ULTRA ALUMINUM Replacement windows
Aluminum is a very stable material, with consistent and predictable properties. It is 23.2 times more rigid than vinyl and 7.2 times more rigid than pine wood. Aluminum doesn't absorb moisture, so it won't swell, shrink, twist, split, crack or check. Aluminum can't rust, and its strength and rigidity are unaffected by weather and time.
Expansion and contraction, both of the building and the window-frame materials, are two of the factors that determine long-term window reliability and ease of operation. Over time, aluminum windows are resistant to changes in temperature and humidity, which can cause some window frame materials to bend and twist - leading to seal failure, air and water leakage, and difficult operation.
ULTRA aluminum windows come with an electro-statically applied powder coat finish - available in four colors: white, tan, silver or bronze. Three times as thick as baked enamel, powder coating provides one of the toughest and easiest-to-maintain finishes available. Wiping the windows down with a damp cloth, will easily remove surface dirt and grime.
Thermally broken aluminum windows are extruded in two halves; the outside half and the inside half. The two halves are then bonded together with a thick, insulating layer of rigid polyurethane between them to act as a thermal break - keeping the outside temperature from conducting through the frame.
