevented. As a result, you can turn your heating down and lower your energy bills.

5) Environmentally friendly

As well as helping to regulate the temperature in your home, aluminium is also a sustainable material that can be recycled.

Aluminium is 100% recyclable. It leaves a small carbon footprint – and has the added bonus of being non-toxic.

6) Minimal framework and flexible design

Because it’s such a strong material, aluminium can support extremely large panes of glass. Therefore, aluminium windows require less frame work around the edges of the glazing.

With aluminium frames, the glass area is maximised. You can install large windows and doors without having to incorporate bulky, unsightly framework. The result is a sleek, slim window that lets as much light as possible into your home - and enables you to enjoy the view from the window fully.

Aluminium is also highly flexible and can be shaped and customised according to your preferences. Aluminium frames are a favourite of architects who want to make a bold statement with window design.
