Aluminum sliding windows: the perfect combination of functionality and practicality

Aluminum sliding windows are an excellent option for glazing offices and apartments, gazebos and country houses. With their help, it is possible to create a harmonious atmosphere in the premises without piling up space. Windows are opened with an element resembling the mechanism of a wardrobe, so such structures are often installed on loggias and balconies.

Pros of aluminum sliding structures

Aluminum sliding structures are installed not only on balconies, but also in the form of a functional partition between different zones in the apartment or office  spaceand.

The advantages of sliding aluminum windows are obvious:

  1. Such structures occupy less space than usual. When you open a standard hinged window, it can be damaged by negligence. The use of aluminum sliding systems eliminates such troubles.
  2. Aluminum sliding windows are easy to open, even in the presence of large sashes. Due to the high functionality of the structures, they can be freely opened even in windy weather, without fear that the sashes will slam and loosen.
  3. Aluminum sliding structures are characterized by high durability – up to 70-80 years. They do not provide for complex care. You just need to regularly clean the surface of the windows from dirt and control the functionality of the fittings.

Of the disadvantages of aluminum sliding windows, it can be noted that they may have insufficient thermal insulation properties. Usually, proven manufacturers exclude such difficulties, since they equip the structures with a high-quality insulation component.

Warm and cold aluminium sliding windows

The design of sliding windows can be warm or cold. With the help of warm windows, it is possible to keep the heat in the rooms even in the cold season.

Cold aluminum windows are made of profile without a heat insulator. Such systems are usually used where you do not need to retain heat. They are made of thinner glass and are equipped with fewer cameras.

Warm sliding aluminum windows are used in rooms for various purposes, including residential. They have excellent thermal insulation properties due to the combination of two profiles into one.

An important advantage of aluminum sliding windows is low weight, so  they can be safely used for glazing the balconies of old buildings.

Advantages of aluminum sliding windows

Sliding aluminum structures are widely used for glazing residential premises and office spaces, balconies and terraces for several reasons:

  • Windows do not carry a large load on the load-bearing walls due to their low weight.
  • High resistance of structures to mechanical stress and the influence of adverse weather factors.
  • In the presence of high-quality fittings, sliding windows move along the frame smoothly, without specific sounds.
  • The ability to order  designs of different shades of color.
  • The presence of technological contours for connecting the flaps, which creates a good obstacle from fogging the glass from water and wind from the outside.
  • High resistance to the influence of fire – aluminum does not burn.

The sizes of aluminum sliding systems vary. The width of the flaps can reach 4 m, and the height is 3.5 m.

Installation of aluminum sliding windows

The design of aluminum sliding windows differs in different variants of systems. Distinguish such types of windows made of aluminum:

  • Sliding structures made of aluminum profile of folding type, which resemble an accordion. Such systems perfectly save space. Their flaps fold comfortably and quickly, like furs at a harmonium.
  • Constructions of lifting-sliding type, which are classified as warm. Heat is retained due to its excellent sealed properties, and all actions are performed by moving the handle and lifting the flaps from the landing rails.
  • Sliding structures made of aluminum, which open and close with the help of automation.
  • Sliding designs that are adjustable by turning the handle to move the flaps. This option of glazing is widely used on loggias and balconies, since when closing the flaps, small gaps may remain, slightly reducing the tightness indicators.

The price of aluminum sliding windows depends on the size, structural features and manufacturer. Warm windows are much more expensive, since a special insulation is used in their manufacture. The more sections, the higher the cost of the product.

The price of aluminum sliding windows can be clarified using an online calculator. To do this, you need to enter the following data:

  • Type of construction (one-, two- or three-leaf).
  • Features of the aluminum profile (warm or cold type). For living rooms, the construction of a warm type is suitable, and for loggias, verandas and balconies – cold.
  • Dimensions of the structure (indicating the width and height).
  • Type of opening of the system (rotary, lifting-sliding or deaf).
  • What works need to be done, including dismantling, installation of windows and window sills, alignment of slopes.

The calculator for the formation of the cost of aluminum sliding systems can be used free of charge and reusable.
