Until recently, aluminium joinery was mainly of interest to commercial investors, and we usually only saw windows and doors made of this material in public buildings. Today, the situation is completely different. Individual customers are choosing aluminium windows for single-family homes because there is a much greater awareness of the advantages of aluminium joinery. The development of advanced technologies also favours this phenomenon, as it has been possible to eliminate many constructional and functional defects in aluminium window models, such as low thermal insulation. The main advantage of aluminium is considered to be its resistance to weather conditions and mechanical damage. Furthermore, it is light, very stable and durable. The high plasticity of this material allows for the construction of profiles in various shapes, which is difficult or even impossible with other materials. An unquestionable advantage of aluminium is also the ease of keeping it clean and in perfect condition for many years. It does not require special renovation or maintenance, which is particularly important if the windows are to be located in a hard-to-reach place. When choosing joinery for your home, it is worth considering the the most interesting aluminium window and door models and you certainly don’t have to worry about it.
Systems used in the production of aluminium joinery
The Econoline system is a non-insulated system that allows for the use of glass panes with a thickness of 3 to 38 mm. It is most commonly used in office spaces as windows, doors or partition walls. The Imperial system is a perfect solution for the production of all kinds of exterior windows and shop windows, as well as swing and sliding doors. The three-chamber system ensures thermal insulation, tightness and vapour barrier. Superial is a system with increased thermal and acoustic insulation. It is used in the production of side-hung, tilt and turn and tilt and slide windows. The Star system, a three-chamber window and door system, has a very good thermal insulation coefficient. What makes it stand out from other systems is that the same insulating material is used in the window sash and frame, and the innovative system for draining water from the structure.
It has been used successfully for a long time in public buildings and will certainly be used for a long time to come. In single-family construction, on the other hand, it definitely looks best in modern buildings and interiors. It emphasises the cool and raw character of the design, and is simple and minimalist. It harmonises wonderfully with the loft style as well as with interiors where concrete and metal predominate. In such spaces, both aluminium windows and glass interior doors, which also function as partitions between individual zones in the house, will work perfectly.
