What is an aluminium sliding window?
An aluminium sliding window is a style of window that can be opened by sliding in a horizontal direction along a track. It also has a frame made of aluminium and features one or more sashes that can be moved horizontally.
Where to place them
- In your home, some of the best places for these windows include the kitchen, laundry, bathroom and bedrooms, where natural light and ventilation are essential.
- Apartment or high-rise buildings: their space-saving design makes them suitable for urban apartments and high-rise buildings.
- A commercial space that has office or retail areas would benefit from these windows due to their modern aesthetic, being suited to space limitations and durability.
All the positives of aluminium sliding windows
What makes this style of window your best choice? Let’s start with the material they are made from. They are constructed using durable aluminium frames, which are known for their strength, lightweight nature and resistance to harsh and varied weather, something we know Melbourne produces well!
You won’t spend forever cleaning these windows as they are a low maintenance option. Give them a quick wipe over on a regular basis and they will stay easy to see through!
What’s better than saving on space? As they have a sliding mechanism, they don’t need the same amount of room as an outward or inward opening window, creating the perfect choice for areas of limited space, such as smaller homes, apartment buildings or commercial spaces.
When they may not work for you
While they have a multitude of benefits, there are some things that make them a little less appealing.
When left open for long periods of time and without thermal breaks or double glazing, they may contribute to heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
Aluminium can also be prone to condensation, especially in colder months. Without proper ventilation or thermal breaks, this can lead to moisture build-up and potential mould growth.
Sliding windows may offer a sleek and modern appearance, which means that they may not suit all architectural styles. If you live in a more traditional or heritage homes, this may not be the window for you.
