If you are building your home or doing a renovation, it is important to know what materials to use in windows and doors, as they are the main elements that protect you from the outside.
For windows, you can use many different materials according to your needs and tastes of decoration. The selection of correct materials will make your home more secure and conserve the optimum temperature for heating and air conditioning use, without losing energy.
When it comes to knowing what window you want to include, there are plenty of decisions to make. It’s not just about the materials that you use, such as the glass and frame. You will have to take into account its size, style and even the place where it needs to be installed. All this will help you know what type of window to have and what kind of blinds or curtains as well.
The materials used will be essential for proper room lighting and adequate heat conservation.
There are a lot of different materials for the manufacture of windows that are adapted to whatever you want in your home. There are three main types used: aluminium windows, wooden windows and PVC windows.
It is very useful in terms of maintaining an appropriate temperature, making it one of the best materials for the construction of your windows. It can be bought in a range of colours to suit individual tastes. It also installs quickly and easily, because of its light weight. Aluminium by square metre is a little more expensive than wood, but the difference is barely noticeable.
This is ideal for those who like a more natural decoration in their home, and can be particularly attractive in a garden setting. They are very decorative and cheaper than aluminium, but the problem with this type of window is that you must be more careful with them, otherwise they suffer damage. As a result, you should varnish them annually. The price of this material per square meter may vary slightly depending on the type of wood.
The king of window materials. Like aluminium, they maintain the appropriate temperature as it’s a great thermal insulator. This means the power savings are considerable. The other bonus of quality insulation is that it keeps outside noises to a minimum. Aesthetically, PVC isn't to everyone’s tastes, so take a good look at all the options first.
