Building materials aren’t cheap. Replacing your windows and doors alone can cost thousands of dollars. We all want to reduce our expenses but at the same time, you don’t want to waste money using materials that won’t last long or provide poor thermal qualities. Aluminium is the perfect option seeing as it’s lightweight, highly durable, offers great thermal qualities and cost much less than other options.
Best Value for Money
While aluminium is cheaper than timber, PVC is the cheapest option available for building your windows and doors. However, aluminium offers far better value for your money as it is a much stronger material that offers better energy performance. Over a longer time period, aluminium is in fact the most cost-effective option when you factor in things like lifespan and the cost of upkeep.
The exterior of your home gets battered by rain, wind and sun on a regular basis. Lightweight and strong aluminium windows allow you to reduce costs without skimping on durability. Aluminium is three times stronger than PVC and four times stronger than wood. This makes it an ideal option for windows and doors, offering the best value for money.
Save Time and Money on Maintenance
The average homeowner spends around $180 each month on repairs and maintenance. Using quality materials like aluminium can help you reduce the frequency and severity of repair issues. The powder coating on aluminium windows is designed to stand up to the harshest environments. Unlike wooden windows that must be painted on a regular basis, you don’t have to worry about the powder coating coming off. Aluminium also won’t crack, split, swell or warp.
Aluminium doors and windows do not rust or discolour. This makes maintaining them quick, easy and cheap. All you need to do is clean them around twice a year with soapy water. Simply give your aluminium doors and windows a quick clean, then wipe with a soft cloth to keep them in mint condition. This is all you need to keep your aluminium doors and windows looking bright and operating smoothly for decades.
Improve Energy Efficiency
Heating and cooling systems account for around 30 per cent of all household energy use. If your home is poorly insulated or has drafty windows and doors, the cost of maintaining a comfortable temperature inside can be staggeringly high. By allowing air to escape through cracks and inefficient construction, they force your heating and cooling system to continually work harder to keep up. This uses more power as well as increasing wear and tear. Aluminium windows and doors offer excellent thermal qualities, helping you to reduce your energy bills and extend the lifespan of your heating and cooling system.
