The Benefits of Aluminium Windows and Doors

Aesthetically stylish and durable, modern aluminium windows and doors are a functional, robust choice for traditional and contemporary properties alike.

There are many benefits to ponder on when considering the installation of aluminium windows and doors. Gone are the days when aluminium was fabricated with thick, heavy frames that were cold and draughty. Modern technology allows manufacturers to engineer this hardy yet lightweight material into slim, contemporary frames while still retaining superb energy efficiency and thermal retention ratings.

Whatever your taste or budget, there are many benefits to choosing aluminium for your next renovation project.

Aesthetically pleasing

Aluminium windows and doors have had a displeasing reputation in the past for featuring a heavy and brutish appearance. In reality, innovative advancements in the industry mean modern aluminium frames are now manufactured with contemporary design in mind. Engineered with slimmer frames and less hardware that allow more natural light and warmth to flow into your home, aluminium can transform your spaces with bold, minimalist style and clean lines.

Slimmer frames also means aluminium windows can be fabricated with larger panes of glass. This means you will benefit from a panoramic vista of your gardens and other outdoor spaces. Aluminium bifold doors in particular can transform your home with an influx of natural light and visually contemporary aesthetics that fit seamlessly into your property.

Using only the very best in quality materials, aluminium remains a resilient and stylish option for your home. Custom made to fit the aesthetics of your property and your own personal taste, you will also have a number of different colour options and styles to choose from.

Resilient and long-lasting

When maintained correctly, aluminium has a life expectancy of more than 30 years. Investing in this resilient material will save you in the long term. This is because aluminium is more durable in adverse weather conditions than cheaper alternatives.

Easy maintenance

Requiring little maintenance, a quick wipe down with a soft, damp cloth every few months is all that is required to maintain your aluminium windows and doors. We suggest a diluted, mild detergent. Harsh cleaning products and abrasive tools should be avoided.

Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly

Modern aluminium windows and doors have slimmer frames. As a result, you may be questioning how energy efficient those large panes of glass are. At Majestic Designs, all of our windows and doors are engineered with innovative polyamide thermal break technology. Our aluminium range retains heat and insulates your property from the elements. Choosing aluminium means you’ll be saved from the hassle of costly energy bills. You’ll also rest easy knowing your property is consuming less energy.

Aluminium is also non-toxic and can be recycled an infinite number of times. This means the processes of producing and reusing the material is considered sustainable. Lightweight, durable, and physically strong, aluminium is resilient to adverse weather. It’s also highly versatile, making it the perfect material for use in our new windows and doors.

Security

If your older property still has its original steel frames, you may have concerns about strength and security.

Aluminium windows and doors engineered by Majestic Designs come with internal beading and a multi-point locking system. You can rest assured your property will also remain secure from any unwelcome intruders. Aluminium bifold doors are secured to a durable and robust track. They also feature internal beading and multi-point locking mechanisms. This means in order for anyone to break in, they would be unable to lift the door from its frame. In fact, they would have to resort to smashing the glass in order to gain entry. This would obviously make a lot of noise, and alert you and your neighbours.

Aluminium is the ideal choice when refurbishing your property. It provides a low maintenance, durable alternative that proves more cost-effective than replacing your old windows with new steel.
