Why double glazed Aluminium windows and doors are ideal for modern homes
When it comes to creating a modern and stylish living space, the choice of joinery plays a significant role. Among the various options available, aluminium windows with double glazing have emerged as the most popular choice for modern homeowners. Combining durability, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal, these windows offer a range of benefits that make them an ideal fit for contemporary and modern homes.
Eversure offers services for fitting double glazing into your existing aluminium joinery (SureFIT), as well as replacing existing joinery with new, thermally separated aluminium frames (SureFRAME).
In this blog post, we will explore why aluminium windows with double glazing are the perfect choice for modern living.
Preserving or Improving the Aesthetic of Your Home:
When it comes to modern home design, sleek and contemporary aesthetics are often desired. Aluminium windows perfectly align with this design preference, offering a clean and modern look. The slim profiles of aluminium frames provide a minimalist and streamlined appearance that complements various architectural styles. Additionally, new aluminium frames are available in a wide range of finishes and colours, allowing you to customise the windows and doors to match your home's overall design concept. Whether you prefer a bold contrast or a subtle blend, aluminium windows can seamlessly integrate into your modern home’s aesthetic.
Durability – Designed for New Zealand:
We experience all sorts of conditions in New Zealand, from icy cold winters to scorching hot summers, as well as high winds and harsh UV conditions, we get it all. The joinery type best equipped to deal with these conditions is aluminium. Due to its high strength, UV resistance and weather tightness, aluminium joinery has been used in New Zealand for over 50 years and has been proven as the premier option for coping with our unique environment.
Greater Thermal Performance - Warmer in Winter, Cooler in Summer:
With rising energy costs and an increasing focus on sustainability, thermal performance has become a crucial consideration for modern homes. Retrofitting double glazing into your existing joinery, or installing new, thermally separated aluminium frames with double glazing will help your home excel in this area. Double glazing creates an effective thermal barrier that helps to regulate indoor temperatures. In winter, the double glazing traps heat inside, keeping your home warm and cozy. In summer, it reduces the transfer of heat from the outside, helping to maintain a cooler interior. This enhanced thermal performance not only improves comfort but also reduces energy consumption and lowers heating and cooling costs.
Effective Condensation Control:
Condensation can be a common issue in homes, leading to dampness, mould, and potential damage to window frames and surrounding areas. Aluminium joinery with double glazing provides excellent condensation control compared to single glazed joinery. Essentially, the double glazing is providing insulation, keeping the temperature of both the air inside your home and the internal glass pane higher, meaning the air is less likely to cool to the dew point and condense on the glass. With conventional aluminium joinery, you may still see some condensation on the aluminium, however it is worth noting that most of the surface area of a window or door will usually be glass, not aluminium. Installing new, thermally separated aluminium frames introduces insulation into the aluminium as well as the glass, keeping the internal aluminium surfaces warmer, and providing even more protection again condensation! Reducing condensation helps to maintain a healthier and more comfortable living environment, protecting both your home and your family's well-being. You can see more detailed information about condensation in our blog “How can you prevent Condensation in your home this winter”.
