How to make aluminum windows last longer
Careful maintenance is required to make aluminum windows last longer, otherwise it may produce undesirable change and affect its service life. In this article, you can learn how to take good care of your aluminum windows.
What are the quality requirements for Aluminum Windows?
There are three ways to heat the heat loss of the windows and doors outside the building:
- dissipate heat through aluminum window profiles;
- loss of heat through the glass;
- air convection heat loss through the doors and windows.
Therefore, the production of energy-saving Aluminum Windows have to consider from these three aspects.
- Insulating glass is required for glass insulation windows. Because the cavities of the hollow glass are filled with dry and still air, the thermal conductivity is greatly reduced. Therefore, the insulating glass has excellent heat insulation, sound insulation, anti-frost and condensation performance. The thickness of commonly used hollow glass is 5-6mm, and the commonly used cavity thickness is 9mm and 12mm.
- The sealing material of the sealant for thermal break aluminum windows insulation should be weathering adhesive, the sealing tape should be made of neoprene products with excellent ozone corrosion resistance and UV aging resistance, and the number of sealing strips in the overlapped part of the door and window sash opening should be more than three.
- Aluminum window profiles Aluminum window materials are good conductors of heat, and most of them have relatively high thermal conductivity. To make heat-insulating glass, it is necessary to conduct heat-insulating bridging treatment on the profile, that is, to cut off the heat conduction path to achieve the purpose of heat insulation.
Aluminum Windows amount of anti-corrosion measures:
● Sound insulation moisture, non-corrosive material should be used for the aluminum windows frame and the wall of the gap . The Aluminum Windows construction process to be waterproof, moisture measures.● The protective tape should be preserved during the installation of the aluminum windows.
● Be sure to do the anti-corrosion treatment in the construction process of the wall openings and the aluminum windows profilles, while the wall construction mortar as far as possible not to use the sea sand. It’s a feasible method to play preservative effect with general anti-bump and waterproof measures.
● The construction of Aluminum Windows need to be cleaned when the profile, tear off the protective film, remove the wall construction in the profile of cement and lime mortar. Clean the dirt generally use a neutral detergent cleaning, can also use the fiber brush to remove the attached dust, shall not use sandpaper, steel ball brush for grinding.
How to maintain Aluminum Windows?
The aluminum windows of household need careful maintenance otherwise it may produce undesirable change and affect its service life.
1.If you need to push the aluminum windows, you should move it gently and push pull the nature. If you find it hard to push, you should check what makes this situation and troubleshoot. Use long, friction force increase, can add a little oil or coat a layer of fire wax. Normally, the reason for the difficulty of aluminum folding window push-pull is ash and deformation. It’s necesssary for you to clean the push trough with a vacuum cleaner and keep the door frame clean.
2.Check the wall of aluminum alloy frames frequently. If it is loose, the frame will be completely deformed, so that the doors and Windows cannot be closed and sealed. Therefore, the screw loose in the connection should be immediately fastened, such as the screw base loose, the application of epoxy strong glue to set up a small amount of cement.
3.Do not step on the aluminum frame or hold the frame for support when you clean the aluminum windows, otherwises it may lead to deformation.
4. Always check the connection parts of the aluminum alloy frame, tighten the bolts in time and replace the damaged parts. Locate shaft pin, wind support, ground spring and other aluminium window vulnerable position, should check regularly, add lubricants regularly to keep clean, flexible.
5. If you need to clean the aluminum windows, you can use soft cloth with water or some neutral detergent. However, washing powder and soap can’t be used.
6. Dry the wet glass and the window frame after the rain and pey special attention to the water.
7. The vital structure to ensure the sealing and insulation of doors and windows are the seal and glass seal. If any damage occur, you should repair or replace it in time.
Thermal Insulation Effect of Aluminum Windows
Summer is hot, high temperature from door and window to spread indoor, even if drive air conditioning, also can produce high electric charge because of heat. The below types of high quality thermal break aluminum windows can make good thermal insulation effect:1. Louver window
The heat insulating glass produced by the sunlight comes down only to reduce, not eliminate. Customers with high requirements can choose aluminum sliding louvers or aluminum folding louvers to block the sunlight.2. Bridge window
A noun is broken bridge aluminum alloy industry, because aluminum alloy material itself is easy to heat, so someone disconnects the plastic connection from the aluminum alloy, which becomes the broken bridge aluminum alloy.Since there is no direct contact between the inside and outside of the aluminum alloy, heat cannot be transferred, and the interior will not become hot due to this.3.Use sealed strip
It can help you to solve seepage when it rains and it has good thermal insulation performance. The sealing strips around the windows can block the flow of outdoor air and allow the heat to penetrate.4.Double layer insulating glass
Double-layer insulating glass We know that insulating glass can insulate noise and heat. Because there is a vacuum between the two pieces of glass, there is no contact, and the heat is naturally blocked.
Conclusion
Whether you are looking for standard sized windows or custom size sliding windows, our aluminium windows cater to all of your property needs. Unlike UPVC windows, aluminium windows do not deteriorate over time and will not be degraded by rust and corrosion. This makes them the ideal choice for those living in areas of high humidity and coastal regions. The slimline design of aluminium windows create a more aesthetically pleasing finish without any bulkiness.
