How To Choose The Best Door And Window Frame Material

Jul 22, 2022

Doors and windows are divided into enclosure members or partition members according to their different positions.There are different design requirements to have functions such as heat preservation, heat insulation, sound insulation, waterproofing, fire prevention, etc. The new requirements are energy saving. The heat loss accounts for about 25% of the total heating heat consumption. The requirement of airtightness of doors and windows is an important part of energy-saving design.     

The following are five common door and window frame materials on the market.         

1. Wooden doors and windows

Aluminum-wood composite doors and windows are outer aluminum and inner wood. The doors and windows achieve the effect of double decoration. The interior is warm, elegant and beautiful (wood color is optional), and the exterior is aluminum alloy with various styles and colors. Choose different colors to adapt to different architectural styles, this kind of doors and windows not only ensure energy saving, environmental protection, beautiful appearance, but also improve the anti-aging ability of the outer surface.

2. Steel doors and windows

Steel doors and windows are durable, high-strength, and also have the characteristics of fire resistance and moisture resistance. However, in order to ensure the strength, steel doors and windows generally sacrifice light transmittance, and the cost performance is not high.

3. Plastic doors and windows

Plastic doors and windows are relatively new door and window materials. Among the types of doors and windows today, the best sealing performance is plastic doors and windows, which have low thermal conductivity, strong thermal insulation, and strong moldability in appearance, which was also very popular.

4. FRP doors and windows

The advantages of glass fiber reinforced plastic doors and windows in terms of light weight, high strength, anti-corrosion, heat preservation, insulation, sound insulation and many other performances are gradually being recognized by people. The doors and windows made of FRP profiles are not only strong, but also have the advantages of heat preservation, energy saving and sound insulation. However, because it is a new type of material, the style is more industrialized, the cost is higher, and it is mostly used in large buildings, so the cost performance is low for most consumers.

5. Broken bridge aluminum doors and windows

 The broken bridge aluminum is made of PVC resin profiles (the thermal insulation is 1250 times higher than that of aluminum profiles) to divide the window into inner and outer windows and then connect them. A new heat-insulating aluminum profile. Using this profile as doors and windows enhances the thermal insulation and sound insulation performance, environmental protection and energy saving.
