Aluminium windows have several benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thermal performance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High performance aluminium windows are able to meet or exceed energy efficiency standards. Aluminium windows and doors can easily achieve improvements in heat gain and heat loss through windows by 60% rivalling more expensive timber and uPVC equivalents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reduces carbon footprint<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the case of an average gas heated home in Melbourne, the use of aluminium double glazed windows delivers CO2<\/span> equivalent savings of almost three times that required to produce the aluminium frames, just within the first year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the life of the building, energy savings outweigh the initial energy input by well over 100 times. For homes with electrical heating, or cooling for homes in hot climates, savings run into multiples of close to 300 times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durability and low maintenance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The corrosion resistant qualities of aluminium provide a low maintenance frame and is resistant to weathering under a range of harsh environmental conditions. Unlike many other materials, it will not swell, crack, split or warp over time; ensuring an extended product life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aluminium can be left in its finished condition. For additional protection or decorative finishes, aluminium can be anodised or painted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Affordability<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aluminium frames can be significantly less expensive than other framing options, providing a strong yet economical window and door solution, while also achieving excellent energy outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design flexibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inherent strength and flexibility for aluminium to be manufactured to exacting specifications means you are limited only by your imagination. With an endless array of systems, finishes and glass options, aluminium offers a vast range of possibilities from the economical to most elaborate systems while also delivering excellent thermal performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishes<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A range of finishing options ensures that aluminium windows and doors can be perfectly matched to any decor. Powder coating provides an attractive finish to aluminium frames and once coated, does not require repainting. The Interpon colour range gives you the freedom to create the look you want using a variety of natural colours to blend into the environment and colours to coordinate with Colorbond\u00ae steel as well as a selection of pearl and metallic finishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short payback period<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payback periods on high performance aluminium windows are typically far shorter than for other alternatives which offer only marginally improved performance at a far higher price. Such options can take several decades to deliver a payback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
