Aluminum windows and doors

Advantages of Aluminum Doors & Windows

Aluminum profiles are durable, lightweight, and cost-effective. They offer high strength, resistance to sunlight and environmental conditions, and are eco-friendly. Aluminum windows also come in a wide range of colors and designs, making them a versatile choice for any project.

Key Benefits:

  • High Strength: Aluminum frames are stronger than wood, iron, or uPVC frames and are more affordable. They have minimal expansion or contraction.

  • Eco-Friendly: Aluminum is the most recyclable metal, supporting sustainable construction.

  • Lightweight & Durable: Despite their light weight, aluminum doors and windows provide excellent durability.

  • Energy Efficiency: Aluminum windows can improve thermal performance by up to 60%, reducing heating costs.

  • Weather & Sun Resistance: They withstand harsh sunlight, rain, and environmental exposure.

  • Color Variety: Available in a wide spectrum of colors to suit any aesthetic preference.

  • Easy Installation: Lightweight construction allows for fast and simple installation.

  • Design Flexibility: Aluminum can be shaped into decorative designs for various window sizes.

  • Low Maintenance: Resistant to corrosion, requiring minimal upkeep; a damp sponge is sufficient for cleaning.

  • Affordable: Cost-effective without compromising quality.

These advantages have made aluminum doors and windows a widely used choice for modern buildings.


Factors Affecting Aluminum Door & Window Prices

The price of double-glazed aluminum windows depends on several factors, each with options to suit your budget:

  • Weight of pure aluminum used

  • Polyamide cost

  • Production costs

  • Paint and anodizing

  • Hardware pricing

  • Transportation and installation

  • Glass type

  • Exact dimensions

  • Number of openings and hardware

  • Production quality

  • Machinery used

  • Welding quality

  • Profile design

  • Other costs


Types of Aluminum Doors & Windows

  1. Non-thermal Aluminum Windows: The earliest series of aluminum windows.

  2. Thermal Break Aluminum Windows: Designed with a thermal break to reduce heat transfer. Aluminum profiles are connected using polyamide strips to improve insulation.


Non-thermal Aluminum Windows

Previously, standard aluminum windows were connected using rebar for structural support. While capable of holding double-glazed glass, the frames offered limited insulation, leading to energy loss.

Advantages:

  • Durable against sunlight without significant color fading

  • High corrosion resistance

  • Recyclable and resaleable after years of use

  • Wide variety of colors

Disadvantages:

  • Requires punching or pressing to resist impact

  • Limited thermal insulation compared to thermal break windows

  • Large or heavy laminated glass can cause structural issues


Thermal Break Aluminum Windows

Thermal break windows are highly insulated, modern aluminum windows. The polyamide strip between the inner and outer profiles minimizes heat transfer, providing:

  • Excellent thermal insulation

  • Sound insulation

  • Vibration resistance

  • Environmental sustainability (recyclable)

  • Fire resistance

  • High durability and long lifespan

  • Lightweight, secure, and resistant to color fading

These windows are widely preferred in contemporary construction due to their performance and versatility.


Opening Systems

Aluminum double-glazed doors and windows come in various opening types:

  • Sliding

  • Hinged

  • Wagon

  • Accordion

  • Lift & Slide

  • Tilt & Turn

  • Tilt

  • Pivot


Glass Types for Aluminum Doors & Windows

  • Single-glass: The simplest type, with thicknesses ranging from 2–20mm. Available in patterned, frosted, or reflective styles.

  • Double-glass: Most common for energy efficiency and soundproofing.

  • Special glass: Can be combined with single or double glazing depending on the building’s requirements.


Aluminum Material Overview

Aluminum is widely used in door and window profiles due to its lightweight, corrosion resistance, and workability. Extruded aluminum profiles form the structural framework, ensuring thermal and acoustic insulation when combined with double-glass panes.

Profile Types:

  • Frame profile: For the window or door frame

  • Sash/profile: Forms the opening section; larger for doors

  • Mullion profile: Acts as horizontal or vertical support within the frame

  • Accessory profiles: Includes double/triple glazing beads, 90-degree profiles, spacers, connectors, UPVC panels, etc.
