For a long time, the scope of aluminum window designs has long been significantly expanded, earlier this type of glazing was used only on industrial facilities and for unheated premises. But with the development of technologies, the aluminum profile in the configuration with high-quality glass packages began to ensure decent properties for glazing residential and public buildings.

Distinctive characteristics 
To study the reasons for the popularity of windows from an aluminum profile, it is worth considering their design and characteristics.
Production of products
For the manufacture of profile systems, special aluminum-based alloys are used, it gives additional strength. The alloy may include various components, the monitoring of the components is conducted according to the current norms. For example, the domestic brand differs from European, however the quality level of the material obtained always complies with the regulations. The aluminum window profile is manufactured by hot pressing, the subtleties of the technology are presented in GOST 22233-2001. As a rule, the traditional design is a hollow product, the wall thickness goes to 2mm. Product configuration is different in two cases:
- when swinging systems;
- for sliding structures.
Comparative characteristics and profile benefits 
The aluminum profile has certain features that distinguish it in comparison with wooden or PVC designs. All of them affect its strength, durability and opportunities. These include:
- high rigidity. The strength of this material does not cause doubts, it exceeds plastic and wood 3 and 7 times, respectively. This allows you to glall large areas;
- small weight. Even when creating high designs, the bases are not loaded, the massive products are created;
- alloy strength makes it possible to increase the translucent part of the design without loss of product quality;
- reduced expansion coefficient. Thanks to this property, stability is achieved in operation, that is, the appearance of cracks and deformations is excluded. This increases the warranty period of the coatings used;
- plasticity allows you to perform complex orders on a variety of forms. Non-standard configurations are made by extrusion method, as in the case of PVC profile. Also, this indicator contributes to the rapid repair of the damage arising and the creation of additional protective layers;
- nonbitating, with a low melting point, a long-term maintenance of high temperatures is achieved. This allows you to limit the spread of fire in emergency situations. There is a special brand with increased fire resistance, which retains its characteristics within an hour;
- the resistance to atmospheric phenomena gives practicality and ease of operation;
- aluminum environmental friendliness is no doubt, all products undergo hygienic certification.
The thermal conductivity of the material is distinguished from the disadvantages, with negative temperatures, aluminum freezes. Because of this, the design includes insulating inserts, the polyamide element connects the profile among themselves. Such inserts limit the contact of the metal, respectively form a thermal industry. So it is possible not to be afraid for the thermal insulation characteristics of the frame due to the warm profile. Also marked a fairly high price of aluminum windows, but upon receipt of certain properties, the established value is justified.
Characteristics and advantages of installing an aluminum frame on the balcony are shown in the following video
Design 
The nomenclature of the components of the window frame from aluminum is similar to PVC designs, the standard set of profiles includes.
List of structural elements
- box and sash profile;
- chains;
- imposses;
- connectors;
- extenders;
- strokes.
The mounting of the angular parts of the frame is provided by a mechanical compound, so-called breadcrumbs. These details should pay attention, they can be performed from steel or stainless steel, in the first case, a galvanized coating.
Applied seals
The tightness of the structures is ensured by using seals that differ in the form, quality of the material and the number of contours. For domestic products, the use of rubber tape is characterized, it is well tolerating low temperatures and elastic with sharp drops. The high level of tightness does not always have a beneficial effect on the surrounding environment, then that the receipt of fresh air does not go. Then it is worth taking care of the conducting methods, one of which is the ventilation valve.
Features of glazing
The glazing of aluminum windows can be performed by various materials, ranging from single glasses or double-glazed windows and ending with panels or MDFs. The ability to use a specific material is determined by the profile depth. Thus, warm systems have a profile of a depth of 70mm, then the material is used to 40mm thick. The rest of the space is filled with polymer gaskets. It is important to learn all the features of the proposed design consultant.
High-quality fittings - an important choice
A separate item is distinguished by the choice of accessories for aluminum windows, because it is responsible for many properties of the ordered product.
The fittings device differs from wooden and PVC systems, due to the rigidity of the frame, you can reduce the number of necessary components. This reduces the cost of the whole design, while it is possible to provide a different window opening. The system is not limited to standard swing, folding, suspended and swivel-folding options. There are a medium-turn, sliding method and folding of the sash. Sliding aluminum windows are popular, due to their compactness, they are suitable for glazing the cold rooms of a small area.
Among well-known manufacturers offer proven products from Savio, Roto, Siegenia. At the same time, many manufacturers of window systems independently develop control mechanisms.
Examples of manufacturing and installation companies 
The main condition for the successful selection of window products is a good performer, this applies not only to the manufacturing process, but also installation. Experienced companies offer to look at the options for already installed products - this is an indicator of professional readiness. The customer should carefully treat the contract, it describes the whole process of cooperation and warranty obligations, because the design of aluminum windows should serve about 60 years.
- Good reviews of the company "Vitrix", its activities are aimed at providing the Moscow region with high-quality structures. The company's specialists select suitable windows, perform measurements and installation of ordered products. "Vytrix" has its own production, prices for products are optimal. To provide guaranteed quality, the company works mainly with the components of the German manufacturer.
- The company "SDM Professional" operates in the city of Nizhny Novgorod, has its own range of regular customers at the expense of coordinated and high-quality work. Among the proposed products are highlighted by plastic and aluminum structures, it all depends on the wishes of the client. "SDM Professional" uses only proven materials and components, cooperates with German and Russian suppliers.
- In St. Petersburg, the leading position occupies "SK Alummro", the company operates in the market for more than one year. During this time, experts not only have been made and carried out the installation of aluminum structures, but also engaged in the processing of the customer's raw materials into finished products. For convenience, on the company's website, you can independently calculate the price of aluminum design.
In the market it is not difficult to choose the necessary designs, a free consultation is included in the establishment of the installer. So, if you wish to buy aluminum windows, you should contact proven places. The cost of structures varies depending on the manufacturer, the most expensive products remain from German firms. If you recalculate the cost in m2, the finished frame will cost within 160E / m2.
