- Easy (weight of material) with the highest rates of strength,
- Excellent heat transfer rates up to Uw = 0.86 W / m² K,
- Beauty and the exact geometric dimensions of all surfaces,
- Excellent fire resistance,
- Superior insulation rates
- And a good ability of the material to yield to high-class processing, to achieve amazing quality of the final product.
Aluminum Windows
