Are aluminium windows energy efficient?
Now to the crux of our blog post: are aluminium windows energy efficient? When installing new windows, one of the most important things to consider is how energy efficient they are. Modern aluminium windows are highly energy efficient, thanks to several advanced technological enhancements. So, what makes aluminium windows energy efficient?
-
- Thermal Break Technology
Thermal break technology is an innovative advancement at the heart of aluminium window efficiency. A thermal break is a section of insulating material placed between the inside and outside of the aluminium frame. This robust barrier significantly reduces the amount of heat that can pass through the frame of the window and enhances its insulating properties. - Double & Triple Glazing
Our aluminium windows feature double or triple glazing as standard. Double glazing consists of two panes of glass with a gap in between, filled with air or an inert gas like argon. This design reduces heat transfer, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Triple glazing has an additional pane of glass and an extra layer of insulation. - Low-E Coatings
Low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings are designed to improve the energy efficiency of aluminium windows. These microscopic metal or metallic oxide layers reflect heat while allowing light to pass through. Low-E coatings help retain heat within your home during the winter and reflect heat away during the summer for comfortable year-round indoor temperatures. - Sealants
Our aluminium windows are equipped with high-quality sealants to prevent air leakage and keep your home secure. Sealants are vital in maintaining your property’s energy efficiency and stopping warm and cool air from escaping or entering. This reduces the need for you to use your heating and cooling systems excessively.
- Thermal Break Technology
Our aluminium windows deliver outstanding thermal properties which enhances their energy efficiency. These features regulate indoor temperatures, reducing energy consumption and contributing to lower utility bills. This makes aluminium windows a smart investment to make for the energy efficiency of your home that continues to deliver.
