Thanks to high-quality glazing, the house acquires not only an attractive appearance, but is also well protected from all negative factors of operation. Especially popular in modern residential and non-residential buildings frameless glazing, which allows you to make especially large panoramic windows. But, the choice of designs is not limited to this option.
Features of aluminum frames
Unlike traditional wood frames, aluminum does not tend to deteriorate over time. Colored material does not come into contact with high humidity and temperature changes. And this means that aluminum frames will last in window frames for the longest possible period. To other, no less important advantages of choosing aluminum as the basis for the frame, it is worth highlighting:
- Sufficiently large glasses can be used for glazing.
- The manufacturer will make both fixed and opening windows.
- Minimum maintenance throughout the year.
- During operation, it is quite difficult to damage the window.
- Relatively light construction does not load the window opening.
Quality aluminum windows are most often used in industrial, office and commercial premises. But, frames can be ordered for an apartment or a private house. The high price fully pays off with the longest service life.
Practicality and accessibility of a plastic window
In its pure form, polymers for window frames are practically not used. To strengthen and reliability of the structure, manufacturers insert a steel or aluminum profile inside. It increases the reliability of the frame as a whole and minimizes the risk of sash distortion during everyday use. Other equally important factors in choosing a plastic window should be added:
- relatively inexpensive to manufacture and install;
- provides all the necessary performance;
- Wide choice of frame profiles for home or interior decor;
- plastic does not need additional protection from moisture, cold, sun;
The sash adjustment mechanism will help correct a slight misalignment.
High-quality plastic windows provide comfort and warmth in the house, even if the temperature outside the window has dropped significantly. But, unlike the aluminum profile, plastic cannot ensure the reliability of the structure if the customer wants to get especially large opening sashes. The design should have several vertical or horizontal partitions.
