In today's world, energy efficiency is a crucial consideration for both homeowners and builders. Aluminum window frame extrusions can be designed with thermal breaks—insulating materials that reduce heat transfer. This feature significantly enhances a building's energy performance by minimizing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. By using energy-efficient aluminum frames, homeowners can lower their heating and cooling costs, thus leading to a more sustainable and economical living environment.
In most instances, the billets are cast in an electric arc furnace with aluminum scraps. They are cut into ideal sizes to match the required profile length.
