When decorating a house, the choice of aluminum alloy doors and windows is crucial. It not only affects the aesthetics of the house, but also affects the comfort and safety of living. The following is an introduction on how to choose aluminum alloy doors and windows from five aspects: profiles, glass, hardware, sealing and services.
Check the Aluminum profiles
High-quality aluminum alloy profiles are the basis of the quality of doors and windows. First of all, we should pay attention to the material of the profile. The profiles made of primary aluminum have high strength and good weather resistance. For example, the primary aluminum profiles used by Gileed Industry have undergone strict processing technology and have uniform structure and high purity. From the cross-section, the color is bright, the hardness is strong, the sound is crisp when knocked, and the inner wall texture is delicate and shiny. Secondly, the thickness of the profile also needs to be considered. Different usage scenarios and door and window types have different requirements for profile thickness. Generally, the sliding doors of residential buildings can choose 70 series, and the sliding windows can choose 55 series, 60 series, etc. according to the size of the window hole and the local wind pressure value. In addition, the surface treatment process of the profile is also critical. Common ones include anodizing, electrophoresis, fluorocarbon spraying, etc. Good technology can make the profile have better corrosion resistance, wear resistance and oxidation resistance.
Check the glass
Glass is an important part of aluminum alloy doors and windows, which directly affects the sound insulation, heat insulation, thermal insulation and safety performance of doors and windows. Currently common ones include insulating glass, tempered glass, etc. Insulated glass has good heat insulation and sound insulation effects, and is energy-saving. It can effectively reduce the heat transfer indoors and outdoors, and can also block the incoming noise. Tempered glass has high strength and will form small particles after being broken, making it less likely to hurt people. , high safety, suitable for use in areas with higher safety requirements, such as balconies, floor-to-ceiling windows, etc.
Check the hardwares
Hardware accessories are the “heart” of aluminum alloy doors and windows, and are directly related to the service life and user experience of doors and windows. High-quality hardware should have good corrosion resistance, rigidity and strength. When choosing, pay attention to the material of the hardware. For example, the handle can be made of aluminum alloy or copper, and the lock should be a double-sided safety lock. At the same time, the surface of the hardware should be smooth, without burrs or scratches, and the coating should be uniform. In addition, the appropriate hardware configuration should be selected according to the specifications and weight of the doors and windows to ensure the normal opening and closing of the doors and windows, as well as good wind pressure resistance.
Check the sealing performance
Good sealing performance is one of the key indicators of aluminum alloy doors and windows. It can effectively prevent the intrusion of wind, sand and rain, as well as the leakage of indoor and outdoor air, thereby improving the insulation and sound insulation of doors and windows. The sealing of doors and windows mainly depends on sealing strips and sealants. The sealing strips should have good elasticity, weather resistance and wear resistance. After installation, they should fit the door and window frames and glass tightly without obvious gaps. The sealant should be of good quality, strong viscosity and aging resistance. The sealant should be applied evenly and fully to ensure the sealing effect.
Judge the service of the supplier
In addition to the quality of the product itself, after-sales service is also an important factor to consider when choosing aluminum alloy doors and windows. Gileed Industry has established a good reputation in the industry for its high-quality services. It will provide professional consultation and design suggestions before sales, and recommend suitable door and window products and solutions to customers based on customer needs and house characteristics.
