By Gobo outlines 5 reasons why we recommend installing aluminium windows in your Perth home.

When selecting windows for your new house or renovation project, the variety in terms of design and materials available can sometimes be overwhelming. You might also have non-negotiables when it comes to selecting your windows, such as ensuring they are high-quality and strong, while also being cost-effective. At By Gobo, we use aluminium for all our window installations, regardless of design. Keep reading to find out why we recommend installing aluminium windows in Perth.

Affordability

One of the most appealing qualities of aluminium windows is their affordability in the long term. uPVC and other plastic frames are cheaper than aluminium in the short term, however they degrade much more easily and therefore will need to be replaced more frequently. Aluminium is also much more cost-effective and requires less maintenance than wooden options.

Durability

Aluminium is incredibly resilient against weather and corrosion. This ensures a longer life for your windows, as they are less likely to warp over time compared to other materials – aluminium can last for up to 120 years! It also performs well in extreme heat, cold, and humidity, making it an ideal choice for the unpredictable Perth weather.

Easy to Maintain

While some finishes require more care, aluminium windows are generally very easy to maintain. Aluminium windows also do not require painting or sealing, unlike their wooden counterparts. A quick clean every few months is all that is required to keep your windows shiny and looking new.

Suitability

No matter what size or shape you desire for your windows, aluminium can be a suitable choice of material. As aluminium is easily shaped and very strong, it can be used for many kinds of windows such as sliding windows, awning windows, louvre windows, and many more. These window frames are also typically slimmer than other materials, allowing for more glass and therefore more natural light.

Energy Efficiency

Aluminium windows can be easily fitted with energy efficient glass. This helps to reduce heat or cooling loss, meaning you’ll spend less on air conditioning during the cold winter and hot summer months.
