Why Say ‘No” To ALUMINIUM Frames

To produce just one tonne of aluminium requires as much energy as a family uses in 20 years. Besides, aluminum windows are very light and less desirable for ensuring security of your home. Due to lack of strength, aluminium cannot support very tall windows and doors.

Aluminum is not energy efficient and requires regular maintenance due to anodization. It is also prone to oxidation and is susceptible to corrosion especially if you live near coastal environments.

Why Say ‘No’ To WOODEN Frames

With deforestation happening at an alarming rate, wooden windows and doors pose a threat to the environment.

Wood is an organic and porous material and is hence susceptible to humidity and the elements. Wooden windows and doors are subject to rot or insect infestation if not properly maintained. They are prone to warping that often occurs from moisture and sunlight. Wood also shrinks and expands drastically in response to weather changes. There is also a huge problem in waterproofing wooden windows.

Why say ‘No” to IRON Frames

They also work out to be expensive in the long run and difficult to install when compared to other materials. It gets even worse if you live in coastal areas, iron windows and doors corrode easily.
