If you are planning to buy a new house or renovate the house and change the windows in the house and the exterior doors of the living room towards the balcony or the garden – aluminum sliding systems will give you the perfect solution for this all over the house.
Aluminum sliding systems upgrade the appearance of any room, provide shading, and provide excellent thermal insulation in all weather conditions. They are also, of course, safe and easy to use and maintain.
The style and color of the sliding systems can be adjusted to the style of each room and the house’s general design, as well as to any size of window and door openers.
We turned to Extal’s experts—which offers advanced aluminum solutions for industry and construction in Israel and around the world—to explain the many advantages of installing aluminum sliding systems around the house.
What are aluminum sliding systems?
Aluminum sliding systems—namely, windows and doors—are made of high-quality raw materials, such as tempered glass and durable aluminum.
They can be installed in different rooms in the house, such as the living room, the children’s room, the kitchen, the bedroom, and the exit from the living room to the balcony.
The aluminum sliding system can be adjusted to any size of window or exit door, whether small and narrow or medium or large and wide openings.
The sliding system does not reduce the size of the room or take up space because its opening is lateral. It is based on several parts that move on rails and do not open in or out.
The aluminum sliding systems move on the rails quickly, and closing or opening them does not require effort.
Showcase windows for the living room, for example, allow access to the balcony or garden, and because they are transparent – they do not hide the beautiful view from the outside.
If you install screens for the showcase doors, there is also no prohibition to leave them open and enjoy pleasant air entering the home without fear of pests entering the house or dirt from the outside.
In terms of design – the aluminum sliding windows are aesthetic and convey luxury.
They are minimally designed to prevent damage to the field of vision of people sitting on the balcony space in front of the view or the garden outside.
You can even choose the color of the glass and the frames according to each person’s taste and the house’s general design.
In addition to the usual aluminum profile, sliding systems are also made of Belgian aluminum, which resembles the iron profile in shape.
This type of aluminum is thinner than standard aluminum, has a lovely appearance, and allows for more flexibility in how the openings are divided.
Beyond that, it is similar in its properties to the classic aluminum profile, has excellent thermal insulation, and is durable and easy to maintain.
Different types of sliding windows
A sliding pocket window—when you open the window, it goes into a pocket cast from plaster, which looks like it goes into the wall.
A wing-on-wing sliding window is a type of aluminum sliding window or door that moves on a rail. When you open one of the wings (its parts), one wing covers the other, hence the name.
A sliding guillotine window has one or two wings (depending on the critical size) that move up or down.
A hinged sliding window – which has a two-way opening, with the help of a hinge, outwards or inwards.
Advantages of aluminum sliding windows and doors throughout the house
They do not take up space because they open to the sides of a rail and are not in or out.
Manual or electric roller blinds or curtains can be added next to them to create complete shading.
The windows are lightweight because the aluminum they are made is low-weight.
Because of this, it is also convenient and easy to open and close them.
The glass of the sliding windows is tempered, so even if it breaks, it will not shatter into small pieces and will not endanger the house members.
They are considered durable for a long time because they are high-quality and undergo strict quality tests throughout their production stages.
