It is worth mentioning that aluminium window joinery has not always been so popular. Until recently, it was regarded as cold joinery, and there was a lot of truth in that. Therefore, whilst aluminium was used in warehouses, offices and shops, it was not used in single-family homes. Nowadays, the situation is quite different – of course, aluminium does not feel as ‘warm’ as wood and, when the frame comes into contact with a warm hand, it will feel cooler than, say, pine. This is all due to the fact that aluminium does not have as much ability to absorb heat. However, we should add that in reality its temperature will often be the same as that of the aforementioned wood.
To address this issue, homeowners can opt for aluminum windows with thermal breaks or install double or triple-pane glass to improve insulation. Additionally, adding curtains or blinds to aluminum windows can help to reduce heat transfer and improve energy efficiency.
When we’re designing a custom iron fence or railing, we offer customers the option to add decorative elements made from cast iron to an otherwise wrought iron structure. Those pieces are then welded onto the pickets of the railing. This process can save on costs, since producing intricate decorative designs in wrought iron through hand forging can get expensive.

What is Aluminium Window Profile?
It is commonly referred to as Boric-Sulfuric Acid Anodizing (BSAA), often considered a better alternative to chromic acid anodize. This anodizing offers better environmental, health, and safety concerns than Type I chromic-acid anodize.
Louvre windows
Louvre windows consist of multiple horizontal blades that are angled to allow for ventilation while keeping out rain and other elements. They are often used in commercial buildings, schools, and hospitals, where a high level of ventilation is required.
Aluminium louvre windows are popular because they are durable and offer good insulation. They are also easy to maintain and come in a range of colors and finishes.
