The choice of home improvement aluminum-clad wood doors and windows

Mar 24, 2023

Many friends who need home improvement will hear people recommending aluminum-clad wood doors and windows or broken bridge aluminum doors and windows when they are decorating the doors and windows. The problem of how to choose these two kinds of doors and windows sometimes bothers everyone.


The performance characteristics of the two kinds of doors and windows.
1. Aluminum clad wood window
Aluminum-clad wood is a composite made of broken bridge aluminum and wood. The inside of this window frame is covered with solid wood, and the outside is made of aluminum alloy profiles, and then the two are connected together by mechanical connection. This is what we see as aluminum-clad wood. Aluminum-clad wooden windows not only have the mechanical properties of traditional aluminum alloy windows, that is, they are very strong, resistant to wind pressure, and resistant to deformation, but at the same time, because they are filled with wooden structures, the thermal conductivity of wood is very low. Therefore, aluminum-clad wood also plays the role of traditional broken bridge aluminum, and its heat insulation performance is better than that of broken bridge aluminum. Another point is that its sound insulation effect is higher than that of broken bridge aluminum. In fact, from the appearance point of view, aluminum-clad wood is not very different from ordinary aluminum windows with broken bridges. You have to distinguish the other one is wood-clad aluminum, which is to wrap wood on the outside and aluminum alloy profiles on the inside. Overall, the performance of aluminum-clad wood windows is indeed higher than that of broken bridge aluminum.
2. Broken bridge aluminum doors and windows
Broken bridge aluminum window means that its window frame is made of aluminum alloy. In addition, this kind of aluminum alloy window frame is processed by a broken bridge method in the production process. It is called broken bridge in the industry. Bridge aluminum windows. The window frame of the broken bridge aluminum window is divided into two layers, the inner and outer layers, and the damping between the two layers is a kind of rubber. The two layers of window frames are connected into a whole by mechanical connection, and then we see Broken Bridge Aluminum Windows. Since the profile of the window frame of the broken bridge aluminum window is made of aluminum alloy, and then passed the treatment of the broken bridge, this kind of window is called no matter in terms of its structural strength, that is to say, it is resistant to wind pressure, deformation and impact. etc. are all excellent. In addition, because the broken bridge is interrupted, the appearance of the cold and hot bridge of the window is prevented, which is to avoid the occurrence of fog on the window in the future. The broken bridge aluminum window refers to the material of the window frame. If the glass of the window is divided into many kinds according to different layers. The common ones are double glazing, triple glazing, and quadruple glazing. For example, we also take double-layer glass as an example, which is basically 5mm+9A+5mm, or 6mm+9A+6mm, where 5mm or 6mm refers to the thickness of the glass, and 9A refers to the middle filling layer.


Comparison of aluminum-clad wood doors and windows with broken bridge aluminum doors and windows
At point X, let's look at an issue that everyone is more concerned about, that is, the issue of window costs. The cost per square meter of ordinary broken bridge aluminum windows is about 700 yuan, while aluminum-clad wood windows are almost always above 1,000 yuan per square meter. So this price is quite expensive, and it is estimated that few people can afford it. The second point is that they are comparable in appearance. Because their appearance is reflected, they are some characteristics of aluminum alloy, so I personally think that the difference between the two is not very big in terms of appearance, and they are almost of the same grade. The third point is to compare their performance. Aluminum-clad wood windows do have better performance than broken bridge aluminum windows, and the more obvious performance is heat insulation and sound insulation.


How to choose?
It is suggested that according to your own situation, aluminum-clad wood doors and windows are more comprehensive in performance, but the price is also more expensive. If the economy allows, it is recommended that you consider aluminum-clad wood doors and windows. The various performances of broken bridge aluminum doors and windows can also meet everyone's functional needs, and the price is also cheaper. If the decoration budget is not sufficient, using broken bridge aluminum doors and windows is also a more reasonable choice.
