How Sustainable Are Aluminium Windows?

We understand how important sustainability is to a homeowner. That is why we put the eco credentials of our aluminium windows as a priority during the manufacturing process. Our aluminium windows are renowned for their environmental benefits helping make a property more cost efficient and reducing a property’s carbon footprint. Read on to learn more about the sustainability of aluminium windows.    

Invest In Recyclable Aluminium Windows

Aluminium is one of the most sustainable materials on the planet. These windows are 100% recyclable and can be reused indefinitely without losing its performance. When these windows reach the end of its long life, they can reused infinitely. It also takes just 5% of the energy to recycle aluminium as it does raw materials. Aluminium profiles can be repurposed, reducing waste and conserving resources. Many existing aluminium windows available on the market are in fact made from recycled materials, further reducing their environmental impact. Recycling aluminium windows will never affect its quality, making them a highly sustainable investment. Aluminium windows have an exceptionally long lifespan and can last for decades with minimal upkeep. Unlike traditional timber framework, aluminium windows do not rot, distort or warp, making them a more durable investment. This means that you won’t need to regularly replace or treat your window.    

Improved Energy Efficiency

Our aluminium windows are double glazed as standard with the ability to upgrade to triple glazing. The modern glazing paired with the aluminium framework will help improve the energy efficiency of a property. Our range of aluminium installations will reach an outstanding ‘A’ energy rating, helping customers maintain a comfortable space without touching the thermostat. Aluminium is not traditionally known for being an insulating material, but the polyamide thermal breaks will help retain and trap heat. These aluminium window designs will help a space better retain heat, keeping warmth in and the cold out. These contemporary installations will also minimise draughts and leaks, protecting a property. A better insulated property can help homeowners reduce their energy bills as their consumption will be minimised. This will also improve the carbon footprint of a property as less artificial heat and light will be used. Our modern double or triple glazing also has the added benefit of offering homeowners enhanced levels of acoustic insulation. Homeowners can enjoy a peaceful and private space that is undisturbed by noisy neighbours, passersby and noisy traffic.

Aluminium windows have a low environmental impact, even before they are fitted inside a property. From production to installation and then after they end their life, aluminium windows has a smaller carbon footprint than alternative materials on the market. Aluminium production uses less energy than other metals, and the lightweight properties of aluminium means that less fuel is needed for transportation. Additionally, these windows are often fabricated using state of the art sustainable practices, including using recycled aluminium and reducing waste.
