Aluminium is the future, and it’s revolutionising contemporary architecture. The pros of aluminium certainly outweigh the cons, and architects, manufacturers, and homeowners all prefer the architectural beauty that aluminium achieves.
Brilliant Insulation – Thermally and Acoustically
The material selected for windows and doors should meet your client’s expectations, add value to a project and provide unrivalled performance. Aluminium does just that.
Aluminium is the most thermally efficient profile out of all materials. However, this is only achieved in modern aluminium frames that have been manufactured to the highest quality.
Aluminium is
- Waterproof
- Doesn’t warp, decay or rot
- Thermally efficient
- Protects from the outdoor elements
In turn, providing excellent thermal and acoustic performance with a life expectancy of 40+ years.
Whilst aluminium on its own provides fantastic levels of thermal and acoustic performance – the added extras definitely enhance its capabilities, including air tightness and acoustic glazing.
- Acoustic glazing increases the insulation value more and is highly recommended (double or triple glazing up to 48mm).
- Quality gaskets are essential. These play a vital role in the sealing system and provide optimal levels of acoustic performance.
Give your clients peace of mind, and don’t skimp on the essentials. Doing additional research is important and could even enhance a project further.
Lightweight and Easy to Install
No complex installation processes are required, and the ease of install also means it’s a very efficient choice for projects scheduled on a tight timeframe.
Built to last, practical and providing long-lasting performance, aluminium is an investment and guaranteed to provide beautiful results. Aluminium products need replacing less frequently and require minimal hassle. They tick the boxes all around for multiple project requirements.
