What is the lifespan of aluminium windows?
When purchasing your new windows and doors, you naturally pay attention to quality: what should you look for to ensure you can enjoy your choice for years to come?
Choose a material that withstands weather conditions well
Windows can endure a lot: sunlight, rain, hail, extreme heat or cold, etc. It is crucial to consider the material when choosing your windows, as this determines their lifespan. With aluminum windows, you have little to worry about; they have an average lifespan of 50 years. Aluminum profiles have a very high resistance to rusting, cracking, or warping, are particularly colorfast, and have increased scratch resistance. Aliplast even offers a color range with a 25-year paint warranty. Moreover, this paint warranty comes with the "Qualicoat Seaside" quality label. This ensures that your paintwork is extra protected against aggressive environments (exhaust gases, coastal areas, etc.). That's carefree enjoyment!
Aluminum windows from Aliplast are also available in an infinite number of colors. For the finish, you can choose between matte, glossy, or textured paint. Do you want the exterior of your windows to match your facade and the interior to match your interior? This is possible with bicolor windows.
Low maintenance, limited costs
A car lasts longer if you maintain it regularly, and the same goes for windows. So, when purchasing your windows, don't just think about the purchase price, but also the maintenance costs. These can add up significantly. Make sure you make the right choice here: the seemingly cheapest option can end up with a lot of additional maintenance costs later on.
With aluminum windows, you're in good hands: you don't need to paint or varnish them. Depending on the living environment and the surroundings, you clean your aluminum windows and doors two to four times a year: twice a year is sufficient in rural areas, while in the city and at the coast, about four times a year is recommended. For good color retention, you should also treat your aluminum once a year. Aliplast has mild maintenance products available at a dealer near you.
Choosing aluminum also means choosing nature. Aluminum is 100% recyclable. This process can be repeated indefinitely without loss of quality. By recycling aluminum, you also reduce CO₂ emissions. This way, you contribute to a better environment.
