What is the difference between aluminum-clad wood doors and windows and wood-clad aluminum doors and windows?
1. Aluminum-clad wood door and window profiles
Inner wood + outer aluminum, the inner part is solid wood, which occupies a larger section/section; the outer part is an aluminum alloy plate with a wall thickness of 1.4mm. You can understand it like this: Aluminum-clad wood is an outer layer of "aluminum skin" covering the wood inside, aluminum and wood are generally connected and "covered" through a "clip" process.
2. Wood-clad aluminum door and window profiles
Of course, it is still inner wood + outer aluminum, but at this time, the inner wood is just a layer of wood with a thickness of about 15mm, and the outside is "broken bridge aluminum" with PA66 nylon insulation strips. The aluminum and wood are passed through "aluminum" The clips are connected by snapping 'wood' and glue.
The common feature of aluminum-clad wood doors and windows and wood-clad aluminum doors and windows is that they are both pure wood interior and metal exterior, and they both belong to the category of aluminum-wood composite doors and windows! Nowadays, most aluminum-clad wood doors and windows are of the 86 series, which means that the total thickness of the frame is 8.6 cm and the thickness of the wood is 6.8 cm! The wood-clad aluminum doors and windows are of the 70 series. The total thickness of the frame is 7 centimeters, and the wood thickness is only about 1.5 centimeters.
How to choose between aluminum-clad wood doors and windows and wood-clad aluminum doors and windows？
1. Check whether the gap between the profile and the accessories is tight and whether it slides smoothly. Balcony windows with poor quality and design tend to make loud noises when the sash slides and feel unsmooth.
2. See if you are using solid pneumatic steel rivets that are safe. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers use ordinary steel rivets, which will cause the frameless balcony windows to loosen or even fall off over time.
3. Check whether the glass has passed the national 3C compulsory safety certification. Since frameless balcony windows do not have a vertical frame in the middle, they have very high requirements for glass. In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers use ordinary tempered glass, which can reduce the cost per square meter by more than forty or fifty yuan.
4. Check whether the manufacturer's technology is professional and excellent and whether the after-sales service is complete and guaranteed. Frameless balcony windows are very valuable in the design, production, and installation. Like some balconies with staggered heights, it is difficult to handle them properly if the manufacturer’s technology is not up to standard; more importantly, frameless balcony windows are products that require maintenance. , the manufacturer’s after-sales guarantee is particularly important.
5. Look at the manufacturer’s project cases.
