The more you save in the short term

The most efficient short-term

In the energy saving is influenced by many more factors than that usually indicate. There is a trend-focused highlight that choosing a window frame is made of aluminum and is a disadvantage, because it transmits more of the cold or the heat, and that's why choosing a frame that is not a metal will greatly increase the savings. This statement is simply FALSE!

DATA OBTAINED FROM THE STUDY:
Does it save to change the windows “old” with a new one? If

How much?
 In the first place will depend on the area of Spain where we are. In warm areas we will be able to save at least 16%, and in cold areas, at least 19%.

What elements of the window from the savings?

If we're in a hot area, the most important will be:

  • Solar Factor of the glass: 64%
  • Thermal transmittance of the glass: 22%
  • Air infiltration: 13%
  • Transmittance of the frame: 1%

If we are in a cold area, the most important will be:

  • Thermal transmittance of the glass: 62%
  • Air infiltration: 27%
  • Transmittance of the frame: 7%
  • Ratio frame-glass: 4%

 


CONCLUSIONS ENERGY SAVINGS:

Change your window on a aluminum RPT because:

  • You will get an energy saving in the short term almost equal to that obtained with pvc.

  • In the medium and long term, the aluminum ensures that you keep intact their qualities, which prevents warping and may occur, for example, air infiltration, a factor that IF it affects very negatively on energy savings.

 

Saves you more in the long term

The most efficient long-term

Use common sense. What windows we help you save more with the passing of the years?

Obviously the best age and not lose their qualities. What do you think that will keep her best qualities, the windows of pvc, or plastic that you need, for example, a reinforcement to be anchored, or the windows of a resistant metal such as aluminium? It is clear, a window aluminum lasts longer while keeping intact its benefits, in fact, buildings, landmarks such as the Empire State Building in New York city are the clear example of the durability of the aluminum windows.

Best in case of fire

The best in case of fire

The aluminum, by their qualities, it is able to withstand high temperatures in case of fire, which provides increased security for you and your family.

How to behave both materials before the fire?

In our country, according to UNE 23727, the classes are:
M0 (fireproof material)
M1 (combustible material)

Aluminum
PVC
Behavior in fire
M0 - non-combustible
M1 - fuel

Safe from toxic gases

The more safe from toxic gases

According to a study conducted by Gaiker technology center, and whose total content can be viewed at the link located at the end of this explanation, in case of fire, the aluminum does not pull any of these toxic emissions emitted by the pvc:

  • Chlorobenzene
  • Benzene
  • Ethanol
  • Ethylene
  • Formaldehyde
  • Ethane
  • Methane
  • Hydrochloric acid
  • Sulfur dioxide

In our country, according to UNE 23727, the classes are:
M0 (fireproof material)
M1 (combustible material)

The smoke emission is remarkable in the case of pvc (VOF4 =1886)
Aluminum, simply, does not emit fumes (VOF4 = 1)

Duration

The most durable

The duration of the aluminum is simply unquestionable. As an example, the windows of the iconic Empire State Building in New York city have been preserved intact, while maintaining its excellent qualities with the passage of the years.

If you want your windows to last, and to do so in keeping intact their qualities, choose aluminum.

Resistance

The more resistant

Pvc is a plastic, and, therefore, its resistance is very limited. In fact, it needs an interior reinforcement, usually of steel, so as not to bend the pins.

Aluminum is, however, very resistant, which makes it a perfect material for your windows uses very different from other products that accompany us every day: chassis for cars, mobiles, trains, ships, etc

Aluminum very resistant to deformation, Young's Modulus=700.000 kg/cm2
PVC easily deformable Young's Modulus=25,000 kg/cm2

Sustainability

The most sustainable

A product or sustainable material is one that you can maintain over time. While the aluminum comes from bauxite, one of the most abundant elements that exist on our planet, and therefore it is 100% sustainable, pvc comes from the oil, which is not at all sustainable and whose reserves are estimated to run out in a period not exceeding 50 years.

Recyclability

The most recyclable

Aluminium is 100% recyclable infinite number of times, and also keeps intact its properties. It recycles 90%.

On the contrary, the pvc can be recycled an infinite number of times and their qualities do not remain intact, in fact, may not be the manufacture of pvc windows from product 100% recycled, as indicated in european standard pvc profiles, the IN 12608, under which we manufacture these products. This rule expressly rejects the use of any kind of recycled pvc on the outer surface of the profiles. Practically it is not recycled.

Protects best against theft

The most protects against theft

As is logical, an enclosure of aluminum provides greater security, thanks to its hardness and resistance.

Versatility

The most versatile

Another quality which the aluminum is higher than the pvc is in the versatility. The aluminum allows you to do all sorts of ways you can malear to adopt the design sought.

In addition, it offers a wide range of colors for the decoration, using for this purpose both the anodized as the lacquer. In both cases it is advisable to check that they have been made under the seal of quality Qualicoat for the coating and Qualanod for anodizing.

The aluminum has been shown to be better in the aspects that matter most.
Therefore, in Alumet we know how to work it.
