- Long service life
- Aesthetics and design - Aluminum profiles allow for large windows and sliding systems while maintaining an elegant look
- Variety of colours and finishes
- Easy maintenance - Aluminium requires no special care
- Environmentally friendly - Fully recyclable material, making it a sustainable choice for the environment
Aluminium profile without thermal bridge (cold profile)
The choice between cold and warm profiles depends on the specific needs of the building and space. For interior solutions and unheated spaces, the cold profile is a practical and economical option. For exterior windows and doors, however, the thermal profile with interrupted thermal bridge is the better solution, providing energy efficiency and comfort in all seasons.
Advantages
- Low cost - Due to their simpler construction, these profiles are significantly cheaper than thermal bridge options.
- Suitable for internal partitions and rooms - Excellent choice for office dividers, internal doors and unheated spaces such as terraces, garages and warehouses.
- Strength and stability - Although without an insulating layer, the cold profiles retain the typical strength and stability of aluminium.
- Easy installation - Lighter construction makes installation faster and more convenient.
Disadvantages
- Lack of thermal insulation - Due to the absence of an interrupted thermal bridge, this type of profile is not suitable for exterior windows and doors exposed to the weather.
- Condensation with temperature differences - In cold months, condensation forms, which can lead to damp and mould.
Aluminium profile with interrupted thermal bridge (warm profile)
Aluminium profiles with interrupted thermal bridge include a special insulation layer between the outer and inner part of the profile. This makes them suitable for outdoor use.
Advantages
- Excellent thermal insulation - The interrupted thermal bridge prevents heat loss, providing lower heating and cooling costs.
- Prevent condensation - The insulation layer reduces the risk of moisture forming on the glass and profile.
- Soundproofing - The additional barrier reduces the penetration of external noises, improving the comfort of the home.
- Energy efficiency - Thermal bridge profiles meet the requirements for low-energy and passive houses.
- All-weather durability - Not affected by climate changes - rain, snow, high temperatures.
Disadvantages
- Higher cost - Because of the additional insulation and complex construction, the thermal bridge profiles are more expensive.
- More complex installation - Require more careful and professional installation for maximum efficiency.
