7 ideal qualities of a window: insights by an aluminium windows manufacturer

If you are buying new windows for your home, you will come across different types and styles of windows. With numerous options available, it can be a bit overwhelming to take a final call on the right windows. Understanding the ideal qualities to look for in a window will help you make an informed decision. Here we share with you 7 ideal qualities to look for in a window:

1. Durability: If you don’t wish to spend money on window replacement every few years, do not compromise on the durability of the windows – as strong windows last for decades. When it comes to durability, aluminium windows win hands down as the alloy does not corrode, warp or break easily.

2. Adverse weather: At the time of buying windows, check the local climate conditions. If you live in an area that is prone to cyclones, make sure that your window frames can withstand strong winds of cyclonic range.  Similarly, if you live in an area that receives heavy rainfall, make sure that the windows do not have gaps and cracks that allow water in. High-quality aluminium windows are designed to withstand strong winds and heavy rainfall.

3. Sound:  If you stay near a busy road, you must ask about sound insulation – as it plays an important role in ensuring that your house is a peaceful haven, day and night. Noise is not only annoying during the day but it can also affect the quality of sleep at night. Outdoor noises can lead to fragmented sleep which can affect your mood and energy levels the next day. According to a study, noises, such as air and vehicle traffic, reduce deep sleep and increase light sleep.

4. Dust: For many homeowners in India, dust is a major concern. When you are buying new windows, make sure that the windows have an airtight design that protects dust from entering the home.

5. Safety from burglary: When it comes to windows, safety is an important factor. Hence, it’s important to check whether the windows come with high-quality locks, reliable latches and high- performance glass.

6. Aesthetic appeal: Your new windows should amp up your home’s aesthetic appeal. Choose a frame colour and window style  that match the rest of your home’s interior decor. When rightly chosen, new windows can boost the curb appeal of your property and increase the value of your property.

7. Low on maintenance: When it comes to buying windows, maintenance in the long run is an important factor. For instance, wooden windows look good but they are high maintenance. They require regular cleaning, polishing, painting and varnishing. High-quality aluminium windows are low on maintenance as aluminium doesn’t rust or warp easily.
