The benefits of aluminium windows and doors for business clients

Aluminium windows and doors are an increasingly popular choice in B2B buildings for their combination of strength, flexibility and performance that meets or exceeds current standards. Among manufacturers of durable, high-end aluminium systems, Aluprof offers a particular appeal to the commercial and institutional sectors with its range of tried and tested systems that deliver both technical assurance and visual finesse.

Flexibility and Performance

Due to its inherent strength and lightness, aluminium is capable of forming slender frames that give buildings a desirable minimalist aesthetic. Wider openings maximise daylight, visibility, and transparency - features that are in high demand in contemporary commercial structures. Aluprof's aluminium window systems come in a range of formats: casement, tilt-and-turn, and slimline; but offer durability and performance as standard, ensuring even densely glazed openings exceed both environmental and operational standards in commercial buildings.

For business clients, this means that Aluprof's aluminium windows can be adapted to suit a range of different architectural requirements, from those in need of curtain walling systems, traditional-style facades, or ultra-performance commercial windows in their next commercial or institutional structure. As a result, each building can harness the aesthetic and practical benefits of wide-span windows and slim sightlines, allowing for increases in light and solar performance, while reducing reliance on artificial lighting, heating, and cooling.

Performance and Compliance

In buildings designed for business use, all components must meet the necessary performance requirements to ensure functionality, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Aluminum windows, like those in the Aluprof range, exceed current Aluminium windows are no exception. The installation of windows with a thermal break, a separation between two elements of the structure, reduces heat transfer and improves insulation. It is for this reason that many Aluprof's aluminium systems use the leading thermal break technology in their design to ensure that the product is as energy-efficient as possible, yielding a range of u-values and equivalent system standards. By opting for commercial aluminium windows and doors as part of the overall building design, a reduction of Uw values can benefit the building envelope to meet energy output requirements.

Long-Term Sustainability

One of the benefits of using aluminium for windows and doors in commercial buildings is that it is a robust, durable material. It won't warp, corrode, dislodge, crumple, or crack, even under heavy loads or in challenging weather conditions. This means that the windows or doors in any new or refurbished corporate structure will continue to perform to high standards for years, even decades. This carries a number of practical and financial advantages for property owners or materials specifiers, including reduced repair and maintenance calls from tenants, fewer callouts for irate residents, and, in a new building, a faster return on investment.

Aluminium is also a naturally sustainable material, in part because of its durability and in part because of its easy recyclability. By using high-performance, fully recyclable aluminium in a specific project, architects and specifiers can support their clients in achieving their zero-carbon or circular economy goals.

Security and Acoustic Performance

Many business stakeholders require security and peace of mind in commercial environments. System strength, multi-point locks, improved gasketry, and the right choice of performance glazing can offer unique solutions in terms of physical safety and noise attenuation. It is why aluminium windows and doors are so well used in operating environments such as offices, hospitals, schools and other busy projects.
