Aluminum glazing and constructions
Aluminum profiles are designed similarly to metal-plastic ones. Very often they represent a hollow bar made of extruded aluminum alloy. These profiles can feature a wide variety of void spaces. Depending on the quantity of these chambers and how thick inner partitions are aluminum windows have a wide range of the thermal insulation and durability. Aluminum profile structures are very firm which enables to make a narrower and elegant frame.
Due to the high thermal conductivity of aluminum alloys it is not reasonable to use them in high-ambient temperature climates. In order to prevent thermal loss, warm profiles are fitted with a thermal break. Polyamide elements are inserted between the aluminum profiles. There are 3 layers in this type of frame. External layers are aluminum, internal one is made of polyamide.
For windows one usually uses alloys of chambers with magnesium, zinc, or manganese. As a rule, powder paints are used for decoration and corrosion and ageing protection of aluminum products. And at the moment there is a wide range of colors and texture, from bronze to wood imitation. Aluminum windows can be also anodized. Modern aluminum products are environment-friendly, resistant to chemicals and weather changes.
Balcony glazing helps to turn this part of apartment into a comfortable and functional space. Balcony glass systems always include window wings that can be open. As a rule, windows with 2 opening methods are mounted: tilt&turn or slide.
TILT AND TURN WINDOW SYSTEMS.
What are their advantages?
It is a popular choice of many home owners. They are very practical and easy to use and maintain.
They offer a great deal of flexibility in regard to ventilation as they can be opened in 2 ways.
Due to gaskets and other accessories these windows are airproof and thermally insulated.
SLIDING WINDOW SYSTEMS..
This type of windows leaves a window sill empty and saves a lot of balcony space. They guarantee that your room will be as light-flooded as possible. Contemporary sliding windows are conveniently designed and can be easily handled. For example, their window wings can be removed without any difficulty like mosquito netting.
Key benefits of aluminum profile systems are:
High level of thermal insulation. Glazing thickness can be extended up to 40 mm. This means that a double glazing glass unit with thick glass panes and gas fill can be inserted.
High level of acoustic insulation. Multi-chamber profiles and sound-proof glass units provide a high level of protection from noise pollution.
High firmness of constructions. Aluminum is an incredibly strong and durable material. Aluminum profiles are much more stable and resistant against deformation than metal-plastic products. That is why window systems made of aluminum are widely used for administrative buildings, apartments and family homes.
