Are your windows tired, cracked and ready to be replaced? Replacing the windows in your home is no small task and one that should be considered carefully to ensure you get the best value for money, long-lasting windows and improved performance.
This is why aluminium windows might just be the perfect fit! Check out these top five reasons why aluminium windows are a great investment for your home.
1. The Cost of Aluminium Windows
Apart from wooden frame windows, aluminium windows are the most expensive window frames out there. The initial cost can be anywhere between £276 to £930 per window. As they are low maintenance frames, these windows shouldn’t incur too many costs after installation. That being said, aluminium can dent easily and as it’s difficult to repair, they often need to be replaced entirely or painted to mask the dent.
The benefits do outweigh the costs, though, and if it’s in your budget, aluminium windows are a fantastic and functional addition to your home.
Ultimately, it is still much cheaper than timber and offers the best value for money due to the long life expectancy and improved energy performance.
2. Durable and Long Lasting
A huge benefit of Aluminium windows is that they are one of the most durable options. They do not crack, peel, bend or warp. The finishes also protect the windows from corrosion, which brings down costs and maintenance in the long term.
The durability of these types of windows is not sacrificed for weight. In fact, aluminium windows are thinner, lighter and easier to handle than most other window materials.
The metal is resistant to the elements and will not corrode or rust, which makes it a great option for a storm door.
3. Attractive Look
Aluminium is sleek, stylish and contemporary. It is also very easy to pain which means that you can give them a makeover whenever you feel like changing the style up.
You can also powder-coat it for different looks and it’s a very versatile material, making it a stunning addition to any style of home. This is why it’s a much-loved favourite of interior designers.
You can even have different colour aluminium on the exterior and interior of the window to match the aesthetic of your home.
4. Energy Efficient
The windows and doors in your home have a huge impact on your energy bills and efficiency. Aluminium has shown a huge improvement in thermal performance and boasts good insulation. Adding double-glazed to your aluminium windows drastically reduces heat loss.
If you choose the glass wisely, your aluminium windows can be very energy efficient, saving you money on your bills.
The material is also 100% recyclable, making it an energy-efficient, sustainable and eco-friendly option.
5. Low Maintenance
As mentioned above, aluminium windows are low maintenance and durable. You don’t need to be worried about rust or discolouration. If you keep them clean, giving a thorough clean at least twice a year, that’s all the maintenance they require.
They are the cheapest and easiest windows to maintain and will look and work as good as new for a very long time.
