Why Should You Use Fixed Aluminium Windows on Your Property?

Have you ever wondered what the value of a fixed aluminium window is? You’re not alone! Many of our business and residential clients don’t understand the purpose of a window that cannot open beyond being purely ornamental. A large portion of the confusion surrounding the usefulness of a fixed aluminium window stems from clients not connecting the problems they experience in their residential and commercial properties with the qualities of a fixed aluminium window.

In this article, we won’t just connect problems experienced in properties with solutions offered by fixed aluminium windows, but we’ll also present valuable features that this configuration offers.

4 reasons why fixed aluminium windows can be useful for your property

1. Framing a view

   If you’re lucky enough to have your property located on a piece of land with a beautiful view, then you’d certainly want to take advantage of it by installing a window. Ensure that you install it in a room and at an angle that allows you to fully appreciate the view.

   Many times, a large window is needed to fully frame the view. Regardless of if it’s on the first or second storey, a large window that opens is a security risk. A fixed aluminium window will provide you with a window that’s perfect for framing your view and that does not create a risk to your home or business.

2. Allowing natural light in difficult areas

   Many times, small rooms such as bathrooms, storage and laundry rooms, don’t have enough space to facilitate a window that opens. Hallways and dining rooms often don’t require ventilation especially since an open window can ruin the aesthetic of the area and interrupt the flow of movement.

   In these scenarios, a fixed aluminium window would be effective because it facilitates the passage of natural light in rooms and areas that don’t need ventilation but that would benefit from illumination. With a stream of natural light, your property can benefit from energy efficiency, and make the space appear larger.

3. Providing safety

   If a child or pet has easy access to a room with a wide-open window such as an aluminium sliding window, safety may become an issue. A child or pet can accidentally jump or fall out of the window. This is often a concern in nurseries and kids’ rooms; it also becomes an issue with windows that are located at an extremely low level (pets and children can reach it).

   While you can keep your window closed at all times and just enjoy the natural light, a fixed aluminium window is a better alternative to a window that opens. A fixed window is generally more cost-effective than other options because it cannot open. We recommend purchasing this option if you intend on not opening your window for security reasons as it is a more affordable option.

4. Cost-effective option for bay windows

   Bay windows are a beautiful addition to any home. In addition to offering an excellent view of the outdoors, the aesthetic it provides is timeless and elegant. Bay windows are a premium feature and often come at a hefty price tag because of the number of windows needed to create the design.

   We recommend using fixed aluminium windows combined with awning windows to reduce the cost of the bay windows and to increase the security of your home.
