Aluminum Windows






Aluminum replacement windows were introduced into the marketplace in the 1960‘s (prior to vinyl replacement windows) and are still used today. They were really the first material that replacement windows were made of. Though ideal for customized replacement window design, aluminum replacement window frames cause conductive heat loss (i.e., they have low R-values) and produce some amounts of condensation around the window frames. However, thermal breaks made of insulating plastic strips placed between the inside and outside of the frame and sash greatly improve the thermal resistance of aluminum replacement window frames. Aluminum windows can be painted, unlike their vinyl window counterparts. However, the paint job will not be as good as one from a window frame made of wood. Click here to schedule an appointment with an ACI window specialist who can help you in choosing the right type of window for your home.
