So you are ready to replace your old windows. Now you face a decision—what type of material are you going to choose? Have you considered aluminum? We know what you are thinking. While they used to be a staple for low budget housing, modern aluminum windows have come a long way since the 70’s and 80’s. This is why they are still popular among homeowners today. Here are a few reasons to give them a closer look.
Low Maintenance
You will not need to sand and refinish your aluminum windows, as you would with wood frames. Even under harsh conditions, aluminum can hold up. The material does not swell, crack, warp, or split with time and exposure to the elements.
Environmentally Friendly
Over a year aluminum windows can save you almost three times the carbon dioxide emissions, if you own an average sized, gas heated or cooled home. Those savings will triple if you have an electrically cooled or heated home. Not to mention, aluminum is one of the most highly recyclable materials in the world. This sustainable option is great for those homeowners looking to go green.
Energy Efficient
It is common knowledge that aluminum conducts heat and cold. This means many replacement window shoppers abandon aluminum as an option. What they don’t realize is these high—performance windows not only meet energy standards but often exceed them. Modern aluminum frames have insulation, thermal breaks, and multiple panes of glass to help keep you comfortable indoors.
Strong
Aluminum windows are extremely light, but also strong. Unlike wood and vinyl windows Dallas, TX, these can hold larger panes with fewer muntins. You get slim sight lines and more expansive views. This means aluminum windows can come in a larger variety of configurations. Aluminum windows are also more impact—resistant. This is important if you live in an area with high winds.
Affordable
Wood and fiberglass windows are often the most expensive. Aluminum is more affordable. Prices will vary depending on style and size, but usually, this option will give you the most bang for your buck.
Finishes
Because the material is so flexible, we can customize your aluminum windows to perfectly match the interior and exterior of your home. The powder coating gives these windows a sleek, attractive finish in a variety of colors to coordinate with your design tastes. Best of all, your windows will not require any oiling, staining, or painting.
