When it comes to choosing windows for your home or commercial property, the decision often comes down to two popular materials: aluminium and timber.
While timber windows have a classic, traditional charm, Alunet aluminium windows offer a modern, high-performance solution that is quickly becoming the preferred choice for discerning homeowners, architects, and developers. At 23 Doors Limited, we believe in offering only the best, and Alunet aluminium windows consistently outperform timber in virtually every category. Here’s why.
1. Durability and Longevity
One of the most compelling reasons to choose Alunet aluminium windows over timber is their superior durability. Timber, although aesthetically pleasing, is susceptible to warping, rotting, and insect damage over time—especially in damp or humid climates. Aluminium, on the other hand, is resistant to the elements. Alunet’s aluminium profiles are powder-coated for extra protection, meaning they won’t fade, corrode, or degrade even after decades of use.
2. Low Maintenance
Timber windows require regular maintenance such as painting, staining, and sealing to keep them looking good and functioning well. This not only adds to long-term costs but also takes up your valuable time. Alunet aluminium windows offer a virtually maintenance-free experience. A simple wipe with a damp cloth is usually all that’s needed to keep them in top condition. For busy homeowners and commercial property managers, this makes aluminium the smarter, stress-free choice.
3. Slim Sightlines and Modern Aesthetic
Aluminium’s strength allows for slimmer frames, providing more glass and less frame compared to timber. Alunet aluminium windows take full advantage of this, offering sleek, contemporary designs that flood your interiors with natural light. This minimalist aesthetic complements modern architecture perfectly, and even in traditional properties, it creates a stunning contrast that enhances kerb appeal.
4. Energy Efficiency
There’s a common misconception that timber windows are always more energy-efficient. However, Alunet aluminium windows are equipped with thermal break technology that significantly improves insulation. By reducing heat transfer through the frame, these windows help maintain a consistent indoor temperature, lowering your energy bills. Many Alunet systems can achieve A+ energy ratings, making them ideal for eco-conscious consumers.
5. Design Flexibility
With timber, you’re limited in terms of colour and finish. Aluminium, and particularly Alunet aluminium windows, offer much greater design flexibility. Choose from a wide array of RAL colours, dual-colour options (different inside and outside colours), and a range of styles from casement to tilt-and-turn. Whether you’re designing a contemporary loft or a heritage home, Alunet has a solution to match.
6. Security You Can Rely On
Security is non-negotiable, and this is another area where aluminium wins hands-down. Alunet aluminium windows feature multi-point locking systems and are inherently strong and resistant to forced entry. Their robust construction meets or exceeds PAS24 security standards, giving you peace of mind that your home is safe and secure.
7. Sustainability
Sustainability is increasingly important in today’s construction and renovation projects. Aluminium is 100% recyclable and retains its properties indefinitely, making it a highly sustainable material. Timber, while renewable, often involves deforestation and may not be harvested responsibly. Alunet’s commitment to sustainability ensures you can make a greener choice without compromising on quality or aesthetics.
