What are the advantages and disadvantages of an aluminum door
Nowadays aluminum doors are quite common in modern architecture. Besides the good looks displayed, why do we choose them. What we need to pay attention to before making the decisions,here are some tips for you.
Advantages
Good decorative effect: Aluminum doors can be made into various colors and shapes. The surface has pretty high glossiness, and the proportion of frame to glass is thin. They can be made into large-size, presenting a modern look and being beautiful and elegant, which can add luster to buildings.Aluminum profiles can be processed into large-sized and complex cross-sectional shapes with high dimensional accuracy. The processing technology is simple and it is easy to realize modern production compared to other metal material.
Durable:The oxidized layer of aluminum does not fade or peel off. There is no need for repainting. It is easy to maintain and does not require repair, A durability over 30 years is common.
After good surface treatment, aluminum profiles have good resistance to atmospheric corrosion. They are not afraid of moisture, sunlight, deformation at high temperatures, brittleness at low temperatures, combustion, or aging. They can be used for lightning protection and are suitable for various climatic environments.
Advanced material:It is a light-weight,environmentally-friendly metal. The density of aluminum profiles is 1/3 of that of steel, while the specific strength is high. The aluminum profile used for each square meter of window is about 5 kilograms, while steel needs 10-20 kilograms, and plastic window frames weigh more than 10 kilograms. The use of aluminum doors is convenient for installation and handling.
Waste aluminum materials are easy to recycle and have a high recycling rate. There is no environmental pollution problem in the processing and production process.
Good sealing performance:Some high-quality aluminum alloy doors adopt technologies such as sealing strips, which can effectively improve the air tightness and water tightness of the door, reduce energy consumption, and have good insulation, heat preservation, and sound insulation functions.
Disadvantages
Mdeiocre insulation:The thermal conductivity of metal is higher, and the thermal insulation and heat preservation performance are relatively poor. Especially compared with some high-performance materials such as broken bridge aluminum.Compared with materials such as wooden doors, the sound insulation effect of aluminum alloy doors is usually poor and may not be suitable for places with high sound insulation requirements.
More expensive in price:Although the price of aluminum alloy doors varies depending on factors such as brand, quality, and craftsmanship, generally speaking, compared with some ordinary materials doors, such as plastic steel doors, their prices may be relatively high.
