Aluminum windows and doors, why (not)?

Aluminum windows and doors have been a popular choice for both residential and commercial buildings for many years. They offer some advantages, but they also have some disadvantages. In this article, we'll explore the best and worst things about aluminum windows and doors. All the advantages of aluminum windows and doors?

1. Sustainability

One of the biggest advantages of aluminum windows and doors is their durability. They are made of a strong and lightweight material that can withstand extreme weather conditions and intensive use. These windows and doors are also resistant to rust and corrosion, making them a great choice for coastal areas or areas with high humidity.

2. Energy efficiency

Another advantage of aluminum windows is their energy efficiency. They have low thermal conductivity, meaning they don't transfer heat as easily as other materials. This can help insulate your home or building better thanks to these windows and doors keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter, saving you money on heating and cooling costs.

3. Aluminum windows and doors are easy to maintain

Aluminum windows are also very maintenance-friendly. They do not need to be painted or stained and can be easily cleaned with just a damp cloth. They also come in a variety of colors and finishes, so you can choose a style that matches the aesthetic of your home or building.

Only benefits?

  • The disadvantage, cost of aluminum windows and doors. They are generally more expensive than other types of windows, such as PVC or wooden windows and doors.

  • Not the best insulation: Another disadvantage of aluminum windows is that they do not insulate as well as other materials. They also retain less heat, which can lead to drafts and higher heating costs in winter.

  • Not so environmentally friendly. Aluminum windows are also not as environmentally friendly as other materials. These windows are also not as easy to recycle as windows and doors made of other materials.
