Aluminum Windows
Architects and builders have long appreciated aluminum windows for their overall strength, lasting value, and ability to configure into large combinations to maximize views. takes aluminum windows a step further by treating them as a design element — not just a low-cost alternative. As a result, our unique aluminum windows are found in projects ranging from entry-level homes and multifamily projects to high-end custom homes and light commercial applications.
Standard Aluminum windows are ideal for mild desert, southwest type climates — and our Thermally Improved Aluminum windows can handle the most extreme weather conditions. Both are ENERGY STAR qualified.
Enhance contemporary home designs with Aluminum Windows. Contemporary style with thermal-break frame design for even higher energy efficiency.
Standard Aluminum Windows Sealed, mechanically-joined corners stay square and true over years of use — keeping your home dry year-round. Clean, narrow sight lines with the strength and stability only aluminum can provide. SunCoat Low-E glass for superior energy savings and protection against fabric fading. A spring action lock that automatically locks when you slide the window shut. Industry-leading Full Lifetime Warranty.
Thermally-Improved Aluminum Windows Additional benefits: Improved thermal rating for even higher energy efficiency. High performance thermal-break frame design. C-30 or higher structural ratings. Ideal for light commercial buildings (schools, restaurants and government).
Modern aluminum windows are attractive, energy-efficient, and reliable. Thermally-broken aluminum window-frame and sash construction is the key to their efficiency, but they possess a number of other advantages which make them the best choice both for new construction, and replacement.
The most important consideration is selecting a good window is thermal efficiency its ability to minimize heat loss from the inside or heat gain from the outside. Today, aluminum windows are manufactured with thermally- broken framing members. These are usually composed of three pieces: an outer extruded frame. The central core acts as a barrier to heat flow from a warm interior to a cold exterior in winter, and vice-versa in summer. This modern construction created highly thermally efficient frames, and enables windows manufactures to take advantage of other important aluminum properties - durability, strength, stability and corrosion resistance for the benefit of consumers.
Aluminum is strong and rigid. Unlike wood (which rots), and vinyl (which becomes brittle at low temperatures, and flexible at high temperatures), aluminum maintains its strength, and rigidity. Moreover, Aluminum's properties will not change over time, a claim that cannot be made by many other materials. This means an aluminum window is strong and long lasting a good long-term investment. It's easier to install, and more resistant to frame deformation caused by climatic changes and building movement.
