| Energy Efficiency (Thermal Insulation and Sound Insulation) |
Thermal Insulation Systems: Aluminum frames with thermal breaks (thermal insulation) limit heat loss in winter and maintain coolness in summer. This is achieved through special insulating materials, such as the use of polyamide.
Double or Triple Glazing: The use of double or triple glazing contributes to better sound and thermal insulation. It is a good idea to choose frames with a low thermal transmittance coefficient (U-value), in order to limit heat loss.
|
| Safety |
Modern Locking Mechanisms: Aluminum frames should have multiple locking mechanisms for maximum security. Also consider options with reinforced frames and aluminum profiles.
Durable Glass: Prefer safety glasses (laminated or triplex), which are resistant to burglary attempts and accidents.
|
| Aesthetics and Functionality |
Color and Finish Selection: Aluminum frames are available in a wide variety of colors and finishes, from matte to glossy or wood-like. Make sure your choice matches the style of your space.
Opening Type: Choose the appropriate type of window frame (sliding, opening, pivoting, etc.) depending on your needs and available space. For example, sliding windows are ideal for saving space in small rooms.
|
| Durability & Long-Term Performance |
Aluminum Quality and Protection: Aluminum should be resistant to corrosion and weather conditions. Choose frames with an additional coating or anodizing to protect against the wear and tear of time.
Maintenance and Warranty: Prefer frames from certified manufacturers who offer a warranty and after-sales support.
|
| Economic Factors |
Return on Investment: Although energy-efficient windows are usually more expensive, they save energy and reduce heating and cooling costs in the long run.
Subsidy Programs: In many cases, there are subsidies or “Save Money” programs that reduce the cost of replacing windows. Find out about available subsidies before purchasing.
|
| Manufacturer and Installation Selection |
Professional Installation: Proper installation of window frames is crucial for their performance. Choose specialized technicians to ensure proper installation.
Approved Manufacturers and Certifications: Look for manufacturers with quality certifications, such as CE, to ensure the product meets safety and energy efficiency standards.
