However, a new type of window has appeared in recent years - aluminum-clad wood window . It has been widely praised since its introduction and has the intention to surpass the broken bridge aluminum window.
What kind of window is this? What advantages does it have over broken bridge aluminum windows? Is it suitable for home use? will give you a good talk today.
What are aluminum-clad wood windows
As the name suggests, Hybrid doors and windows made of aluminum alloy wrapped wood are usually composed of wooden windows + aluminum profiles + insulating glass, aluminum on the outside and wood on the inside.
Advantages of aluminum-clad wood windows
If the broken bridge aluminum window is an enhanced version of the traditional aluminum alloy window, then aluminum clad wood window is an upgraded version of the broken bridge aluminum window , which has more features than the broken bridge aluminum window 4 advantages:
① Strong aesthetics
The unique structure of indoor solid wood and outdoor aluminum alloy greatly improves the quality of the windows, which is more beautiful and textured than simple broken bridge aluminum windows.
② Good sound insulation effect
Aluminum-clad wood windows have an extra layer of solid wood material than broken bridge aluminum. The wood itself has sound insulation properties, which virtually enhances the sound insulation effect of the window. High-end aluminum-clad wood windows can isolate 35 decibels of noise. Households facing the street or road are equipped with aluminum-clad wood windows. When the windows are closed, outdoor noise is basically inaudible, giving a strong sense of comfort.
③ Good sealing
In humid weather, water mist is easy to form on the broken bridge aluminum window glass and between the window seams. This is a sign of poor sealing of the window.
Aluminum-clad wood windows are aluminum on the outside and wood on the inside. The sealing of the window is further enhanced. Even if it goes back to the south, fog and water droplets will not easily occur on the surface of the window.
④ Strong sand resistance
Broken bridge aluminum windows have good thermal insulation, but their sand resistance is not as good as aluminum-clad wooden windows.
Aluminum-clad wooden windows are insufficient
In terms of overall performance and usability, aluminum-clad wooden windows are definitely better than broken-bridge aluminum windows, but their only disadvantage is the high cost of . is usually twice as high as a broken bridge aluminum window, and even more so for high-end aluminum-clad wood windows.
Is it suitable for home use
If conditions permit, installing aluminum-clad wooden windows will look better and more durable than broken-bridge aluminum windows; if the decoration budget is insufficient, broken-bridge aluminum windows are still the first choice, as they are more cost-effective.
How to choose aluminum-clad wood windows
① Check whether the diagonal corners of the glass layer and the wood layering
are flat and without bulges, and ensure that the connection is tight. The maximum gap should not exceed 0.5mm.

and it should not be less than 60mm to avoid later wear and deformation.
③ Check the hardware
The quality must be good enough. You can try opening and closing the window to check whether the hardware is strong and easy to use.
