Golden Jash supply professional and honest service.
There is no need to deny it &#; for customers, the right price is one of the most important aspects when acquiring goods. Aluminum windows can be two times more expensive than for example PVC models, you have to find a reliable supplier. Choosing the wrong provider may lead to a variety of problems, ranging from delays to unsatisfactory quality. The second matter is the huge price difference for the same window systems between various fenestration suppliers, as they can fluctuate up to several dozen percent.
debesto works only with credible factories, additionally, we constantly monitor the fenestration market in Poland, thanks to this, you can be sure that by entrusting us with your order, you do not overpay for the purchased goods, and their quality will be at the highest level.
Our company also offers you free project consultations that will help you manage your budget and dispel doubts related to e.g. local construction requirements.
In the beginning, let&#;s establish that the more insulation, the warmer the window is. But it should be remembered, that panes have the greatest impact on the U-Factor, since they occupy the largest area of the window.
*U-Factor &#; parameter of the thermal insulation value of the window
In terms of thermal insulation, aluminum windows can be divided into cold and warm windows.
Cold profiles do not have thermal insulation inside the frames and are dedicated to the internal building only.
On the other side, warm aluminum profiles have thermal spacers that are usually made of polyamide or foam. You can also add additional spacers, which also improves their thermal properties.

The height of the frame and sash assembly is another element that affects the window thermals &#; the lower the fold, the larger the glass area, which is why narrow-frame profiles have been gaining popularity recently.
This trend awakened the rivalry between aluminum fenestration producers that compete in creating systems with the lowest possible folding of the frame with the sash, which also allow as much light as possible to enter the room. Another advantage of the standard profiles with low folding is the slightly lower price of the windows, since the material consumption is lower.
From an aesthetic point of view, you have to remember that the larger the dimensions of the structure with the sash are, the higher the folding height can be &#; this is related to the maximum loads that a given sash and fitting can have. With larger constructions, however, the differences in the height of the assemblies are not that noticeable.
Each window system has its own maximum dimensions and load &#; this is another parameter that determines which system you should choose for your investment, for instance, if you want a 3-meter entrance, without the need to divide the structure into a lower sash and transom, the number of available options becomes significantly lower. But fret not &#; debesto&#;s technical consultants will help you choose solutions that meet your needs.
The strengths and advantages of aluminum windows include, for example,
And what if you do not want to pay more for aluminum windows, but you care about their aesthetic aspects? Even when you have a limited budget, there are now more and more PVC systems on the market that imitate aluminum profiles. One of them is, for example, Gealan Linear.
Based on individual Aluprof window systems, let&#;s analyze the differences between cheap &#;warm&#; profiles, energy-saving models and passive aluminum windows, which are characterized by a low heat transfer coefficient. We will also learn what effect additional thermal insulators actually have on the overall thermals.

There is no doubt that aluminium windows bring a contemporary flair to your home. With their sleek profile, aluminium windows are ideal for creating an aesthetic statement.
However, despite their contemporary appeal, their remarkable versatility means they are equally at home in period and character properties.
Their inherent strength and rigidity allow them to enhance the architectural style of any home.
Here we answer all your questions about aluminium windows.
Aluminium window frames are robust, secure and long lasting.
Their intrinsic strength also means they provide a more slimline alternative to many other types of frames, achieving a sleek, authentic appearance.
Aluminium is certainly more robust than PVCu and therefore should last for longer. Whether aluminium windows look better than PVCu windows is down to personal taste!
Aluminium windows are typically made through a process of extrusion. This involves heating aluminium billets (bars) to a specific temperature, and then forcing the softened metal through a shaped opening called a die.
Through this process, window frames, sashes and mullions can be formed with a variety of cross-sections or &#;profiles&#;.
Yes, aluminium windows can be triple glazed. In particular, this offers increased sound insulation, making them a popular choice for homes in noisy locations.
Trickle vents are a required feature of all new and replacement windows, to ensure adequate natural ventilation for homes and buildings. Therefore, they are installed within aluminium windows.
Trickle vents are positioned at the upper frame of a window to ensure constant, natural ventilation into the room, even when the window is closed. Read more in our guide to ventilation.
Absolutely! Georgian bars can be installed within aluminium windows to achieve a traditional aesthetic whilst strengthening the window unit.
Contemporary Georgian bars do not hold panes of glass as they are set inside the sealed unit, between the layers of glazing. They emulate traditional styling, whist bringing strength and security to your home.
Yes, astragal bars can also be incorporated into aluminium windows adding character to your home&#;s façade.
Whereas Georgian bars are an internal bar within the sealed unit, astragal bars are applied externally on the surface of the glass, as well as internally between panes. This gives the authentic impression of the glass being held by the bars.
Yes, provided you use the correct type of paint. However, we do not recommend painting them as you are unlikely to achieve the same quality of finish as professional powder paint coated aluminium or anodising.
Our aluminium windows are available in any RAL colour, so you will able to find the perfect match for your home.
Powder coating is a method of applying a durable and attractive finish to aluminium window frames. It involves electrostatically spraying dry powder onto the surface, which is then cured under heat to form a protective layer.
Anodizing is an electrochemical process that increases the thickness of the natural oxide layer on the surface of aluminium, creating a durable and corrosion-resistant finish.
Yes. Modern aluminium windows are highly energy efficient.
The insulated frames act as a thermal break, keeping the cold out. Some aluminium windows are designed with a double rebate for additional heat retention and draught elimination. Plus, the slimmer frame means that more of your window is glass, which is an excellent insulator.
Yes, aluminium is highly sustainable as it is infinitely recyclable.
Many manufacturers use recycled aluminium in the production of window frames. This saves energy and resources but also reduces the need for mining and production of new aluminium, which has a significant environmental impact.
How long do aluminium windows last?
We expect aluminium window frames to last at least 25 years, possibly up to 50 years, depending on the weather conditions.
An extra benefit of aluminium is that, when you eventually replace your windows, the frames can be recycled.
Aluminium windows require minimal maintenance.
Regular cleaning and occasional lubrication of moving parts are typically all that&#;s needed to keep them in top condition.
Aluminium windows are very easy to clean.
A mild detergent and water solution with a soft cloth or sponge is all that&#;s needed. You should avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
No, aluminium does not rust, but it can corrode if it is not protected. All our aluminium windows are powder-coated to provide a protective barrier against the elements.
For the ultimate in durability, you can also have the frames anodised. This process increases the surface layer of aluminium oxide; a natural barrier against corrosion.
Energy efficient double or triple glazing is the best way to reduce internal condensation, along with keeping your home warm and well ventilated. Read more in our guide to window condensation.
Yes, many issues with aluminium windows can be repaired, such as replacing seals or hardware. However, extensive damage may require frame replacement.
Absolutely! Despite their modern reputation, aluminium windows complement the character and style of period properties exceptionally well.
Their versatile designs allow for seamless integration that respects the integrity of the building, while providing all the benefits of their strength and energy efficiency.
Crittall windows are a classic example of how modern aluminium windows can emulate classic, period styling.
Possibly, yes. In general, local authorities will require a &#;like for like&#; window replacement for a listed property.
However, if, for example, your original windows were Crittall steel, then your local authority may be happy for you to replace them with a matching design of aluminium frames.
