LEADING UK ALUMINIUM WINDOW SUPPLIERS
Aluminium is a good conductor of heat (ie a poor insulator). Aluminium windows need to incorporate a thermal break plastic insert which reduces the amount of heat transmitted to the outside of the building. This helps reduce the risk of condensation forming on the insides of aluminium windows in cold weather. Since the late 1980s, aluminium window frames are usually fitted directly into openings, instead of requiring timber sub-frames. The normal finish for aluminium windows is a white polyester powder coating, which is durable and needs no maintenance other than washing. Other colours are available for aluminium windows.
Technal is a leading supplier of aluminium windows. The FXi52 alumininium casement window can be supplied for side or top hung, opening in or out, and with tilt and turn action. Thermal insulation is provided by a nine mm flush barrier made of polyamide. The FXi52 aluminium windows may also be used as balcony doors.
Duration of Canvey Island, Essex, manufactures a range of aluminium windows, including a heritage design which imitates the appearance of traditional steel windows, including traditional window stays, catches, and handles. However, these windows, being manufactured in aluminium and with double glazing, have the practical advantages of modern windows.
