Aluminium Windows

Aluminium windows are extremely long-lasting, depending on how well they are maintained and the kind of area they are based in. Nonetheless, aluminium naturally lasts for decades – even 40 years or more when treated with the ideal care. This is because aluminium is a material which has been designed to endure tough conditions.

Natural exposure to wear and tear is expected, but you can help your new aluminium windows last with just a few small actions. We recommend the occasional wipe down of window frames as well as giving them a hoover inside the frames to clean them of any debris which may have fallen inside.

Unsurprisingly, aluminium windows can be seen in many schools and commercial properties as they are reliably strong and long-lasting. However, many modern homes choose to have them now for both their astounding look and uncompromising performance.

If the price is rather high for your budget, uPVC is a good alternative to our aluminium windows. Nonetheless, if you wish for minimal maintenance and modern sleekness, Launa Windows advise having aluminium windows installed – you won’t be disappointed.

Benefits include recyclability and little effort involved, as well as gorgeous-looking exteriors that will complement your home. They are characterised by ultra-thin frames and generously sized window panes to give you undisrupted views of the beautiful outdoors – whilst you’re warm inside! Light up your home with the glowing sun, or bring the fresh air indoors with easy opening mechanisms. 

Aluminium windows are very low maintenance and self-sufficient, requiring only a small wipe down to keep them going for several decades. When the day comes that you need them replaced, you can recycle them as aluminium windows are easily recyclable and thus a very sustainable option. At Launa, however, we always recycle your old windows, no matter what they’re made of.

Aluminium and uPVC are both great for window frames, offering customers unique and well sought-after features. Considering its specifics, uPVC is a cheaper option for your windows. Despite its friendly price range, uPVC still retains toughness with its firm and durable plastic material to give you optimal security.

On the other hand, aluminium windows have a different appearance. Embracing a minimalist aesthetic, these windows include thinner frames than uPVC and ultimately provide you with the best possible light possible. This is due to the wide surface made of glass, allowing the sun to drench through into your living areas. 

They are both great options from a security point of view and give you all the insulative components you will need. To discuss the aesthetics and benefits of both further, contact us today and talk to one of our friendly experts.

There is a misconception that aluminium windows will cause the house to become cold, as aluminium is a conductive metal. However, the rapid development of window technology has meant this is no longer the case.

All of our aluminium windows are completely energy efficient. A thermal break is present to prevent temperature transference between the outside and inside. This means that the middle of the frame is filled with a non-conductive material that blocks heat and cold from moving through your aluminium windows.

Double and triple glazing also improve your energy efficiency by limiting heat transfer through the glass.

Aluminium does not rust and can last for decades to come with no signs of wear. This is rather a unique characteristic of aluminium, especially in comparison to other metals. 

Just remember to carry out some low maintenance including a wipe down of the frames to rid of any dirt. This will guarantee many years of rust-free usage with zero sign of wear.
