What are Thermal Break Aluminum Doors and Windows?
Aluminum doors and windows are familiar to everyone, but what are Thermal Break Aluminum Doors and Windows? They are an upgraded version of aluminum doors and windows, offering enhanced functionality, including improved thermal and sound insulation. Below is a detailed introduction.
Why Thermal Break Aluminum Doors and Windows Need to Be Thermally Broken?
Aluminum itself has high thermal conductivity, and aluminum profiles occupy a significant area in aluminum doors and windows. Therefore, excessively high or low temperatures can easily have a significant impact on the indoor environment. In summer, the indoor temperature becomes very hot, and in winter, heating dissipates quickly, making it even colder. Therefore, thermal break aluminum doors and windows are designed to reduce heat transfer.
How do Thermal Break Aluminum Doors and Windows work?
To reduce heat transfer within the aluminum frame, insulating materials are added to fill the cavities, such as PA66 nylon thermal break strips, polyurethane, PVC, etc. When heat passes through the aluminum frame, the insulating material significantly reduces heat transfer.
Aluminum frames typically have a complex, multi-cavity structure, allowing air to flow within them. If warm air flows through these cavities, it directly affects the indoor temperature. The thermal break aluminum windows and doors use insulation materials and sealing strips to prevent air convection, thus preventing significant temperature fluctuations and achieving a comfortable indoor environment.
The structure of double-glazed windows is also a major insulation factor, and it also resists ultraviolet radiation. The glass is typically designed with double or more layers, with a cavity between the panes. The principle is similar to that of thermal break aluminum windows and doors, blocking heat convection by isolating air. The surface film of the windows and doors resists ultraviolet radiation, further enhancing insulation performance.
What are the advantages of thermal break aluminum doors and windows?
Resistance to external temperatures.
Because of the design of thermal break aluminum windows and doors, their thermal insulation performance is significantly improved, ensuring that the indoor temperature remains comfortable for the human body, providing a comfortable indoor environment.
Energy Saving
Because of the insulation effect, we don't need to excessively regulate the indoor temperature, reducing the use of heating and air conditioning. Although the price of thermally broken aluminum windows and doors is relatively high, from a long-term perspective, energy savings are significant, and expenses are greatly reduced. The extra material costs associated with thermally broken aluminum windows and doors are negligible.
Sound Insulation
The design of aluminum windows and doors, along with double-glazed windows, not only provides excellent heat insulation but also boasts superior sound insulation. The composite double-glazed glass, multi-chamber door frames, and sealing strips reduce external noise to an extremely low level, allowing people to sleep soundly even in houses next to busy streets.
Strengthened Structure
The multi-chamber structure not only provides heat and sound insulation but also enhances the overall pressure resistance of the windows and doors. They can withstand severe impacts and strong typhoons.
Aesthetics
Aluminum windows and doors offer thousands of surface treatment colors, making them suitable for most application scenarios, including Nordic, minimalist, and industrial styles. A variety of door frame styles are available, such as Bi-fold door, casement door and windows, folding door and windows, and sliding doors and windows.
Corrosion Resistance and Durability
Due to the surface treatment of aluminum window and door profiles, they possess strong corrosion resistance, effectively isolating them from air and moisture to prevent reactions with the aluminum profile's internal structure. A good thermally broken aluminum window or door can last for over thirty years without damage, demonstrating exceptional durability.
Faqs
Compared to ordinary aluminum windows and doors, thermally broken aluminum windows and doors are more expensive due to their internal insulation and reinforced structure, increasing material costs. However, in the long run, thermally broken aluminum windows and doors are more cost-effective than ordinary aluminum windows and doors because they are highly energy-efficient.
They are extremely hard. The multi-cavity structure and reinforcing ribs of thermally broken aluminum windows and doors significantly enhance their compressive strength, even rivaling the hardness of some steel materials, and can withstand typhoons up to category 12.
