What are the advantages and disadvantages of aluminum clad wood doors and windows

The importance of windows as the “eyes” of houses is self-evident. With the improvement of the quality of life, traditional doors and windows are gradually withdrawing from the market, and aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows with more fashionable appearance and more powerful performance have come into our sight. .

The structure of aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows

Aluminum-clad wood doors and windows are based on solid wood, made of aluminum alloy profiles and wood, and are connected by mechanical methods. The doors and windows are connected by special clips. They have a double decorative effect. They are warm and elegant wood from the interior. The windows are high-end and luxurious aluminum alloy windows when viewed from the outside. Pay attention to distinguish between aluminum-clad wood doors and windows and wood-clad aluminum doors and windows. Aluminum-clad wood doors and windows have more wood, and wood-clad aluminum doors and windows have less wood. In fact, wood-clad aluminum doors and windows are still broken bridge aluminum systems.

Seamless welding

Aluminum-clad wood is a combination of indoor wood and outdoor aluminum connected by nylon connectors. The outer aluminum can be made to be the same color as the community, while avoiding the indoor wood from wind and sun, effectively blocking rain and wind and sand. Here I want to focus on everyone , since you choose aluminum-clad wood doors and windows, you must choose the seamless welding of outer aluminum. Unlike the corners of broken bridge aluminum doors and windows, the joint strength is not enough, so the seamless welding effect of aluminum-clad wood and aluminum will be much better.

Hardware

In aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows, hardware accessories are very important. Because the weight of the one opending window is high, if the hardware is made of domestic or imitated imported hardware, it may cause safety accidents (for example, the fan falls and hurts people), which is reflected the importance of door and window hardware at this time, such as the German Winkhaus hardware, the super load-bearing hinge can lift more than 200 kg, eliminating the risk of doors and windows falling, and it is imported from Germany.

Glass

Aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows are called “N95″ in doors and windows by industry insiders. Because of their outstanding heat insulation and sound insulation, they can isolate external noise pollution more effectively than broken bridge aluminum windows, and have better sound insulation and heat preservation. Part of it depends on its main material is solid wood. The conductivity of wood is lower than that of aluminum, so it has better thermal insulation. Another part depends on the configuration of the glass. It is recommended to configure hollow or double glass for aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows. The hollow tempered double silver low-e is filled with inert gas to keep you away from the disturbances of the outside world.

sealing strip

It is known that the sealing strips of doors and windows are mostly made of EPDM material, and better is the automobile-grade composite sealing strip, and the sealing strips for aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows can also be covered sponge sealing strips. The elasticity and toughness  of sealing strips are very good. It can effectively improve the sealing performance of aluminum-clad wooden windows between the opening and closing of the window, and the aging resistance is among the current materials.

Advantages of aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows:

Energy saving and sound insulation

Aluminum-clad wood doors and windows are made of solid wood and aluminum profiles. Because aluminum profiles are light and strong, and solid wood is a poor conductor of temperature and sound, aluminum-clad wood doors and windows have excellent energy-saving and sound insulation effects.

Strong tightness

Compared with ordinary doors and windows, the process of aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows is more detailed and complicated, and there are more matching parts. The sealing strip of EPDM material is equipped with hardware accessories with multiple locking points to make it extremely tight. Cooperate with the hardware configuration, It can not only ensure stronger sealing performance, but also stronger anti-theft performance, and can also realize the function of multi-angle inward opening and inverted silent ventilation.

Disadvantages of aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows:

High cost and time-consuming

Aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows are composed of solid wood and aluminum profiles. Compared with ordinary plastic-steel structure doors and windows, the cost of the profiles is much higher. In addition to the high quality requirements and the complicated production process, the time and labor costs are very large, so the price of  aluminum-clad wooden windows is much higher than that of ordinary aluminum-plastic windows.

On the whole, the advantages of aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows are definitely far more than the disadvantages, which is why aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows can quickly become popular in the market. Replace with high-end aluminum-clad wooden doors and windows, making opening and closing doors and windows a pleasure, making the home warmer and more welcoming.
