We’ve seen a shift towards more sustainable living in recent years, with eco-friendly windows and doors, as people have taken the necessary steps towards preserving our planet for future generations. There are many eco-friendly choices homeowners face in their journey towards sustainable living, and windows can play a pivotal role. At aïr, we believe that aluminium windows are the way forward, but why should you?
Energy efficiency
aïr’s aluminium windows are extremely thermally efficient, with low U-values from 1.0 W/m²K across the MOD window range, as well as polyamide thermal break technology, these eco-friendly windows form a thermal barrier, keeping your home at the optimum temperature, in turn helping lower your energy bills.
Depending on your choice of window, you can expect watertightness up to 600pa and a wind load resistance up to 2400pa, this helps improve the energy efficiency of your home, making you feel warm in winter and cool in summer.
Longevity
Aluminium is a material known for its resistance to rust, rot and distortion, making aluminium windows extremely durable, reducing the need for frequent replacements. This longer lifespan minimises the environmental impact associated with the manufacturing and disposing of window materials. Our aluminium windows also have a durable powder-coated colour finish, stopping fading and loss of sheen, ensuring your aluminium windows have been built to last.
Recyclability
Once aluminium reaches the end of its long lifespan, it can be recycled indefinitely without losing any of its properties. It is the most suitable option as it reduces the carbon footprint linked to aluminium window production, as 5% of the energy required to produce aluminium is consumed when recycling it.
Green building certifications
Choosing eco-friendly windows not only impacts your building, but it can also contribute to achieving green building certifications, such as LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) or BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology). These certifications evaluate the sustainability of a building based on their energy efficiency and the materials used. Aluminium’s recyclability, durability, and energy-saving capabilities make it a favourable option for projects aiming for these environmental standards.
