If you are considering a renovation of your home, then you may also be considering new windows. Of the many options you have, one durable option is an aluminium window. If you do not know much about this type of window, then there are a few things you need to consider, including what different types of these windows are available and how each may benefit you and your home's energy costs. 

Tilt Turn Windows

If you are someone who loves to have natural light and natural air flowing through your home then a tilt-turn aluminium window may be ideal for you. These windows can open vertically or horizontally. This means you can capture as much of the airflow outside as possible. Depending on the setup of your home, you could use one set of windows opened vertically and the set across from them opened horizontally to give a full and consistent airflow through the house. These windows do have a tight seal so you do not have to worry about energy leakage or water leaks when the windows are closed. 

Sliding Windows

Sliding aluminium windows are a popular option for several reasons. Two of the leading reasons are the ease of cleaning and the ease of using them. There are no cranks to worry about. There are also no tabs you have to push in with your fingers in order to open and adjust the window. These windows do have a lock on them and can be opened simply by unlocking and pushing the window or sliding the window to the side. You can also find ways to reinforce these sliding windows while they are closed and locked to help avoid break-ins or burglaries. 

Bi-Fold Windows

Bi-fold windows are a popular option because they give a finished look. One-half of the window can be opened or the entire series of the bi-fold windows can be opened. This allows a small amount of ventilation to the room and can be changed drastically simply by opening more windows. The bi-fold windows close and appear as one large set of windows without the seams from the frames showing. 

When you are ready to move forward on your window remodeling and renovation, contact your area window contractors and installers. They can discuss the type of aluminium windows you are considering and if there are other options that may be better for your home. They can also determine if there are any upgrades you need for your windows and what to know about those upgrades.
