1. Aluminium windows Plymouth are thermally superior to uPVC frames

Thanks to advances in glazing technology, the aluminium windows of today actively prevent excessive energy loss thanks to their thermally broken frames. This term might sound bad, but thermally broken frames have actually played a pivotal role in their swift transformation into one of the most thermally efficient windows and door frames currently available. Quite simply, the newest aluminium window frames are manufactured with a non-conductive barrier in between the inside and outside of the window. And although uPVC is a good insulator for window frames, aluminium is better because uPVC bars are lined with steel which lowers their thermal performance. Glass is also an excellent insulator; therefore, the combination of thermally broken aluminium window frames, low U-values of 1.5 and ‘A’ rated double or triple glazing provides the winning combination for energy-conscious homeowners across Plymouth and beyond.

2. Aluminium windows are 100% planet friendly

Lightweight and precise, aluminium is well known for its incredible sustainable qualities too. As the third most prominent element in the world, although it takes a lot of energy to produce raw aluminium, impressively it takes up to 95% less energy to recycle it. And, believe it or not, around 75% of all the aluminium that’s ever been produced is still in use in some way to this day; which is a real testament to just how recyclable this marvellous metal is.

3. Aluminium windows offer unyielding stability

Ideal for Plymouth coastal properties, thanks to their rust and corrosion resistant qualities, aluminium windows won’t experience the expansion or contraction issues that uPVC and timber windows can suffer from via temperature fluctuations. Much more low maintenance than many Plymouth homeowners believe, aluminium windows don’t require painting or staining to remain weatherproof and they won’t rot, peel or flake either.
