Wind Resistant Thermal Break Aluminium Exterior Sliding Window

Product Description:

A thermal break aluminium sliding window is a type of window designed to improve energy efficiency and thermal performance. It addresses a significant drawback of traditional aluminum windows: aluminum's high thermal conductivity.

What is a Thermal Break? A "thermal break" is a non-metallic, insulating material—often made of a reinforced polyamide (a type of plastic) or polyurethane—that is inserted between the interior and exterior sections of the aluminium frame. This break disrupts the continuous metal pathway, preventing the transfer of heat and cold through the frame. In a sliding window, this thermal break is incorporated into the frame and sashes, ensuring that the entire window system is insulated.

Specifications

Features:

1. Superior Energy Efficiency: By dramatically reducing heat transfer, these windows help maintain a stable indoor temperature, reducing the need for heating in the winter and cooling in the summer. This can lead to significant energy savings and lower utility bills.
2. Reduced Condensation: Traditional aluminum frames can become very cold in the winter, causing condensation to form on the interior surface. This can lead to mold, mildew, and damage to surrounding walls and finishes. A thermal break keeps the interior frame at a temperature closer to the room's ambient temperature, which virtually eliminates condensation.
3. Enhanced Comfort: With a thermally broken frame, you'll experience fewer drafts and cold spots near the windows, making your living or working space more comfortable year-round.
4. Durability and Low Maintenance: Aluminum is a strong, lightweight, and durable material that resists warping, swelling, and corrosion. When combined with a thermal break, the windows are built to last, with a lifespan that can be as long as 40-50 years with proper care. They require minimal upkeep.
5. Aesthetic Versatility: Aluminum's strength allows for slim, modern frames that can support large panes of glass, maximizing natural light and offering unobstructed views. They are available in a wide range of custom finishes and colors to match any architectural style.
6. Noise Reduction: The insulating barrier in the thermal break can also help to dampen sound vibrations, providing better acoustic insulation from outside noise.
