Traditionally the Windows market was
divided into two materials: wood and aluminium, while currently the PVC has
gained more ground, becoming the most widely used. Regardless of this, the aluminium is still a great choice.
Let's see what are the advantages and disadvantages of this material in the
Windows of our home.
At the time of placing Windows in our apartment,
it is essential that they comply with a number of fundamental features. We must
above all take into account those that best suit the characteristics of the
construction and the climatic zone where the House is located. The overall
objective of a window is to ensure protection against heat and the
cold, be durable and easy to maintain, and offer a good degree of
soundproofing.
At the moment of choosing the material which will
be used for Windows is convenient to be sure that the crystals that conform to
this structure are manageable, easy to remove and replace. Otherwise we have
problems for cleaning or in the event of a breakdown.
Another
factor to take into account is that the chosen material can determine the
ventilation system (side, slide, swing, guillotine...) that has the window.
The
Windows market has traditionally focused on two materials: wood and aluminium,
although it should be noted that in recent years the PVC has won great
force, becoming the most widely used material.
Anyway,
and despite that, the aluminium is
always a good choice. Let's see what the advantages are.
One
of the main advantages of aluminium
Windows is its easy maintenance, since once installed do not require virtually
no care. In addition, its lacquered finishes do not attract dirt and their
hardware is docile and gentle do not produce large damage by misuse.
Another
important aspect is that the process of anodizing which are exposed allows the
paint adheres perfectly on the surface, preventing the partial or total
corrosion on the periphery.
Continuing
with the advantages of the Windows of this material we should say that they are
a great weapon against moisture, Sun and any weather incident. In addition,
non-flammable, and they are easily adapted to any type of glass thickness,
optimal offering thermal and acoustic insulation.
In
summary we can say that:
Advantages:
- Quick and easy installation quickly due to its light weight.
- Easy to clean.
- Available in various colors.
- Strong and rigid, Adaptive all-weather materials.
