The Ultimate Care Guide: 4 Tips To Maintain Your Aluminium Windows

Globally, climate differences have a profound impact on the choice of doors and windows. Doors and windows need to have specific performance to cope with different climate conditions. So next I will teach how to choose the right doors and windows for climate.


Taking our customer base as an example, many of our customers come from northern Australia, which has a significant tropical climate. The tropical climate is characterized by high temperature, high humidity, heavy rain and strong ultraviolet rays, which puts higher requirements on the performance of doors and windows. Choosing doors and windows suitable for tropical climates can not only improve living comfort, but also extend the service life of doors and windows. In this article, we will use Brisbane as an example to teach you how to choose the right windows.

Moisture-proof and corrosion-resistant

Brisbane is a coastal city, high humidity and high salinity environments pose severe challenges to the durability of door and window materials. Humid air and salt in sea breezes not only accelerate the corrosion of metal materials, but may also cause deformation, fading, and even functional failure of doors and windows. Therefore, choosing materials with strong corrosion resistance is the key to ensuring the long-term stable operation of doors and windows. So I recommended thermal broken aluminium window profile also and upvc profile.


1, Thermal broken aluminium Profile: 


Thermal broken aluminium alloy is a high-performance material. By adding insulation strips to aluminum alloy profiles, it not only improves the thermal insulation performance, but also enhances the corrosion resistance. Its surface has been specially treated to effectively resist the erosion of humid environments and salt, and is suitable for high humidity environments in coastal areas. In addition, the high strength of the thermal broken aluminum alloy can withstand the strong wind impact common in tropical areas, especially in the Caribbean region with many hurricanes, and is an ideal door and window material. However, the average temperature in Brisbane is not very high. The summer is not hot and the winter is very comfortable. So can use another profile alloy I mentioned next - the UPVC.

Thermal Broken
2, UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride): 

UPVC is a non-metallic material with excellent waterproof and anti-aging properties. It will not rust or corrode due to humid environments, and it is stable under the erosion of salt in the sea breeze. UPVC material also has good thermal insulation properties, which can effectively reduce indoor and outdoor heat transfer, and further improve the energy-saving effect of doors and windows. In some specific house construction, such as the upvc passive house from ROPO WINDOWS, UPVC profile doors and windows can even reach a U value below 0.8, which has a significant energy-saving effect.
Heat insulation and sun protection
In tropical climates, strong direct sunlight and high temperatures pose a huge challenge to indoor comfort. Reasonable selection of glass configuration to match window profiles can not only significantly reduce indoor temperature and air conditioning energy consumption, but also protect indoor furniture from UV damage.

Low-E glass (low-emissivity coated glass)

Working principle: ROPO's LowE glass selectively reflects infrared and ultraviolet rays in sunlight while maintaining visible light transmittance by coating a nano-scale metal oxide film on the glass surface. This is also the choice of almost all in areas with strong ultraviolet rays guests among our customers.

Conclusion
Sure, if you don't want to make the choice yourself, you can leave it to ROPO, tell us your needs and ROPO will give you the most suitable solution. As an Australian Aluminium window supplier, ROPO has been dedicated to custom windows and doors solutions more than 16 years. Please believe that ROPO will give you a satisfactory answer.
