Aluminum is a multifunctional lightweight material with minimal maintenance costs. It has a long life, is resistant to weather conditions. Aluminum windows are very strong and practically eternal. Aluminum does not corrode from moisture, is not affected by large temperature differences and retains its structure forever. Aluminum enables complex architectural solutions. It is used for rooms with various purposes.

However, on the other hand, aluminum is a good conductor of temperature, which means that to make windows for a home or office, the aluminum profile should be thermally broken. These are plastic inserts (made of polyamide) that divide the profile into two parts, thus distinguishing the interior from the exterior space. The width of the thermal bridge is essential for good results. It is recommended to choose an aluminum profile with a thermal break of at least 16 mm, preferably 20 mm or more.
Traditionally, the joinery is available in white, but the profiles can be powder-coated in practically the entire color range according to the RAL catalog, which naturally increases the price.
Aluminum joinery is used wherever there are increased requirements for strength. Therefore, this material dominates in the construction of winter gardens and suspended facades.
The market also offers aluminum window frames without an interrupted thermal bridge, also known as “cold profile”. Its use in the home is also possible, but it is limited to making interior doors, mainly bathrooms and toilets, interior partition walls and other interior solutions.
It is also applicable for glazing terraces that are not heated. Mounted on an external wall in a heated room with high air humidity, it guarantees the formation of condensation and mold, so this type of use is not desirable.
