What Are The Benefits of Aluminium?

At Worcester Glazing, we know that you want the very best for your home. We work with industry leaders to supply and install premium windows, doors and conservatories, crafted with high quality materials. We collaborate with AluK and Origin to offer outstanding aluminium windows and doors, so that you can enjoy optimal performance, endurance and longevity. Aluminium installations can be slightly more expensive than uPVC, but there are definite benefits to using aluminium in your home improvement projects. We’ve considered just a few of the biggest advantages of choosing aluminium over other materials, so you can be confident that you’re choosing the best pieces for your West Midlands home! 

Inherent Strength

The natural qualities of aluminium, especially when used in an alloy, make it incredibly strong. Aluminium is a low density metal and is very lightweight, which makes it very strong and durable. This is obviously an asset as a material to craft windows and doors, as it keeps homes incredibly secure. Aluminium window profiles are longer-lasting than uPVC, as they do not warp or decay as a result of wear or weather. You can be confident that your home is protected against external force and know that their new windows will stand the test of time. Your aluminium windows are sure to retain their quality and appearance and will continue to look fresh and new for years to come with minimal maintenance. When it does eventually come time to replace your aluminium windows, roughly 20-30 years from now, the material will be fully recyclable. Unlike uPVC, aluminium doesn’t need to end up in landfill. Our windows will continue to serve in one way or another for generations. The windows we supply have integrated multipoint locking systems which further protect the home against potential intruders for complete peace of mind. 

Thermally Efficient 

Aluminium is a natural thermal insulator due to being a low density material. We craft aluminium window profiles with a polyamide thermal break in the frame – designed to trap small pockets of warm air and prevent heat loss by convection. Heat is better retained in the home, eliminating frustrating temperature fluctuations and reducing the need for central heating to maintain a comfortable temperature. 

By making a home more energy efficient, these windows also contribute to the environment as they limit the carbon emissions from the property. You will notice that your energy bills drop as a result of reduced fuel consumption for heating and the carbon footprint of your property will shrink, thanks to your premium aluminium window frames from Worcester Glazing.

Slimline Aesthetics

Aluminium window profiles boast some of the slimmest frames on the market. This is fantastic for keeping up with the minimalistic aesthetics that are so popular and timeless, with slender profiles allowing for more natural light and unobstructed views to create a brighter and more welcoming home. Slimline window profiles are an excellent way to illuminate and revitalise a previously dim and shadowy space and aluminium has the inherent qualities to be able to support this design without unsightly reinforcements. High quality aluminium windows are also very attractive to prospective buyers, and can increase the kerb appeal and value of a property. Maximise the aesthetic appeal of your home with aluminium window profiles, and contact our team to discuss design and configuration ideas.
