How to use aluminum windows to keep warm in winter

In winter, it is prone to be affected by cold waves, and the temperature often drops rapidly. To keep the indoor temperature comfortable, the best solution is to add an aluminum windows to the balcony.

After installing an aluminum window on the balcony, it can achieve warmth in winter and insulation in summer, reduce noise, and minimize the impact of extreme weather on the indoor area, increase safety, and expand the utilization rate of space, bringing a more comfortable and safe enjoyment to the residence. So, how can we seal the balcony to keep it warm during winter? The following four details must be taken into consideration!

1. Frame doors and windows have better sealing performance
When sealing the balcony, it is recommended to choose a system of doors and windows with strong airtightness and a frame. Although frameless ones have an advantage in visual effect and lighting, in the face of cold winds, the insulation performance of frameless ones will still be unsatisfactory. Shenghai aluminum windows achieve the ultimate level of airtightness and water tightness, bringing a more comfortable and safer enjoyment to the residence.

2. Bridged aluminum profiles are more energy-efficient
The material of the window frame directly affects the overall insulation performance of the window. Shenghai aluminum windows’ multi-chamber system windows greatly improve the sound insulation, heat insulation, waterproofing, and windproof performance, reducing heat conduction between inside and outside, being energy-saving and environmentally friendly, and reducing unnecessary electricity consumption. This outstanding insulation and soundproof performance and sound insulation performance are widely used in sealing the balcony.

3. Choose glass according to the floor height
When sealing the balcony, you can select corresponding glass configurations according to the height of different floors. Generally, residents on floors below 10 can choose ordinary double-pane insulating glass, and when the cold air is strong, they should use tempered glass. For residents on floors above 30, priority should be given to using laminated safety glass.

4. Window type affects insulation
One of the key factors affecting the insulation of the sealed balcony is the window design. Sealing the balcony can not only increase the sealing performance of the living space but also expand the frequency of space utilization. When choosing windows, water tightness and airtightness should be the first selection factor. Among many window designs, the sealing performance of the sliding window is relatively good. It is best to choose the inward-opening sliding window for sealing the balcony to avoid the safety hazard of window slumping.

Why can aluminum windows prevent cold?

Bridge-type aluminum profiles structure: The basic structure includes insulation strips and multiple cavities. The insulation strips generally use nylon and glass fibers, which are low thermal conductivity materials and can also reduce some heat conduction. The multiple cavities can block some heat transmission.

Window glass: The glass occupies the majority of the area of the aluminum window, so the cold-proof ability of the glass is also very important. To achieve the cold-proof effect, the glass is generally made of multi-layer insulating glass with some inert gases filled in the middle.

Aluminum window installation

1. Layout lines and positioning
Use large plumb lines along the full height of the building to measure the doors and windows, and mark lines at each floor door and window position.

2. Treatment of window openings
If the window and door openings are offset, not perpendicular, or not square, they need to be chiseled or plastered.

3. Anti-corrosion treatment
The outer surface of the aluminum window frame anti-corrosion treatment can be painted with anti-corrosion paint or covered with plastic film for protection, to avoid direct contact of cement mortar with the aluminum alloy window surface, which may cause chemical reactions and corrosion of the aluminum alloy window.

4. Installation of aluminum windows
According to the drawn positioning lines, install the aluminum window frame, and then temporarily fix it with wooden wedges.

5. Fixation of aluminum window frames
The fixation of aluminum window frames to the wall is generally connected by fixing plates, and the fixing plates are mostly 1.5mm thick galvanized plates, and the length is processed according to the on-site needs.

6. Treatment of gaps between the window and the wall
After the aluminum window is installed and fixed, if there are no requirements, foam glue can be used to fill the gaps, or elastic insulation materials can be layered filled and the outer surface can be left with deep groove for sealing glue embedding.

7. Installation of hardware accessories
Hardware accessories are connected to the window with galvanized screws. The installed hardware accessories should be firm and stable, and be flexible to use.

Selecting aluminum windows suppliers

Choosing a good supplier is the most important thing, as they can solve all the problems you encounter regarding aluminum windows. From a national perspective, China is currently a major supplier of aluminum profiles, so choosing a supplier in China is a wise choice. Shenghai Aluminum is a leading supplier in China, and it is currently a manufacturer with 15 years of experience, capable of providing customized aluminum profile services, customized aluminum window services, customized aluminum door services, etc.
