How Long will Aluminum Windows Last?
Aluminum windows can have a lifespan of over 30 years. Of course, not all aluminum windows are manufactured the same. Since aluminum is a conductive material, the window frame needs to be thermally broken in order to be energy efficient and to perform under our Canadian conditions. Modern aluminum window use non-conductive materials between the interior and exterior aluminum cladding to help reduce heat transfer & improve energy efficiency. Triple glazing, glass thickness, and the number of window gaskets also play an important role in the window’s durability. Additionally, optional protective coatings, such as anodization, reduce exterior maintenance and prevent rust. Our entire product line offers thermally broken frames, triple glazing, and three gaskets for maximum quality and long-term performance.
