How to choose aluminum alloy windows?

2025,06,10

Doors and windows are essential materials for home decoration. With the development of science and technology, their functionality and aesthetics are gradually improving. Up to now, aluminum alloy doors and windows are still the most widely used materials for doors and windows. This article introduces the profile types and opening methods of aluminum alloy doors and windows to let you know about aluminum alloy doors and windows.

Aluminum Windows—Profile Classification

Aluminum alloys can be divided into ordinary aluminum alloys and broken bridge aluminum alloys according to their profile characteristics.

Ordinary aluminum profiles: The profiles are integral, without breaks in the middle, and heat transfer and heat dissipation are relatively fast;

Broken bridge aluminum profiles: The profiles are integral, connected in the middle with PA66 nylon strips (whether there is such a nylon strip is a sign to distinguish ordinary aluminum from broken bridge aluminum), forming three layers of air layers, which are non-conductors inside and outside, and have different temperature differences inside and outside, and have better sound insulation and heat insulation performance.

The cross-sectional comparison is shown in the figure below, which can intuitively show the difference between the two.

Aluminum Windows—Opening Method

Aluminum Alloy Windows can be divided into three categories according to their functional use: sliding windows, casement windows, and top-hung windows.

Aluminum Sliding Windows: There are two types of sliding windows: left and right, and up and down. Choose the appropriate sliding method according to the size ratio of the window.

Advantages: simple, large window width, large glass block, wide field of view, open in one plane, less space occupied, easy to install screens, etc.

Disadvantages: two windows cannot be opened at the same time, at most only half can be opened, the ventilation is relatively poor, and sometimes the sealing is slightly poor.

Aluminum Casement Windows: There are two types of opening: outward opening and inward opening. The inward opening type is convenient for window cleaning, and the outward opening type does not take up space when opened. Choose the appropriate opening method according to the actual use.

Advantages: large opening area, good ventilation, excellent sealing and anti-seepage performance.

Disadvantages: small window width, narrow field of view. The outward opening window takes up a space outside the wall when opening, and is easily damaged when the wind blows; while the inward opening window takes up part of the indoor space, and it is inconvenient to use screens, and it is also inconvenient to use screens, curtains, etc. when opening the window.

Top-hung window: developed on the basis of open window, its characteristic is that it can be opened horizontally or pushed open from the top. It can be made to open inwards and tilt inwards, open outwards and tilt outwards, etc. It can be used for ventilation and ensure safety. Because of the hinge, the window can only be opened ten centimeters, and hands cannot be put in from the outside, which is especially suitable for use when no one is at home.
