A home is incomplete without doors & windows. However, many people poorly assume that only aesthetics & price should play a role in choosing the right home or office system. While we cannot reject the role of both aesthetics & price play, it is necessary to consider the other advantages that your choice brings. In this blog, we focus on why aluminium is the ideal choice when you are looking to install doors and windows. The material greatly impacts other aspects such as electricity bills, wear and tear bills, comfort & peace of mind.
Aluminium has multiple benefits; it is a material that amalgamates aesthetics & performance all in one.
Here are a few reasons that make aluminium the perfect choice for your doors and windows:
#1 Toughness: Aluminium is a durable material & resistant to corrosion. Because it is so durable it is often a chosen material for fittings that have extreme weather conditions. Owing to specialized surface treatments, aluminium windows and doors hold on to their aesthetics and implementation throughout their lifetime. Whether you live in the parched regions of Rajasthan or the wet regions of Maharashtra, aluminium is the perfect weather-proof material. Aluminium can resist harsh weather conditions in windy regions, extreme heat, torrential downpours and snowfall.
#2 Affordability: Aluminium is an inexpensive alternative to timber and offers outstanding value for money. Owing to its longevity and surface finish aluminium windows and doors are much more useful than traditional wood. Also, aluminium should not be evaluated at its upfront cost solely. A material that could probably be more reasonable to start with could end up incurring a lot of maintenance, replacement & wear and tear costs. Aluminium, as compared to timber, boats of hassle-free upkeep as it will not rot, warp or be invaded by termites. In the long run, you will not be needed to spend money on termite companies or carpenters to repair the windows & doors.
#3 Low Maintenance: Affordable aluminium windows and doors save you the money & time spent on maintenance. Doors made of this material do not discolour or rust, thus, their maintenance is not costly and quite convenient. On the other hand, large timber panels are easy to deform when exposed to severe weather conditions. Everyday cleaning means just tapping the frame with a soft cloth. Aluminium only requires two-deep clean-ups annually and can be done with soap & water and a soft cloth. Bringing them back to mint condition is a breeze.
#4 Aesthetically appealing: Aluminium windows and doors look more suitable as they can be given multiple finishes and looks. Contemporary architecture owes a lot to aluminium fittings due to their personalisation characteristics which allow them to be tailored to suit the most challenging specifications. Aluminium is no longer just an ‘industrial looking’ material that is plain & boring; it can be easily customised with a finish and colour of your liking.
#5 Fire-resistant: Aluminium windows and doors are more resistant to fire than wood. Hence, if a fire breaks out in a building or home, aluminium will decrease the chances of damage, whether naturally or accidentally. It makes them a safe & excellent fire-resistant choice for your window and door systems.
