Aluminium has for years been associated primarily with industry. Over time, as technology has advanced and environmental awareness has grown, the material has also found its way into the construction industry, such as window and door joinery.

What are the benefits of aluminium windows?

Aluminium windows manufactured these days are a state-of-the-art solution that is becoming increasingly popular for its numerous sustainable building benefits.

Durability and robustness

Extremely durable, aluminium is a material distinguished by its high resistance to corrosion and mechanical damage. These properties mean that windows made from this material are highly durable, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.

Energy efficiency

Modern aluminium windows stand out for their excellent thermal insulation properties. The high level of airtightness and efficient thermal insulation substantially reduce energy consumption for interior heating and cooling. This translates directly into reduced costs for electricity bills and reduced carbon dioxide emissions.

Recycling and sustainability

Aluminium is a material that can be fully recycled with no loss of its properties. This means that old or unwanted windows can be recycled into new products again and again. This approach helps to substantially minimise negative environmental impacts, fitting in with the idea of sustainable development.

Passive window — a step further towards ecology

When seeking ways to reduce energy consumption for aluminium joinery solutions, it is advisable to consider, for example, MB-79N windows, which are distinguished by their very low heat transfer coefficient (Uw), at 0.83 W/m²K. Such excellent insulating properties can be achieved by using special frames, multi-chamber profiles and insulating glass units with a low emissivity coating to reduce heat loss.

Aluminium windows can be an eco-friendly choice, which is due to the excellent technical performance of the material from which they are made. Extra benefits such as modern design, variety of colours and adaptability to many architectural styles combine to make them a perfect solution for almost any residential building.
