We all have heard that “eyes are the windows to the soul” but what we often forget to consider is that windows are to a house what eyes are to a person. It is indeed time that windows get their due attention. People today are paying more and more attention to the doors and windows to enhance the look of their homes and offices. Feng shui experts say that aluminium is one of the best materials for windows because it doesn’t emit harmful radiation like other types of metal do.
Custom windows that match the vibe and personality of a place are generally handpicked. Aluminium is one of the most in-trend materials used for windows. You might have seen quite some in Sydney and even Melbourne itself. There are so many reasons to choose custom aluminium windows that you might actually be surprised but the real question is, in what ways can you customise aluminium windows so as to suit your home/ business.
Window Size
There are two general sizes of windows that can be bought from window suppliers. These two sizes are double hinged or single hinged. Double hinged windows should be centred on the frame, and if you want to split the full-sized window into two smaller windows, this is ideal. Single hinged windows will not follow any specific alignment such as on a wall as they may sag at either side. It is also possible to have plastic removable louvres in the bottom-right of the window that can add some privacy during summer times depending on which end of the window it is placed.
Glass Type
Window glass in homes and offices can be a tricky decision. There are many factors that need to be considered such as protection against temperature, light, sound, and more. Aluminium windows have become a popular option due to their potential for customisation with different types of glazing which means you can tailor an aluminium window perfectly for your home or business.
There are many different types of glass you can look for and choose from, depending on what you need. One thing to do is to pick the type of coating that will help your windows defend against both fading and outside pollution.
Double glazing windows, what can it do for your house? Firstly, double glazing is a process in which a barrier of air or some type of energy-blocking glass separates the two halves of a window. The double glazing provides optimal levels of insulation and soundproofing, helping to reduce noise pollution
Whilst the majority of windows are made from an aluminium frame, the glass is actually a separate piece. This means that you can have the window replaced with a different type of glass for more privacy or to create a specific design that matches your home or business. There are many options available for different types of glass; double glazing, tinting, anti-reflective coating and more.
Window Type
Even the simplest, most traditional window type can add a stylish touch to your home or office. Reflecting the latest trends in architectural design, sliding windows are affordable and offer great privacy. Louvre windows allow for more natural light and energy efficiency by providing a cross ventilation system between rooms. Awning windows provide an elegant architectural feature, while keeping warm air at bay during cold weather.
Sliding Windows
Sliding Windows makes a huge difference in the appearance of your home or office. Sliding windows are designed in such a way that they can be opened and closed very quickly and easily. They open through a single button on the wall and then close with a simple push to lock them into place.

Aluminium Tilt and Turn Windows
Tilt Windows are fitted with a vertical glass panel that can be tilted into the wall. The tilt of the window usually creates a vertical opening in the wall to enable venting and natural light. However, tilt windows have their own safety features. For example, they have a hinge lock that keeps the glass from being accidentally knocked out of position on impact.
Aluminium Fixed Windows
Most aluminium windows are fixed, meaning they can’t open, but they also have the advantage of being able to block out noise and reduce energy use. They are a good choice for use in less-habitable spaces such as basements and garages. Moreover, they make the place appear larger and spacious.
Casement Windows
Casement Windows are known for the clean lines that they provide, a result of their style and how they are hung. Aluminium casements offer maximum energy efficiency, as well as being less vulnerable to corrosion than other windows. Casement windows also offer sliding or lifting sashes which have just been made available on new aluminium frames.
