As a dedicated aluminium fabricator to the trade, it shouldn’t come as too much of a shock to learn that we’re firm believers that aluminium is far and out the installer’s material of choice. Giving reliable tradesmen the ability to offer features and benefits modern homeowners typically expect and more, here is our top 10 benefits of aluminium windows.
1. Sleek and contemporary aesthetic style
What’s always guaranteed when opting to install aluminium windows, is the undeniably attractive aesthetics they evoke, made possible due to clean lines and minimalist frames. Such features make aluminium windows a perfect choice for contemporary properties and high-rise builds, though their sleek style can also be tailored to treat period homes.
2. Long-lasting powder-coated finishes
Compared to the typical foils required to colour uPVC window frames, the heating process of powder-coating is much more effective and reliable. This is a colouring process exclusively available to aluminium windows, and renders any of the 150 colour tones featured in our range vivid and rich to help installers cater for an array of client tastes.
3. Inherently strong but lightweight
By its very nature, aluminium has a very high strength-to-weight ratio. This means that there’s less aluminium needed to withstand large amounts of glazing in comparison to alternative window materials. Contemporary style is successfully maintained, with less bulky frames and more generous glass surface areas.
4. High insulation levels
Aluminium windows have garnered a well-earned reputation for providing high levels of thermal retention, meaning that less energy is required to heat the home. This is most often due to aluminium windows’ ability to integrate some subtle design elements such as a polyamide break and multi-chambered internal frames that help make all the difference.
5. Suitable for residential and commercial applications
Choosing to install aluminium windows means opening your services up to customers from not just the domestic sector, but the commercial one too. Aluminium is the preferred material for use in high-rise apartments, new property developments, and retail structures due to their minimalist frames and sheer versatility.
6. Exceeds British energy standards
Aluminium windows engineered by the Evaframe team remove some of the usual stresses that plague installers on site, with U-values as low as 0.71 W/M2k readily achievable. Such energy efficiency comfortably sits under the requirement set in place by UK government standards, also letting your customers reduce their property’s energy consumption and save money on bills.
7. Highly recyclable
Aluminium is one of the easiest metals to recycle, making it the more appropriate choice for anyone looking to be more environmentally-friendly and reduce their carbon footprint. Only an impressive 5% of the energy required to manufacture your average aluminium window is needed to recycle it, which combines with the product’s natural energy-saving qualities to make for a greener material option.
8. Resistant to corrosion
While high water and air resistance is a standard benefit with most aluminium windows and doors, additional corrosion resistant qualities make them incredibly low maintenance with a long lifespan. Unlike other materials, swelling, cracking, and rotting is simply not possible.
9. Configurable to multiple styles
Tilt & turn, overswing, and casement, aluminium windows can be configured to almost any conceivable shape or size. Regardless of style, all still excel in offering the many benefits discussed above, with exceptional strength, aesthetics, and energy performance. With aluminium, installers have the flexibility to meet every project demand and customer preference.
10. Clean and slim sightlines for better light entry
A nice side-effect to the naturally slim sightlines aluminium windows consistently deliver, is their ability to illuminate spaces that would otherwise be deemed shadowy and dilapidated. Particularly useful for commercial applications as well as domestic ones, assuring customers can easily see into a retail space is of great value, and a factor that aluminium is perfectly primed for.
