At this time of year, many of us begin to notice how effective our windows are at protecting our homes from the outside world– or how ineffective they are!

Your windows are an important part of the fabric of your house, and their ability to protect your home from the elements is paramount.

Luckily, there is one material that has gained popularity in recent years for offering outstanding durability, thermal efficiency and versatility. If you’ve been seeking a secret weapon to protect you and your home from the elements, aluminium windows might just be what you’ve been looking for!

How can I tell if my windows aren’t working effectively?

There are several telltale signs that your windows aren’t in good shape.

If you’ve been noticing that you struggle to keep your home warm enough in the winter, or find that there are draughts or cold areas in your home, this may indicate that your windows are no longer protecting you from the elements outside. Other indications include leaks, excess condensation and excessive noise from outside.

Although it is important to check for visible damage to your windows (including warping, cracking, peeling or damage to the locks and handles) it’s also important to note that your windows may not always show obvious signs of damage, so you should take action to replace them if you are noticing frequent heat loss and poor thermal performance.

Choosing an energy efficient window material

So once you’ve established that your existing windows aren’t doing their job correctly and need replacing, what should you do about it? How do you go about choosing the right material for your new windows to make sure you don’t end up in the same position again? If you’re looking to improve the energy efficiency of your home by choosing windows with fantastic thermal performance, there is one material for replacement windows that offers a huge range of benefits…

Introducing aluminium: exceptional energy efficiency

Aluminium was once popular in the construction world for commercial buildings, but it has seen a huge boom in popularity in recent years as homeowners discover its excellent thermal properties. Along with offering exceptional energy efficiency, aluminium windows are also extremely weatherproof and resistant to corrosion, making them an excellent option for those looking to protect their home from the elements throughout the seasons.

Comfortable temperatures all year round

Aluminium windows might seem like a surprising choice for those seeking thermal efficiency – after all, aluminium is a conductive metal! While aluminium conducts heat to the edges of the window frame (which means that you would lose heat from your home quicker), modern aluminium windows are manufactured with thermal break technology, which prevents heat transfer towards the edges of the frame.

Because modern aluminium windows do a great job at regulating internal temperatures, they reduce the need for excess heating or cooling. Not only does this make your home a more comfortable place to be, but it will also give you a lower carbon footprint – and lower heating bills!

Durability and resistance to corrosion

Aluminium frames are known for their unparalleled resistance to corrosion. This is particularly advantageous for homes that are frequently exposed to harsh weather.

Aluminium windows are inherently robust, making them resistant to the wear and tear caused by exposure to varying weather conditions. Whether facing intense sunlight, heavy rainfall or strong winds, aluminium stands strong and maintains its structural integrity over time. This makes it an excellent choice for homeowners looking to protect their home from the changeable UK weather!

Are there any drawbacks to energy efficient aluminium windows?

There aren’t many drawbacks to aluminium, as it is an extremely secure, thermally efficient and durable material. The only disadvantage is that aluminium can often be slightly more expensive than uPVC windows or timber windows.

However, when you take into account the potential for savings on your energy bills, aluminium windows can actually be a cost-effective choice in the long run!
