    Aluminium windows
    • Aluminum Windows
    Aluminum window frames are relatively low in cost,
    lightweight, and corrosion resistant, but because they
    are such efficient conductors of heat, synthetic rubber
    or plastic thermal breaks are required to interrupt the
    flow of heat from the warm to the cool side of the frame.
    Aluminum frames may have anodized, baked enamel, or
    Fluoro polymer resin finishes.For the check of performance of
    aluminum windows, the factors like; minimum provisions for frame
    strength and thickness, corrosion resistance, air infiltration, water
    resistance, and wind load capabilities are to be kept in mind.
