Key Specifications of Aluminium Window Systems
Unlike older cold aluminium frames, modern profiles use advanced engineering to ensure maximum heat retention and acoustic control:
Polyamide Thermal Breaks
Modern aluminium profiles feature a plastic or composite thermal break positioned between the inner and outer aluminium frames. This isolates the cold outer profile from the warm inner profile, preventing condensation and cold transfer.
Slim Profile Sightlines
Because aluminium is structurally strong, it can handle heavy triple-glazed units with very slim frames (sightlines as thin as 50mm). This maximizes glass area and natural daylight entry.
Qualicoat Powder Coating
Aluminium profiles are finished using Qualicoat-certified powder coating. This ensures the color will not fade, chalk, or peel even in harsh coastal marine environments in Ireland and the UK.

Key Facts Checklist for Aluminium Windows
- 1.Slim sightlines of 50mm - 70mm maximize natural light transmission compared to wide uPVC frames.
- 2.Modern polyamide thermal breaks isolate the frames, achieving U-values down to 0.8 W/m²K.
- 3.Qualicoat powder coating guarantees marine-grade protection for coastal properties.
