What is Thermally Broken Aluminum Windows？
Thermally broken aluminum windows, a popular type of window, offer many advantages, but there are also some disadvantages. Understanding these advantages and disadvantages is crucial to choosing the right window.
Introduction
|
The word “bridge” in the name “Broken Aluminum” refers to the phenomenon of hot and cold bridges in material science. The word “break” means to disconnect this bridge. Specifically, aluminum alloy, as a metal, has a high thermal conductivity. When the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large, it will transfer heat like a bridge, leading to a decrease in thermal insulation performance. However, by disconnecting the aluminum alloy in the middle and connecting the two parts with hard plastic, the thermal conductivity of the plastic is much lower than that of the metal, making it less likely for heat to pass through the entire material, thus significantly improving the thermal insulation performance. This is the origin of the name “thermally broken aluminum”. |
Question: what are the advantages and disadvantages of this type of window？
Advantages
1. Reducing Heat Conduction
It uses heat-insulating broken-bridge aluminum alloy profiles with low heat conduction coefficients, which can effectively reduce heat conduction.
2. Preventing Condensation
the temperature of the inner surface of the profile with heat-insulating strips is close to the indoor temperature, which reduces the possibility of indoor moisture condensing on the surface of the profile due to oversaturation.
3. Energy Saving
In winter, window frames with insulating strips reduce heat loss through the frame by 1/3. If there is air-conditioning, window frames with heat-insulating strips can reduce power consumption even more in summer.
4. Environment Protection
With thermal insulation systems, it is possible to reduce energy consumption and the environmental radiation generated by air conditioning and heating.
5. Noise Reduction
The hollow glass structure with different thicknesses and the cavity structure of the heat-insulated aluminum profile can effectively reduce the resonance effect of sound waves and stop the sound transmission, reducing the noise by more than 30 dB.
6. Colorful
Different colors of aluminum profiles can be produced so that the heat-insulated aluminum alloy windows produce indoor and outdoor dual-color windows of various colors.
7. Long Service Life
The outer frames and hardware use high-quality aluminum alloy, which has good corrosion resistance and will not be damaged by weather. So the beauty and function of windows can be maintained for a long time.
Disadvantages
1. High Price
Compared with ordinary aluminum alloy windows, broken bridge aluminum profile quality, technology, specifications, and other requirements are very high, so the market price will be much higher.
2. Quality Guarantee
In the course of life, the quality of the materials used must be good to ensure the quality of thermally broken aluminum windows, especially the thermal bar. However, many unscrupulous companies will choose a poor-quality thermal bar to save costs, affecting the performance of thermally broken aluminum windows.
