Large glazings definitely add a modern touch to any interior. They present a minimalist and modern appearance and allow natural light into the interior. However, there are a number of myths circulating around them, which can effectively discourage many people from selecting them. In the following article, we set out to debunk them.

Large aluminium windows – the most frequently repeated myths

MYTH: Heat escapes from the house through large windows

FACT: With large aluminium windows, concerns about heat escape are unfounded. Modern aluminium joinery features a high insulation factor. This is achieved through the use of modern technology and insulation, which further protects against both heating and the escape of heat from the rooms. Most modern windows nowadays have triple-layer thermal insulation inserts that keep heat transfer to the outside to a minimum during the winter months. At the same time, the same insert insulates the interior perfectly, keeping solar radiation out of the room during the summer months.

Large glazings guarantee a panoramic view and perfectly connect the house to the terrace, providing unique contact with the environment. It is a myth that heat escapes through such windows – appropriate designs guarantee high thermal insulation.

MYTH: Large aluminium windows mean a greater risk of burglary

FACT: In the case of aluminium windows with an anti-burglary package, security concerns are unfounded. This type of aluminium joinery is very often equipped not only with solid frames, but also with other security features, such as anti-burglary fittings, which will make the task of potential burglars much more difficult.

Aluprof focuses not only on the environment but also on the safety of the users of its products, which is why you will find certified burglar protection in most of the available models. In addition, the windows can be secured with special, made-to-measure burglar-proof blinds, which promote the safety of the occupants even more effectively.

MYTH: Large glazings are very difficult to open

FACT: The truth is that glazed structures can weigh up to 300 kg! However, the use of appropriate mechanisms, such as adjustable bogies, makes it easier for any householder to operate the sashes, even the elderly and children. These systems are designed to operate faultlessly for many years, so we do not have to worry about possible breakdowns.

Large glazings: quality, safety and comfort for your home

Large glazings in the houses provide both security and convenience. What’s more, thanks to the technologies used, they provide excellent protection against heat loss in winter and excessive interior heating in the summer months. In the Aluprof aluminium window catalogue, you will find a wide range of products to easily match the requirements of your project.
