Aluminium Casement Windows

1. Aluminium Frame

The aluminium frame serves as the core structural foundation of the casement window, ensuring long-lasting durability and stability. Its key attributes include:

• Common Specifications:

  • Width Range: 500mm ~ 1500mm
  • Height Range: 500mm ~ 2000mm
  • Aluminium Frame Thickness: 1.4mm ~ 2.0mm

• Material:
  The frame is primarily constructed from 6063-T5 or 6060-T5 aluminium alloy, which are celebrated for their exceptional mechanical properties, combining lightweight features with high strength. For specific project requirements, higher-grade or reinforced aluminium alloys may be employed to address challenges such as harsher environmental conditions or additional structural demands.

• Design:
  The frame features a slim and streamlined profile, maximizing the glass area to offer an unobstructed view while maintaining a sleek, modern aesthetic. Despite the narrow design, the frame retains robust stability and offers design flexibility for diverse architectural needs.

• Surface Treatment:
  To enhance both functionality and aesthetics, various surface treatments are applied:

  • Anodizing: Provides a natural metallic finish with strong resistance to scratches and wear, perfect for achieving a modern and durable look.
  • Powder Coating: Offers a broad range of color and texture options, improving corrosion resistance and ensuring longevity.
  • Electrophoretic Coating: Enhances resistance to oxidation and UV radiation, ensuring a premium appearance, particularly for high-end projects.
  • Wood Grain Transfer: Achieves a realistic wood-like texture, ideal for traditional or rustic architectural designs.

2. Glass Pane

The glass pane is a critical component that directly impacts the window’s thermal insulation, soundproofing, and overall energy efficiency. Key options include:

• Single Glass: Cost-effective and widely used for basic window requirements, with a thickness range of 5mm ~ 6mm.
• Insulated Glass: Double-glazed panels, such as 5+12A+5mm or 6+16A+6mm, provide superior thermal insulation and noise reduction for enhanced indoor comfort.
• Laminated Glass: Glass panels bonded with an interlayer like 5+0.76PVB+5mmoffer improved safety by reducing the risk of shattering and provide excellent soundproofing capabilities.
• Special Glass: Options such as low-emissivity (Low-E) glass enhance energy efficiency, reduce heat transfer, and block harmful UV rays.

3. Sealing System

The sealing system ensures excellent water tightness, air tightness, and thermal insulation in aluminium casement windows.

• Sealing Strips: Made from durable rubber or silicone, these strips form a multi-layer seal between the sash and the frame, effectively blocking air, water, and dust infiltration.
• Thermal Break: A polyamide thermal bridge is incorporated to significantly reduce heat transfer across the frame, enhancing energy efficiency and indoor temperature regulation.

4. Hardware Components

High-quality hardware elements support the operability, safety, and longevity of the casement window.

• Hinges: Durable and corrosion-resistant hinges ensure smooth and stable opening and closing of the sash.
• Handle: Ergonomic handles are easy to operate and often include locking mechanisms to enhance security.
• Locking Mechanism: Multi-point locking systems secure the sash tightly to the frame, providing additional safety and preventing unauthorized access.
• Fasteners and Screws: Manufactured from rust-proof materials, they securely anchor all mechanical components, ensuring long-term reliability.

5. Drainage System

The drainage system is a crucial design feature for maintaining water resistance in aluminium casement windows.

• Concealed Drainage: Integrated into the frame design, these hidden drainage paths allow rainwater to flow out efficiently, preventing accumulated water from seeping into the interior and enhancing the window’s weatherproofing capabilities.
