Modern construction is using more and more glass and concrete. Concrete is a very strong and durable material, and glass is excellent for maximum light transmission. But since the glass needs to be somehow attached, they began to use aluminum profile systems along with metal and plastic systems and wooden structures.
Metal-plastic windows and doors are most often used when glazing private houses and apartments. PVC windows are not expensive, but quite practical, subject to quality installation. But also such designs have several significant disadvantages. For example, one of the disadvantages may be the deformation of the structure. That is the window or door frame over time may change its geometry, thus preventing the window or door from opening or closing easily. Another possible disadvantage is the unpleasant smell and discoloration of the plastic. This disadvantage applies more to cheap plastic windows. In more expensive window and door systems, such deficiencies are rare.
Aluminum profile systems are a relatively new type of glazing. It consists in the fact that instead of pvc profile uses a completely metal profile. Its advantages are immediately visible. This and the strength of construction. When designing windows or doors, it is possible to impose much heavier loads on the aluminum profile than on the pvc profile. Thus making it possible to create huge stained glass structures without unnecessary imposts. Such designs are also called all-glass. Aluminum profile is suitable for glazing facades of all sizes and shapes, allowing architects to use their imagination to the maximum.
