Whether it’s a brand new home or a renovation, fitting it with the most modern, state-of-the-art products is essential to a long-lasting home. As the world continues to modernize and move towards sustainable, eco-friendly living, we’re shaping our homes to support that lifestyle. Many of our traditional construction materials and methods — especially associated with windows and doors — have left us with unreliable, inefficient homes. Starting with windows and doors is the perfect way to make modern living a reality.
Monumental Windows and Doors is a Southern California-based manufacturer that is making products for the future. That’s why we construct our windows and doors out of a durable, eco-friendly material — aluminum. There are many benefits to installing aluminum windows and doors in a home. Not only are they durable, environmentally friendly, and beautiful, but they also eliminate drafts and help maintain a comfortable, steady temperature inside any home. The benefits of utilizing aluminum-constructed windows and doors vastly outweigh that of other materials including wood and PVC.
The Advantages of Aluminum Window Frames Over Other Materials
Aluminum offers unparalleled durability and efficiency. As a home construction material, it can withstand extreme temperature variations without compromising a home. That makes it a perfect construction material for homes in a wide variety of regions with extreme weather conditions. Aluminum is also an incredibly low-maintenance material that doesn’t need the costly upkeep of other materials. Because its natural brushed aluminum texture fits nicely with modern design trends, it also doesn’t need to be painted or stained like other materials. Wood and vinyl require regular upkeep to maintain their color and appearance, which further tacks on unwanted maintenance and costs.
There are several advantages aluminum-constructed windows have over windows constructed from other materials such as wood and PVC. One of the biggest is that aluminum is a durable material that will not rot, warp, or crack. Because of fluctuating temperatures throughout the seasons and environmental effects such as rain, materials such as wood can swell and distort due to the exposure. If a construction material swells, shrinks, or warps, it can no longer adequately insulate the room. Gaps in a home can lead to drafts, flooding, or even pest infestations. They also significantly impact energy costs, as the HVAC system will have to work harder to maintain a steady temperature in the home. Aluminum window frames will never warp, swell, or shrink because of the extreme environmental conditions in any region.
Not only is aluminum eco-friendly because of the amount of energy it saves, it’s also a sustainable, non-toxic construction material. As one of the most abundant resources on the planet, which is also recyclable, aluminum is the most environmentally friendly construction material. In fact, nearly 75% of all aluminum ever produced in the United States is still being used today. Monumental Windows and Doors believes that efficient, high-performance windows are the future of modern living.
How Aluminum Door Frames Blend Beauty and Efficiency
As one of Southern California’s leading door manufacturers, Monumental Windows and Doors recognizes that inefficient doors and windows help account for up to 25% of the average homes’ energy bills. Installing aluminum-constructed doors reduces the amount of wasted energy needed to heat and cool homes. Monumental Windows and Doors’ high-performance, sliding glass doors, for example, offer large exterior modern windows that still efficiently maintain a home’s comfortable temperature. This innovative design is perfect for people that are looking for more efficiency without compromising beauty and natural light. Aluminum construction allows manufacturers like Monumental to produce windows and glass doors with low profile frame designs. Low profile designs mean less bulky, view-blocking material and more open views.
Aluminum-constructed doors are not only eco-friendly but also durable. The material is as strong and resistant to the elements as windows constructed from aluminum. These products easily last a lifetime while standing up to any sort of environmental conditions. They reduce the need for costly maintenance and upkeep, which allows homeowners the luxury of enjoying their home rather than sinking a countless amount of time and energy into maintaining it. Aluminum finishes are long-lasting and offer a variety of different options to satisfy homeowners regardless of their design goals.
