Aluminum windows are an expensive investment, but they are worth every penny. Why? Most importantly, because these windows are durable, can withstand larger sizes and loads, and most of all are easy to maintain. So, in this article I will explain what are the key factors when choosing aluminum windows.

What to look for when choosing aluminum windows?

It goes without saying that the right price for the customer is one of the most important factors when purchasing an item. Aluminum windows can be more expensive than UPVC windows, so it is important to find a reliable supplier. Choosing the wrong supplier can lead to various problems such as: delayed production time, inability to meet your supply needs without informing you, thus delaying your project time as well as substandard quality. Secondly, the price of the same window system varies enormously between different window fitting suppliers and can fluctuate by tens of percentage points.

We at Ya Ji are a factory source rather than a supplier, so there is no need to worry about this. In addition, we constantly monitor the window and door market in Europe, the US and many other regions, so you can rest assured that you will not be overpaying for your order, that you will be able to satisfy your needs in large quantities, and that the quality of the goods will be of the highest level.

Our company also offers you a free project consultation to help you manage your budget and eliminate concerns related to local building requirements and more.

Height of window frame and sash assemblies

The height of the window frame and sash assembly is a factor that affects the thermal insulation of the window - the lower the fold, the greater the glazing area, which is why narrow frame profiles have recently become more popular in recent years.

This trend has awakened competition among aluminum producers, who are competing to produce systems with the smallest possible folding of the window frame and sash, which also allows as much light as possible to enter the room. Another advantage of low-folding standard profiles is that the windows are slightly cheaper because less material is consumed.

From an aesthetic point of view, you have to keep in mind that the larger the size of the structure with the sash, the higher the folding height - this is related to the maximum load that the particular sash and fittings can bear. However, for larger structures, the difference in component heights is not significant.

Allowable sizes and loads

Each window system has its own maximum size and load - this is another parameter that determines which system you should choose when investing, for example, if you want a 3-meter-long entrance without the need to divide the structure into lower sashes and transoms, the number of options available is significantly reduced. Don't worry though, Ya Ji's technical consultants will help you choose a solution that meets your needs.

Aluminum windows - worth the investment? The benefits and advantages of aluminum windows include, for example

Aluminum windows are resistant to wind, sun and scratches, therefore, they can remain unchanged for dozens of years. They can withstand ultra-high loads, as an example:PVC windows have a maximum acceptable side length of about 3 meters, while aluminum windows have a maximum acceptable side length of about 4 meters. They do not require additional care compared to wooden constructions. Aluminum profiles are more durable than veneered PVC profiles due to the varnish, and you can choose from different finishes such as imitation wood grain, matte, glossy or fine sand texture. Aluminum profiles can cover all the colors in the RAL palette or be two-tone - with different shades and finishes inside and out!

What can you do if you don't want to spend more money on aluminum windows, but you're very conscious of their aesthetics? Even if you are on a budget, there are now more and more PVC systems on the market that mimic aluminum profiles. We at Ya Ji are one of them.
