In this article. we will run through the benefits of aluminium windows, and why they are a great choice for your home. 

What are the benefits of aluminium windows?

Aluminium windows have many benefits for UK homes, and that is why they are fast becoming one of the most popular material choices.

But what are those benefits? And why are they a great fit for your property?

1) Sleek and slim

The strength of aluminium as material, mean it can be used to create sleek and slimline window frames that offer the same durability and protection. With slimmer frames, the amount of glass in the frame is maximised, letting more natural light into your home. Not to mention the aesthetic of an aluminium window will instantly elevate the appearance of your home, both inside and out.

2) Versatility in design and functionality

A major benefit of aluminium frames is their compatibility with multiple window styles such as casement and tilt-and-turn. They also provide various opening mechanisms, giving you freedom on the level of air circulation and exposure to the outdoors. So, no matter your vision, an aluminium window can support it.

3) Colour choices

While silver aluminium is a great option to achieve the industrial home design trend, there are also other colour options on offer. Using powder-coated paint, aluminium frames can be customised in a wide range of colours and finishes.

4) Durable

Nobody wants a brand-new window that only looks new for a short time. With an aluminium window, you can be sure your frames retain their excellent appearance. Aluminium’s resistance to corrosion and rust means homeowners don’t need to worry about the durability of their windows. There is no need to re-paint or re-seal either. An aluminium window will remain top-quality all year round, through any weather condition.

5) Energy efficient

Aluminium windows also prevent heat from escaping, which commonly occurs with broken window seals or inefficient frames. With Aluprof Living’s range you can increase the energy efficiency of your home and benefit from a reduction in your energy bills. Aluprof Living’s aluminium windows use thermal break technology to ensure maximum energy efficiency, meaning homeowners can really make their homes warm and comfortable throughout the changing seasons.

6) Secure and strong

Although lightweight, aluminium is extremely strong and can even act as an added layer of security against attempts at forced entry to the home from intruders. For even more protection, Aluprof Living also offers secure locks and hinges, and even an anti-snap lock design.

7) Sustainable and recyclable

As an eco-friendly window choice, opt for aluminium. This ‘green’ metal can be recycled infinitely without it losing its properties, which makes it an incredibly sustainable material.

8) Easily maintained

It’s too easy for windows to become dirty or for debris to get trapped in the exterior frame. With wood or UPVC, homeowners have quite a job to keep their frames looking new and fresh all year round. Consider how much time and money you’ll save by eliminating the need to paint or varnish your window frames every few years. Durable frames can save you from the hassle of frequent maintenance while maintaining a fresh, finished look for much longer. Unlike UPVC frames, aluminium windows and doors do not lose their colour in time. The benefit of an aluminium window is they’re easy to wipe clean of dirt and dust – this makes cleaning and maintenance a quick and simple job.
