1. Differences in manufacturing
The reason why thermally-broken aluminum is called thermally-broken bridge is that the aluminum alloy is broken, and the broken aluminum alloy is connected in the middle with a heat-insulating strip to form a thermally-broken bridge. The thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy is like a bridge, which will transfer the outdoor heat to the indoor. Thermally-broken aluminum fundamentally solves the problem of fast thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy, and greatly improves the thermal insulation and heat-insulating performance of the windows.
2. Difference in installation process
Thermally-insulated aluminum windows need to reserve holes on the ground, wall, etc. before installation; while ordinary aluminum windows do not need to reserve holes and can be installed directly.
The reserved holes are to ensure the accuracy of the installation position and angle of the thermally-insulated aluminum windows, and to avoid problems such as poor sealing and air leakage caused by errors. Although the reserved holes increase the complexity of installation, they can improve the installation accuracy. While ordinary aluminum windows do not need to reserve holes and can be directly installed on the original window frame or wall, which is relatively simple to install.
3. Difference in price
Thermal broken aluminum is more expensive than ordinary aluminum alloy. The price of normal aluminum alloy windows on the market is RMB 200-400/square meter, while the price of thermal broken aluminum is relatively different, ranging from RMB600-2000/square meter. Clients who pursue high-quality doors and windows generally choose Thermal broken aluminum alloy windows.
The reason why the price difference of broken bridge aluminum is so large is that the supplier chooses and matches materials differently.
The wall thickness of the profile normally ranges from 1.2mm to 2.0mm, and the standard wall thickness of the new national standard outdoor window must reach 1.8mm at least.
At present, the quality and price of the thermal broken aluminum windows varies a lot in the market. We suggest that you seek for professional guidance when choosing thermal broken aluminum windows.
