Material Selection
Aluminum Alloy: It is a relatively common material on the market at present. It has the advantages of being lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high in strength. It has a long service life and is suitable for various climatic conditions, with a relatively moderate price. Aluminum alloy is the first choice for most customers because this type of material offers good cost performance, is lightweight, and has relatively strong load-bearing capacity. Therefore, aluminum alloy can better bear the weight of glass. Even if the glass is quite heavy, it can still bear its weight well. If you live in an area with harsh weather where acid rain occurs, you can also install aluminum alloy doors and windows. Such doors and windows have good corrosion resistance and can withstand the erosion of acid rain. Once you install these aluminum alloy doors and windows, you don’t need to worry about being corroded by acid rain anymore.
Broken Bridge Aluminum: On the basis of aluminum alloy, a thermal insulation strip is added in the middle of broken bridge aluminum, which can effectively block the transfer of heat and has better thermal insulation performance. It is suitable for regions and families with higher requirements for heat preservation and insulation, but its price is slightly higher than that of ordinary aluminum alloy. The advantage of broken bridge aluminum is its relatively fast heat conduction. The word “broken” in broken bridge aluminum means cutting off the cold and heat. So, in hot summer days, installing such windows can isolate the hot air outside and keep the room in a relatively constant temperature state. If you live in an area where the winter is rather cold, installing broken bridge aluminum can better block extremely cold or extremely hot weather.
Plastic-steel: It has relatively good heat preservation performance and a relatively low price, but its strength is slightly inferior to that of aluminum alloy. Moreover, with the passage of time, problems such as aging and deformation may occur. Plastic-steel has a wide range of uses and can also be used on guardrails. The emergence of plastic-steel is due to the insufficient hardness of PVC. Therefore, plastic-steel is used to assist PVC materials to make them harder and stronger.
