Whatever construction or renovation plans you or your customer have: choosing aluminum windows and doors is always a great idea.Aluminum is a strong material and is also much lighter in weight than other types of metal.The building material has endless qualities that can be summarized in 2 words: sustainable beauty.Aluminum can play numerous advantages compared to other materials.In short: aluminum is a material with character.Reynaers Aluminum explains nine advantages of aluminum joinery.
Thanks to the natural protective properties of aluminum, you only need to perform a minimum of maintenance.The material is resistant to UV radiation and moisture.It therefore does not warp when exposed to extreme weather conditions.Aluminum profiles are not subject to rust formation and they never shrink.Due to the smooth and glossy finish, it does not attract dust and sand. 20x20 Aluminium Profile
In addition, the maintenance of aluminum is certainly not labor intensive.It is sufficient to clean the profiles several times a year with lukewarm water and a non-aggressive cleaning agent.
Recycle aluminum?No problem!The material is 100% recyclable and does not lose quality during the recycling process.Moreover, recycling requires a minimum of energy.As a result, aluminum falls under the term 'sustainable building material' and fits perfectly with circular construction.In the future, recycled aluminum will undoubtedly play a larger role in construction.
Reynaers Aluminum profiles insulate against cold, heat and sound.They are thermal and acoustic.In addition, they also meet all legal energy requirements.The material itself hardly insulates.
How come aluminum profiles insulate so well?An aluminum frame has a separate inside and outside.A glass fiber reinforced polyamide connects these two separate parts.The insulator ensures that the conduction is reduced.
If you look at the U-value of aluminum, you will see that this value for aluminum windows is usually between 1.5 to 0.8 W/m²K.You can therefore significantly reduce your EPC value to save energy by choosing aluminum windows.
Aluminum profiles have a robust structure that is naturally burglar-resistant and fireproof.The material offers extreme stability and is resistant to deformation and bending.In addition, Reynaers Aluminum windows and doors meet the requirements of resistance classes RC2 and RC3, which ensures superior burglary protection.
You don't have to worry and you can sleep soundly at night, because aluminum is burglar-proof and fire-proof.
The lifespan of aluminum windows and doors is 40 to 60 years.Aluminum is a material that does not wear out over the years.Reynaers Aluminum ensures an extra long lifespan thanks to the powder coating and/or anodizing layer that is standard on all products.
Owners are increasingly opting for large glass areas.Yet no one wants wide window profiles that obstruct the view and light.Aluminum window profiles are narrow and extremely sturdy.PVC profiles, for example, do not offer these properties.Aluminum windows with a narrow profile come into their own in both commercial buildings and private homes.
Thanks to the versatile character of the material, you can easily apply any desired design to different styles: from ultra sleek and modern to classic or rustic.That is certainly one of the most popular advantages of aluminum profiles.
You see new trends emerging everywhere in the field of window styles, colors and designs.One of these extremely popular snaffles is minimalism.The Reynaers Aluminum profiles also fit perfectly in a rural or classic home.
At Reynaers Aluminum you can opt for aluminum profiles with wide glass thicknesses and acoustic glass.You can also choose from a variety of colors.All RAL colors and numerous finishes are available to suit any architectural style.
Aluminum is known as a lightweight material.It is about 60% lighter than iron due to its low density.Despite its low density and light weight, aluminum is very strong.This means it can support larger glass panes with a smaller frame.
Where steel must be painted and treated to prevent corrosion and rust, aluminum already forms a natural layer of protection when exposed to outside air.The material does not oxidize because aluminum binds with oxygen, creating a sealing oxide layer.This oxide layer forms a shield against attack.
As mentioned above, you can apply an additional, artificial oxide layer.This is also called anodized aluminum.Anodizing ensures that the aluminum profile is even better protected against the elements.
