There are different benefits for every type of glazing system out there, so when choosing what’s right for your construction project, you have a lot to consider.

Whether you’re trying to decide on what materials to use for your windows, doors, facades or any other glazing element for your project, you can’t rush this decision.

The good news is, we can help to make your choice just that little bit easier.

In this article, we’re going to share the seven benefits of choosing an aluminium glazing system for your property, so you can get the most from your property for the best price. These benefits include:

1. Strength and durability

Arguably the most important thing you need to take into consideration when choosing a glazing system is durability. Otherwise, you’ll end up having to replace these elements far too regularly, which can become costly and inconvenient.

A good aluminium system can last for over 30 years because this metal is very resistant to the outside elements and simply will not swell, crack, warp or rot as other materials might.

Not only this, but it has an impressive strength-to-weight ratio which makes it harder to dent or damage, adding to its durability and longevity.

2. Affordability

Another huge benefit of choosing aluminium glazing systems is that these can be significantly cheaper than some of the other frames.

Plus, because this material requires less maintenance, it works out more affordable to care for in the long run when compared with other glazing systems.

3. Maintenance and cleaning

As we’ve just said, these glazing systems require less maintenance than other options, and even when they do need a little TLC, they are much quicker and easier to care for. That being said, it’s worth noting that there are different finishes available which can impact how and when you look after your aluminium systems.

But in most cases, a good clean every couple of months is enough to keep these systems shiny, clean and long-lasting.

4. Thermal efficiency

Energy efficiency is on everyone’s mind right now as energy prices continue to soar. So no matter what you use your property for, whether you live, work, rent or just hang out there, you want it to be as thermally efficient as possible to cut down on costs.

Aluminium glazing solutions can not only improve heat gain and heat loss, but they are also more efficient than other more expensive options like Timber and uPVC.

What’s more, depending on the brand of aluminium glazing you choose, many of the windows and panels will exceed British energy standards, allowing allow your property to sit comfortably within Government regulations.

5. Eco-friendliness

The aforementioned increase in energy efficiency is, of course, better for the planet, making your property more environmentally friendly.

But it doesn’t stop there. As it’s long-lasting, you produce less waste naturally, and aluminium is a sustainable product as it is non-toxic and can be recycled.

But it just keeps getting better because it only takes 5% of the energy required to make an average aluminium window to recycle it, which means it really is the greener option.

All of this added together, can help to drastically reduce the ecological footprint of your property now and in the future.

6. Security

As we said earlier in this guide, aluminium is strong and durable. This means that it can offer a much higher level of protection and security than many older properties or other glazing solutions.

This is something else that is very high on the list when you’re considering building or renovating a property, as security needs to be one of your key priorities for keeping the inhabitants and contents safe.

Using or replacing older steel or timber frames with aluminium allows you to strengthen your security without compromising on style, design options or thermal insulation.

7. Design options

Finally, because of the way in which aluminium glazing systems are manufactured, these can be created to be unique and meet precise design specifications.

The result of this is that they can be customised to give you lots of different design options and finishes, so you can choose the perfect colour, style and overall look for your property without additional costs, stress or compromise.
