Why Choose Thermally Broken Aluminum Windows for Your Home?

Thermally broken aluminum windows are a modern window design that utilizes thermal break technology. This technology involves inserting a polyamide between the aluminum frames, effectively breaking the thermal bridge. This significantly reduces heat transfer, enhancing both insulation and soundproofing. Thermal break aluminum windows are widely used in various buildings, especially those with high energy efficiency requirements.

Thermally broken aluminum windows are important for all the same reasons that double and triple glazing are. No one wants to waste money having their central heating cranked up high to compensate for leaky windows. Equally, it is important not to waste precious natural resources to create that heat in the first place. It benefits both your wallet and the planet to keep your home as energy efficient as possible.

Boost warmth and insulation

Before thermal break technology was invented, aluminium windows were ineffective at keeping homes warm. Unbroken windows are so inefficient they can render triple and double glazing pointless since as much heat is lost through the frames as is lost through the glass. Modern, thermally broken aluminium windows are far superior, providing insulation comparable to timber or uPVC windows. Windows & More only supply aluminum thermally broken windows to keep your home warm and your bills low.

Sound proofing

Thermal break insulation doesn’t just stop heat transfer through your windows either. It can also dampen the passage of noise, soundproofing the frames. This makes them great for use in high traffic areas, loud buildings, and other places where you want loud noise kept out as well as icy air.

Reduce condensation

Another benefit of thermally broken windows is that they reduce the likelihood of condensation. Condensation happens when warm, moist air meets a cold surface. A cold surface such as an unbroken aluminium frame on an external wall. The moisture that forms can eventually damage the frames, as well as increase damp in a room and rot window sills. With a thermally improved aluminum windows are much warmer, so less condensation is created.

High Strength and Durability

Aluminum alloy material has high strength and corrosion resistance. Thermal break aluminum windows excel in longevity and structural integrity, withstanding harsh weather conditions without deformation or aging.

Aesthetic Appeal and Flexible Design

Thermal break aluminum windows boast a stylish appearance with a variety of colors and styles available. They can be customized to match different architectural styles, meeting diverse customer needs.

ROPO’s thermally broken aluminum profile is with a polyamide bar (Polyamide 66, or Nylon 66) PA66 is applied in the middle of aluminum profiles to break or insulate the heat and cold, The polyamide we use is from the world-famous brand Technoform Bautec™ and ‘Baiyun Yile’. Thermal breaks have decreased aluminum frame U-factors (heat loss rate) from roughly 2.0 to about 1.0 Btu/hr-sq. ft-°F. In hot climates.

ROPO's thermally broken aluminum windows are available a range of different colours to match your home design, with the same tone on the inside and outside. You also can choose a two colour window & door, with different color on the inside and on the exterior.

ROPO's thermally broken aluminum windows include powder coating, PVDF, anodized.

To further enhance the performance of thermal break aluminum windows, you can choose double glazed or triple glazed options:

Double Glazed Windows

These are constructed from a frame and a glazed unit featuring an insulating layer of Argon gas sandwiched between two panes of glass. The primary double glazing benefit is thermal insulation – to retain heat in a room whilst stopping cold air entering from outside to make the room more energy efficient. The deeper the unit, the more insulating the glazed unit is, ROPO double glazed units have a unit depth of 26 mm.

Triple Glazed Windows

These windows have three panes of glass with two spacers filled with air or inert gas. Triple glazing offers superior insulation compared to double glazing, making it ideal for extremely cold climates or areas with high noise levels. It significantly enhances energy efficiency, reduces heating and cooling costs, and provides exceptional soundproofing.

Combination of Glass

We can create specific glass type to meet different needs, including toughened glass, clear glass, tinted glass, laminated glass, low e glass, reflective glass, low-iron glass, one way glass, etc.

Low E Glass: 

Low-e glass is a type of energy efficient glass that can help to reduce energy consumption and bills. It has a special microscopic coating that can reduce thermal transfer and retain heat in the room. In winter, this will retain heat and warmth in the room and in summer, will keep heat out of the room. Read about what is low-e glass and the benefits when used in a window.

Laminated Glass:

Laminated glass has emerged as a top choice for custom windows and doors, offering not only enhanced safety but also superior sound insulation properties. In this article, we'll delve into the benefits of laminated glass in improving safety and reducing noise transmission, making it an ideal choice for residential and commercial applications.

Toughened Glass: 

For safety reasons, glass fitted in 'critical locations' must meet safety standards and requires toughened glass to be installed.

Toughened glass is used wherever additional safety is required, and that includes any area where there is a risk of serious injury should the glass break. Large glass partitions, glass doors, in bathrooms, tables and shelves are just some of the applications for toughened glass.

When selecting thermally broken aluminum windows for your home or building project you will often be required to comply with certain performance values for energy efficiency. That is – you may be asked to select windows and doors with a specific Uw Value or Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient. In order to comply the window system must perform to the set parameters. It’s important to note, that these values are “whole window values”, not glass alone. 

U-VALUE

The U-value is the measure of how much heat is transferred through the window. The lower the U-value the better the insulation properties of the thermal break aluminum windows – the better it is at keeping the heat or cold out. In all cases regardless of climate zone an aluminum thermally broken windows with good insulation properties will help to improve the comfort of your home. To comply with energy reports U values must be Lower than or equal to that specified in the report.

SHGC

Solar Heat Gain Coefficient or SHGC is a measure of how much solar radiation passes through the window. In a cool climate, windows which have a high SHGC allow a greater amount of solar radiation to pass through, offering free solar heating for the home. Glass selection has a considerable effect on the SHGC of a window or door. To comply with energy reports. The SHGC must be within 10% of the set value.
