Benefits of Aluminum Windows

Aluminum windows have long been popular in the United States—and around the world—because of their inexpensive material cost and durability. Although they have given way to vinyl windows as the most popular type of window installed in the United States today, they remain a very popular type of window and with today’s modern window advancements, they are better than ever.

Aluminum windows, unlike wood and vinyl windows, are exceptionally strong and durable. That is not to say that wood and vinyl windows are not durable, but the weight to strength ratio of aluminum windows allows them to have the largest selection of window configurations. In fact, they can be as much as three times the strength of vinyl windows and more than 50 times as strong as wood windows—making them perfect for both residential and commercial applications.

In recent years, aluminum windows have been abandoned by some replacement window shoppers because of the perception that they are less energy-efficient than other types of windows on the market—a valid concern since aluminum conducts heat and cold very efficiently. Today’s modern aluminum windows incorporate thermal breaks, insulated frames, and multiple panes of glass, which have improved their energy efficiency significantly.

Unlike vinyl windows, aluminum windows will never warp, will never rot like wood windows, and, as a non-ferric metal, will not rust. Additionally, today’s anodized or baked-on finishes will not fade or chalk like the paint of the past—meaning your windows will look new for years with minimal maintenance.

Great company that backs their product. We built a new house and Quality Window & Doors was the subcontractor for our Weathershield windows and doors. Wayne and Noe came out to service a broken handle on our 16' Weathershield sliding door. We were technically beyond the warranty period but they repaired the handle for free. They also took the time to go around and adjust our other exterior doors to make sure they were well aligned now that the house had settled a bit. Wayne was a real expert and got all the doors adjusted and working perfectly!

We are thrilled with our new windows and door! Excellent job from estimate to completion! The install team was fantastic and I loved that the lead installer was also present during the initial measurement phase. It took a few months for the windows to arrive so it was really nice to see a familiar face for the install and he knew exactly what to do! Highly recommend!!

QWD is a first rate company. The staff from product selection, estimate, showroom, measurement and installation were professional and highly competent. The installation crew paid attention to detail and went through great lengths to ensure our satisfaction. I love the new windows and I recommend them without reservation.
