Aluminum windows and doors as part of lifestyle

When we talk about windows or doors, it  always has an image of the owner.  Let´s start with the front door, it will underline the overall appearance of the building and will tell a lot about its owner. Aluminum is used in both commercial and residential construction in applications such as window and door frames, exterior cladding, storefronts, curtain walls, shading devices and skylights.

Aluminum frames have multiple chambers, at the same time they have a broken thermal bridge and contain a central seal. Aluminum window profiles from the leading manufacturers meet requirements for the construction of low-energy and passive houses. They almost always apply where there are high requirements for the architectural design of the building. 
Aluminum windows and doors are the highest league  that still represent smaller share on the US market, not due to worse features, but because of the price that is higher than uPVC or wood. We all know part of technology and energy-intensive treatment are the leading factors behind  the higher price with aluminum products. Window for lifetime, however, will make up for this investment in the future.

A dozen reasons to pay for aluminum:

  •          Permanent resistance to external influences - wind, hail, rain, snow, thieves ...
  •         Maintenance-free - no painting, varnishing
  •          Long life.
  •          Color fastness.
  •          Exceptional statics - the possibility of large assemblies, impossible for wood and uPVC
  •          Luxury design, modern look - slender, rigid profiles and more light.
  •          They are not tilted, they are constantly accurate and do not burden the building structure.
  •          Endless possibilities in RAL color selection.
  •          Environmental friendly, 100% recyclable.
  •          High thermal insulation - fully comparable with top upvc windows.
  •         Compared to the old windows, heat loss reduces energy loss by up to 80%.
  •         Fire resistance - a great advantage over other materials.

Aluminum is very strong and long-lasting material. Therefore aluminum windows may apply even where uPVC and wood fail. Thanks to exceptional shape stability, aluminum is the best solution for large glazing surfaces and for windows and doors that will be heavily stressed or exposed to severe weather conditions and heat changes.

UPVC WINDOWS ALWAYS ADAPT TO YOUR NEEDS – PART 2

Obrázek
The number of chambers is not only important value to follow The outer wall of the uPVC profiles is usually 2.8-3 mm thick, with the inner cavity of the profile divided by partitions into several chambers. Usually, more chambers mean better thermal insulation properties. What is more significant than the number of chambers is the coefficient of heat transfer  through the frame - the  lower the coefficient, the lower the heat losses across the profile. On the other hand, fewer chambers mean more space for steel reinforcement, which can then be more massive. The greater the window size, the higher the requirement is for the static load-bearing capacity that the metal reinforcement provides. These design elements determine the maximum size of the windows that can be produced from the profile type. The uPVC windows are excellently proven both in the construction of new family houses and in the reconstruction of older houses because of their variable capabilities.  ...

To get some fresh outdoor air into your home is important for your health

Obrázek
Fresh outdoor air contains 400 ppmv (parts per million volume) of CO2 (carbon dioxide). Humans and animals exhale the same gas at the same time in amount that depends on their physical activity. In rooms that are not sufficiently ventilated, this gas accumulates and causes what we can call the stuffy air. Staying in such rooms can lead to many health problems - from fatigue and drowsiness to irreversible damage of your health.  Content of the CO2 for feeling of the fresh air is up to 700 ppmv. Values above 1000 ppmv are less suitable for permanent residence and sleeping (eg in the apartment), above 1500 ppmv is unsuitable. At 5,000 ppmv (PEL - Permissible Exposure Limit), the stay must be limited for the shortest time as possible.  At 25,000 ppmv (NPK - maximum admissible concentration) there is a risk of death by suffocation.  The correct ventilation intensity in the room or house can be calculated according to the number of people in the room and their physical activ...
