Aluminum windows are often used in commercial applications because they are made of frames that are very strong, are available in different colors, and come with slim profile frames that are virtually maintenance free. For commercial clients looking for a contemporary looking building, they are the most obvious, strong and modern looking choice.

Aluminum windows were first made when double-glazed windows became popular in the 1960s. They were the most popular choice because they were resistant to a number of common window problems including warping, sticking, moisture absorption , rot and oxidation. Although they have become more expensive in recent years due to higher metal prices, these benefits of aluminum windows are the main reasons why so many commercial builders and homeowners select them.

Until recently they had fallen somewhat out of favor, allowing too much heat to escape due to the conductivity of the metal. However, energy efficiency is greatly improved when a thermal break is added and this has brought them back into fashion. Combining double glazing with aluminum windows that include a thermal break now makes them an energy efficient option.

These benefits can also be enjoyed by homeowners. Suitable for all styles of homes, aluminum windows are a popular choice. They are virtually maintenance free and therefore an easy way to add style and comfort. These windows will keep noise out and heat in to maximize comfort.

The strength and durability of these windows allows them to be installed directly against masonry and can also be installed into a hardwood substructure. To maximize the energy efficiency of your home, you should only consider aluminum thermal break window frames combined with double glazing.

The slim frames make them easily adaptable to a number of installations, and the slim profile gives them a modern look that can instantly update your home. Combined with double glazing, they allow you to enjoy greater security due to their solidity, and the reduction in noise from road traffic and greater energy savings are additional advantages.
