Korniche shares 7 reasons to choose aluminium for your windows and doors
Korniche shares 7 reasons why aluminium is the preferred choice for homeowners upgrading their existing UPVC systems, thanks to its superior durability and performance.
Upgrading your home is no small feat – both in terms of investment and time – and the materials you choose will lay the foundation for the final outcome. Hence, it's vital to select quality materials that are durable and will stand the test of time.
Korniche, industry-leading providers of roof lanterns and bi-folding doors, understands that there's no such thing as compromise when it comes to building your dream home. That's why they've developed the most advanced aluminium glazing products on the market.
Below, Korniche shares 7 key reasons why you should consider aluminium for your next home renovation project.
1. Aluminium is incredibly durable
Aluminium's superior durability sets it apart in the realm of home materials. Its ability to resist wear and tear, even in high-traffic zones, ensures your aluminium windows and doors will retain their pristine appearance over the years.
Impressively, a well-crafted aluminium window or door can serve a household for up to 50 years, if not more. Furthermore, their robust nature ensures they remain largely unaffected by common urban pollutants like carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
2. It's also extremely weather resistant
In the unpredictable ebb and flow of British weather, where one day might bring sunshine and the next a downpour, it's crucial to select materials that remain unscathed. Aluminium is particularly resilient in this department. Its corrosion-resistant nature means that whether faced with rain, snow, or scorching heat, your windows and doors will remain untarnished and free from rust or warping. This longevity ensures that you won't have to worry about replacing or repairing these parts of your home anytime soon.
3. Aluminium roof lanterns can transform a space
Roof lanterns aren't just a functional addition to your home – they're a design statement in their own right. Korniche aluminium roof lanterns are both sleek and durable, lending a modern touch to new build projects or seamlessly blending with existing properties. These products work wonders in amplifying natural light, transforming gloomy rooms into bright, welcoming spaces.
4. It has great thermal efficiency
In an era where eco-conscious decisions and energy savings are top of mind, the insulating properties of aluminium set it apart. Korniche aluminium windows and doors act as effective barriers against heat loss, thanks to their polyamide inner sections. The dual action of keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer also translates to cheaper energy bills, saving you money and keeping your home at the perfect temperature.
5. Aluminium is perfect for bi-folding doors
There's no doubt that bi-folding doors are the height of modern style. While they serve an obvious practical function, they can also make a bold visual impact as design centrepieces.
The slim profile of aluminium bi-folding doors maximises glass areas, flooding rooms with natural light. Plus, they are highly customisable. Korniche offers an array of finishes and colours to ensure that you find the perfect style to match your décor preferences.
6. Installation is quick and easy
House renovations, while exciting, can be disruptive. The quicker they are completed, the sooner you can return to normalcy. Aluminium, with its lightweight yet sturdy nature, is easier to manoeuvre and install compared to many traditional materials. This efficiency minimises construction time, allowing you to enjoy your newly transformed spaces without prolonged interruptions.
7. Nothing beats the expansive view of flat glass
Modern house design is often epitomised by bright open spaces, natural light and a greater connection to the outdoors. Aluminium flat glass windows perfectly encapsulate this ethos. Without bulky frames or obstructions, they offer an expansive view of the skies above, allowing you to experience the changing canvas of nature throughout the day, be it a starry night or a bright blue sky.
Adding a flat glass roof solution into a single-floor extension is the perfect way to infuse your space with health giving light and create an inviting atmosphere. But beyond the visual appeal of a flat glass design, Korniche standard double or triple glazed panels are remarkably affordable and easy to install.
Your choice of materials can make or break a renovation project, so it's important to invest in quality products to bring your vision to life. Not only do aluminium roof lanterns and bi-folding doors let as much natural light into your living space as possible, they also boast great thermal efficiency and the highest level of home security. Designed from the ground up, every product in the Korniche range has been meticulously engineered to give you the confidence you need to transform your home.
