Why Aluminum Windows

While many builders and developers still use traditional windows made from wood, plastic, and their derivatives, aluminum windows and doors have become increasingly popular for both commercial and residential buildings. Aluminum window frames can be made to match almost any color and home style, they require considerably less maintenance, and offer increased longevity, especially in harsh climates because of their ability to withstand the elements. They can also be made in a range of different configurations including casement windows, double-hung windows, sliding windows/doors, awning windows, fixed windows, and lift and slide doors. Vetrina Windows would like to shed some light on some of the reasons why you should choose aluminum for your windows material.
