Decoration and window replacement seem to have become the consensus of many people. After all, to renovate a house, you have to live for at least ten years, and the window is the most basic structure, and no one wants to leave hidden dangers in the subsequent life.
In addition, the quality of the windows pre-installed by the developer is also uneven. So even if they have an extra budget, many people are willing to replace the windows in their homes.
However, there is a strange phenomenon in today's market, that is, the mainstream broken bridge aluminum windows are no longer as fragrant as in the past, and are even on the verge of elimination.
In this issue, let's talk about broken bridge aluminum windows to see if your home also has the following problems.
1. What is a broken bridge aluminum window?
As we all know, before the emergence of broken bridge aluminum windows, the market has been dominated by plastic steel windows and aluminum alloy windows, but due to the immaturity of technology, there are problems with windows of both materials.
Plastic steel windows
The biggest highlight of plastic steel windows is that they have good thermal insulation and sound insulation performance, but because the window frame is made of PVC resin, it is easy to change color after a long time and is not strong enough. Of course, there are also export-grade materials, but they are very expensive.
Aluminum alloy windows
Aluminum alloy windows actually appeared earlier than plastic steel windows, but at that time, due to technical limitations, it was impossible to achieve a casement structure. However, when the casement aluminum alloy window appeared, it could be regarded as opening a new era.
Compared with plastic steel windows, aluminum alloy windows immediately solve the problems of easy discoloration and infirmity. In terms of thermal insulation performance, due to the good thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy, it is not as good as plastic steel windows.
Broken bridge aluminum window
When the broken bridge aluminum window appeared, it was once called a revolutionary product and quickly swept the door and window market. Compared with the first two windows, they have many performance advantages such as no discoloration, good sealing, firmness, heat insulation and so on.
However, these are superficial phenomena, and the essence of broken bridge aluminum windows is still aluminum alloy windows, but a heat insulation strip is added in the middle.
2. What are the problems of broken bridge aluminum windows?
It is undeniable that broken bridge aluminum profiles are still the mainstream materials in the market, but because they are assembled structures, such as profiles, hardware, glass, rubber strips, etc., they are basically produced by different manufacturers.
Therefore, as long as there is a problem in any link, there will be hidden dangers in the later stage. Some people may say, isn't it okay to choose a brand merchant?
In fact, the brands we often talk about are mainly the brands of profile (window frame) manufacturers, and as for other accessories, you don't know whether they are big brands or miscellaneous brands.
Because of this, there are various problems with broken bridge aluminum windows, as follows.
The performance is not ideal
The heat and sound insulation performance of ordinary broken bridge aluminum windows may not be as good as you imagined. The most intuitive manifestation is that at night when the windows are closed, you can still hear the obvious noise outside.
In addition, in the summer, the indoor temperature will be very high, even if the air conditioner is turned on, the cooling effect is average.
Cause of the problem: related to thermal insulation strips, glass, profiles.
Leaky air in winter
Many people should be able to empathize with this problem. Especially in winter, when the temperature is low, you can clearly feel the cold wind when you stand by the window. And in windy weather, it is accompanied by the sound of whirring wind.
Cause: Related to seals, installation, and assembly.
Condensation fogged up
This problem is also very common and can also occur in insulating glass laminates. The consequence is that water will bead at the bottom of the window, which will then affect the wall, corner, window sill and other positions, resulting in moisture resurgence and peeling.
Although this problem is related to the indoor air temperature and humidity, it also means that the window insulation performance is poor, so this problem occurs.
Cause of the problem: related to glass, sealant, tightness, drainage holes.
The structure is not aesthetically pleasing
Because the broken bridge aluminum windows are all processed in the factory, and then transported to the site to be assembled by the master. So the details of this piece basically all depend on luck, if the master is good, then all the splicing seams are more balanced;But if the master's craftsmanship is average, then the problem of large and small seams will be very obvious.
In addition, due to the limitation of size, the shape and structure of the windows are relatively simple, and basically all houses are similar, which cannot meet the diverse needs.
3. What are the advantages of the system window?
Combined with the problems existing in ordinary broken bridge aluminum windows, its upgraded version, the system window, was born in response to the market and gradually became the mainstream. So how is it different from ordinary broken bridge aluminum windows?
Performance upgrades
In fact, the system window is also a broken bridge aluminum window, but it has been upgraded in a new process. For example, individual functional sections such as air tightness, water tightness, wind pressure resistance, heat preservation, and sound insulation are all integrated together to form a system after rigorous design and testing.
Therefore, compared with the ordinary broken bridge aluminum window, the performance of the system window has undoubtedly been greatly improved and improved.
Thermal and sound insulation
Thermal insulation and sound insulation can be said to be the core function of windows, and it is also the part that many people pay the most attention to. For example, the system windows use multi-cavity heat insulation strips, while ordinary windows use slotted or C-type heat insulation strips, which greatly increases the effect of delaying the barrier and alternating between cold and heat.
In addition, the standard system window cavity will also be filled with acoustic insulation cotton, so its thermal insulation effect will be better.
Good sealing
In response to the problem of poor window sealing, the system window was optimized on several components.
For example, the isobaric adhesive strip of the ordinary window is disconnected, and the system window is integrated weldedFor example, ordinary windows are open drainage, and system windows are **drainage;Another example is that ordinary windows use open hinges, and system windows use **hinges.
Therefore, the sealing of the system window will be better, and it is not easy to leak air.
Relatively aesthetically pleasing
Because the window frame of the system window is a one-piece structure, it also has more possibilities and changes in the modeling design, which fully meets the aesthetics and needs of different people.
In addition, compared with the spraying process of ordinary window surface, there are many kinds of treatment processes for the surface of system windows. For example, electrostatic powder coating, fluorocarbon process, porcelain swimming process, etc. Not only is the texture better, but the feel is also very delicate when touched.
Write at the end:
To sum up, the system window can be called a product of the progress of the times. The only drawback is that it is relatively high. However, there is one thing to remind everyone, that is, when choosing the system window, you must choose brand products, which will be more secure.
For example, Mercer doors and windows from Germany uphold the concept of changing buildings with products and leading the changes of the times with products, so that users can have a better living experience, so interested friends can learn about it.
