With the great improvement of social living standards and the rise of the technological level, various aluminum alloy windows have appeared on the market, which are widely used in home decoration due to their strong decorative characteristics. If consumers want to choose high-quality aluminum alloy windows, they must first have a certain understanding of it.
First understand the classification and advantages of aluminum alloy windows.
Aluminum alloy windows are the first products to replace steel windows. They are made of aluminum alloy extruded profiles as frames, stiles and fans. Ordinary aluminum alloy sliding windows use aluminum alloy as the main material, and have better sealing and sound insulation effects than steel windows. It is also easier to process than pure wooden windows and steel windows.
- Classification of aluminum alloy windows
According to the opening method: aluminum alloy windows can be divided into aluminum alloy casement windows (inward opening, outward opening), aluminum alloy sliding windows, aluminum alloy hanging windows (top hanging, middle hanging, bottom hanging), aluminum alloy windows, like windows of other materials. These kinds of alloy fixed windows. Different opening and closing methods of aluminum alloy windows have their own advantages and disadvantages, which are suitable for different spaces, and consumers can choose according to the actual situation.
Classified by profile: Aluminum alloy windows can be divided into two types: ordinary aluminum alloy windows and broken bridge aluminum alloys. Broken bridge aluminum alloy windows are improved windows based on ordinary aluminum alloy windows in order to improve the insulation performance of the windows. The aluminum alloy profile is divided into inner and outer parts by reinforced nylon spacers to block the heat conduction of aluminum. The broken bridge aluminum alloy window has excellent heat insulation, which completely solves the problems of fast heat conduction and poor heat insulation of ordinary aluminum alloy windows. - Advantages of aluminum alloy windows
Compared with windows of other materials, the biggest disadvantage of aluminum alloy is that it conducts heat quickly. But aluminum alloy windows also have many advantages worth choosing.
Aluminum alloy windows are made of aluminum, light weight, high strength, and the density is only 1/3 of steel.
Aluminum alloy windows have good airtight performance. The airtight performance directly affects the use function of the window and the energy consumption. The airtight performance includes four aspects such as air tightness, water tightness, heat insulation and sound insulation. The air tightness, water tightness and sound insulation of aluminum alloy windows are better.
Aluminum alloy windows have good durability and are easy to use and maintain. The aluminum alloy windows are not corroded, faded, and do not fall off, almost no maintenance, and the service life of the parts is extremely long.
Aluminum alloy windows have a good decorative effect. The surface of the aluminum alloy windows has artificial oxide film and colored to form a composite film layer, which is not only corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant, has a certain fire resistance, but also has high gloss and is generous and beautiful.
In autumn and winter, the weather is getting cold, and the indoor temperature is often higher than that indoors, so in order to prevent heat loss, window frames play a decisive role. The material and density of window frames determine the thermal insulation performance of windows.
There are many kinds of materials for window frames, and the market for doors and windows is a mixture of fish and dragons. What are the materials of window frames after all?
Which kind of window frame should I choose?
There are mainly five kinds of window frame materials:
Wood: pure wood window products have a wide range of materials, convenient production, many door and window styles, and good decoration effect, which can meet the needs of different levels of high, middle and low grade.
It has strong decoration, environmental protection and excellent thermal insulation.
This kind of window is more suitable for pastoral style and classical style decoration.
But it consumes natural wood and destroys the environment.
In addition, the material is more expensive and the cost is relatively high.
Fire-retardant and moisture-resistant windows are not as good as aluminum alloy and other materials.
Plastic steel: the raw material of plastic steel window is rigid strength anti-oxidation plastic, because aluminum plastic material does not conduct heat, so the thermal insulation of plastic steel window is better, in addition, it also has the advantages of good sound insulation, impact resistance, strong sealing and so on.
However, the fireproof, safety, anti-theft and ventilation quality of aluminum alloy windows are not as good as those of aluminum alloy windows.
And the strength of plastic windows is not very good, easy to change shape, a few years later will change color and aging.
Aluminum alloy: aluminum alloy windows are relatively common in home life. They have light weight, high strength, good watertightness and air tightness, good fire resistance, large daylighting surface, atmospheric corrosion resistance, long service life, good decoration effect and good environmental protection performance.
But the toughness is not good, the tone is cold, the heat preservation effect is poor, the air tightness is poor, it will leak air and water, and the surface is easy to change color if it is not handled well.
Because it is metallic and has good thermal conductivity, it can quickly transfer the heat from outside into the house in summer, resulting in cold winter and hot summer.
Broken bridge aluminum: on cold protection and warmth, the first is broken bridge aluminum doors and windows.
It closely connects the indoor and outdoor two layers of aluminum alloy into a whole to form a new aluminum profile.
High strength, unchanged, maintenance-free.
The improvement improves the thermal insulation performance of the window, and its air tightness is better than any aluminum and plastic steel doors and windows, which can ensure that the indoor windowsill and floor in the area with heavy wind and sand are free of sand and dust.
The broken bridge aluminum profile can realize the three sealing structure of the door and window, reasonably separate the water vapor cavity, successfully realize the gas-water isobaric balance, significantly improve the water tightness and air tightness of the door and window, and achieve the effect of clean and bright window.
Glass: the glass material is generally connected with the window as a whole form, so the integrity is very strong, the appearance also looks very beautiful, but the production cost is very high, the technical requirement is high, the family use is very little, generally common in large public buildings.
The above is a brief introduction to the window frame material, I hope it can be helpful to everyone!

When your windows and doors are not in normal use, your aluminum alloy windows may face the option of repair or replacement.
Knowing four common aspects can help you make informed choices.
Unqualified installation.
Whether the installation of windows and doors is standard or not will directly lead to the use effect and service life of doors and windows. Non-standard installation must be paid attention to.
In judging whether the installation of windows and doors is standard or not, it is mainly evaluated from five aspects: door sash, window sash, frame, lock and use, and it mainly remembers several standard values:
(1) Joint gap should be less than or equal to 1mm.
(2) The allowable deviation of the verticality of the front and side of the door and window frame is 2.5mm.
(3) The horizontal allowable deviation of the horizontal frame of windows and doors is 2mm.
(4) The allowable deviation of the horizontal frame elevation of windows and doors is 5mm.
(5) The allowable deviation of vertical deviation from the center of windows and doors is 5mm.
The strength of the profile is not enough.
The strength grade of aluminum alloy is divided according to the indexes such as tension, yield, hardness and so on.
The strength is not strong enough to be prone to deformation and damage in severe weather such as typhoon, which is a great threat to the safety of users’ lives and property.
Generally speaking, consumers can observe with the naked eye, press with hands, shake and other methods, basically can identify whether the strength of door and window materials is enough.
Poor quality of accessories.
Accessories as an important part of the safety of doors and windows, good hardware accessories are standard for good doors and windows, and good hardware accessories are more expensive.
In the actual real estate development, many developers generally use relatively cheap hardware accessories in order to reduce the cost of doors and windows.
Hardware accessories feel poor, not to mention poor quality, easy to rust, easy to break, resulting in falling fan injury and other safety accidents occur from time to time.
Poor performance of doors and windows.
The basic functions of doors and windows are ventilation, lighting and rain protection, which is the most fundamental concept of door and window design at present, but due to environmental reasons, more people will upgrade their requirements for doors and windows, such as heat insulation and mute, and then upgrade to overall beauty and permanent deformation.
Good doors and windows make your living environment more safe and beautiful, make you feel happy, better reflect your pursuit of quality of life, and promote your interpersonal circle.
For owners who pursue high quality of life, good doors and windows are the basic configuration of a comfortable living environment.
