I. Aluminum alloy materials
Performance characteristics
Aluminum alloy materials have good strength. They can withstand a certain amount of wind pressure and are not easy to deform. Their strength mainly comes from the alloy composition of aluminum alloy. For example, adding appropriate amounts of elements such as magnesium and silicon can enhance the strength of the alloy. In high – rise buildings, wind – resistance performance is very important, and aluminum alloy sliding windows can well meet this requirement. Also, aluminum alloy windows are very suitable for installation in high – rise buildings. Because at high altitudes, installing such high – quality windows gives people a strong sense of security.
Aluminum alloy also has relatively good corrosion resistance. This is because a layer of oxide film will naturally form on the surface of the aluminum alloy, which can prevent the aluminum alloy from further corrosion. Moreover, through surface treatment processes such as anodizing and electrophoretic coating, its corrosion resistance can be further enhanced, enabling the windows to be used for a long time under various climatic conditions. During the processing of aluminum alloy, a layer of oxide film forms on the surface, which can prevent the aluminum alloy from coming into contact with the outside air and thus better protect the aluminum alloy doors and windows. Therefore, the service life of aluminum alloy doors and windows is longer than that of ordinary doors and windows, and aluminum alloy doors and windows are a common choice for customers.
The thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy materials is relatively high. However, the design of broken – bridge aluminum alloy can effectively solve this problem now. Broken – bridge aluminum alloy adds a heat – insulating strip in the middle of the aluminum alloy profile, dividing the aluminum alloy into two parts, inside and outside, thus greatly reducing the heat transfer and improving the heat – insulation and heat – preservation performance of the window. Installing aluminum alloy doors and windows, even in winter, you can enjoy a warm and comfortable indoor temperature because of the good heat – insulation and heat – preservation function of these doors and windows.
Application scenarios
It is suitable for various architectural styles and environments. In modern architecture, the simple lines and metallic texture of aluminum alloy sliding windows can blend well with the building’s exterior. At the same time, due to its good weather resistance, it can also perform well in humid and high – salt environments such as coastal areas. Aluminum alloy doors and windows are highly adaptable to different architectural styles in different countries and can be matched with different building exteriors.
II. Plastic – steel materials
Performance characteristics
Plastic – steel materials (mainly PVC – polyvinyl chloride) themselves have excellent heat – preservation performance. Their thermal conductivity is relatively low, which can effectively prevent the heat exchange between the indoor and outdoor, help maintain the stability of the indoor temperature, and reduce energy consumption. For example, in the cold northern regions, plastic – steel sliding windows can reduce the loss of indoor heat and play a good role in heat preservation.
Plastic – steel materials also have good sound – insulation performance. Their multi – chamber structure can effectively absorb and reflect sound, reducing the intrusion of external noise. For buildings near noisy environments such as roads and factories, plastic – steel sliding windows are a good choice.
In terms of price, plastic – steel materials are relatively affordable. Their cost is lower than some high – end aluminum alloy materials, which gives plastic – steel sliding windows a certain price advantage.
Application scenarios
It is mainly applied to residential buildings and general civil buildings with high requirements for heat preservation and sound insulation. Due to its price advantage, it occupies a large share in the mid – to – low – end building market. However, the strength of plastic – steel materials is relatively weaker than that of aluminum alloy. When used in high – rise buildings or buildings with high wind pressure, it may be necessary to strengthen the thickness and structure of the profiles.
III. Broken – bridge aluminum – plastic composite materials
Performance characteristics
This material combines the advantages of aluminum alloy and plastic – steel. Its outer layer is aluminum alloy, which has good strength and corrosion resistance and can withstand large wind pressure and harsh climatic conditions. The inner layer is plastic – steel, which gives play to its heat – preservation and sound – insulation advantages, forming an efficient heat – insulation, heat – preservation and sound – insulation structure.
The appearance of broken – bridge aluminum – plastic composite materials is also relatively beautiful. Through different surface treatment methods such as powder coating and wood – grain transfer printing, it can present various colors and textures to meet the needs of different architectural styles.
Application scenarios
It is widely used in mid – to – high – end residential buildings, commercial buildings, etc. For building projects with high requirements for door and window performance, such as high – end apartments and office buildings, broken – bridge aluminum – plastic composite sliding windows can provide high – quality comprehensive performance in terms of heat preservation, sound insulation, and wind – resistance.
IV. Wood materials
Performance characteristics
Wood materials give people a natural and warm feeling and can add a strong humanistic atmosphere to the building. It has good heat – preservation performance, and wood itself is a good sound – absorbing material, which plays a certain role in creating a quiet and comfortable indoor environment.
High – quality woods, such as mahogany and oak, have high strength and durability. However, ordinary woods are prone to problems such as decay and insect damage, so anti – corrosion and anti – insect treatments are required. At the same time, wood materials need regular maintenance, such as painting, to maintain their appearance and performance.
Application scenarios
It is often used in Chinese – style courtyards. The combination of classical and modern styles is very popular nowadays. The solemn, elegant, and grand feeling of new Chinese – style combined with the clean, tidy, modern, and modern feeling of glass sliding windows can create a space that is both fashionable and elegant, retro and modern. Different styles collide in one indoor space, showing different sparks.
