One of the "fashionable" factors that advertising proposes to the buyer, when choosing a new window, is the savings that will be obtained by reducing the energy consumption of the home over the years.
The arguments presented here are based on conclusions verified by technical studies carried out by the prestigious accredited laboratory TECNALIA. The information on effective post-consumer recycling is supported by the study by the COCIRCULAR entity, a specialist in the matter.

1. THEY ARE MORE ECOLOGICAL
Aluminum is an ecological material because it is 100% recyclable infinite times, that is, circular and sustainable. On the contrary, practically all of the plastic-pvc used cannot be recovered for use, it cannot be recycled and the so-called "energy recovery" is imposed, which is actually its incineration).
The most optimistic estimates tell us that planet Earth has oil reserves for 50/55 years. We can no longer get oil from waste oil, so there will come a time when plastic-pvc can no longer be obtained.
The question is easily answered:
Aluminum has been effectively recycled for 100 years, PVC After 50 years, they continue to tell us that it is “recyclable”.

2. THEY PROVIDE GREATER BRIGHTNESS TO THE ROOM
Aluminum windows, being made of a non-deformable and resistant material, allow having thinner profiles, and, therefore, designing windows with a narrower frame, which maximizes the glazed area, and the glass can represent 85% of the total surface of the window. All this implies a greater glass space and consequently greater luminosity or light gain in the room where they are placed, a very necessary aspect in interior rooms or with small openings.
3. THEY OFFER MORE AESTHETIC OPTIONS
Aluminum is chosen by the most prestigious architecture studios to find multiple architectural solutions. The reason? It is a material that allows freedom of creation.
4. THEY ARE MORE DURABLE. THEY DO NOT BE DAMAGED BY THE SUN AND WIND
It is very easy to find aluminum windows installed decades ago that maintain their qualities intact.
Seventy years after their installation, the windows of the Empire State Building in New York were reviewed to adapt their glass to modern solar control technologies and adjust their hardware to verify their correct operation. After cleaning, the aluminum remains the same. There is unaltered aluminum on the facades of fantastic buildings that are more than 100 years old.

5. THEY PROVIDE PERFECT INSULATION
THERMAL INSULATION WITHOUT MANIPULATION.
This factor is of great relevance in the choice of a window, but it is also the one that, with the greatest frivolity, is being manipulated to confuse and "deceive" the consumer. In fact, to measure the thermal insulation of a window, exclusively "thermal transmittance" is used, one of the factors that measures the insulating capacity of a construction element.
If we analyze the insulation of a window, taking into account the whole (frame and glass), aluminum with RPT obtains practically the same data as other materials, and, therefore, the difference in energy consumption savings achieved when installing a window with frames of one or another material is insignificant, almost non-existent (see the study "The Influence of the window frame on the energy rating of buildings")
6. THEY DO NOT EMIT SMOKE OR TOXIC GASES IN CASE OF FIRE
Choosing aluminum windows provides great safety in the event of fire. Aluminum windows will resist much higher temperatures and will not release any harmful substances, something that other materials cannot argue. Aluminum does not burn, nor does it emit any type of toxic substance. Its melting point is 660º C, a temperature well above other construction materials.

7. THEY ARE SAFER AGAINST A THEFT ATTEMPT
Another circumstance that may happen in your home is experiencing a robbery attempt. Aluminum is a highly resistant material that does not need reinforcements to ensure its magnificent performance. This resistance allows us to create solutions that make forced intrusions extremely difficult.
8. THE BEST QUALITY/PRICE RATIO
When we consider installing new windows in a home, we must look for windows that not only last a long time, but also keep their properties intact over the years, and in this, aluminum stands out above the rest.
9. THEY HAVE GUARANTEED FINISHES
Guaranteeing the quality of products is a priority for the aluminum sector. For this reason, the sector has 3 quality brands of internationally recognized prestige: Qualicoat for lacquered aluminum, Qualanod for anodized aluminum, and Qualideco for decorative aluminum finishes such as wood effect.
