Why use thermal break aluminum for balcony enclosure? Intop tells you how to choose their models and thicknesses.

In our daily life, balcony is an important space. It is part of our home and a window for us to contact the outside world. The choice and design of the balcony will have an important impact on our living environment.

Among them, the selection of window materials for enclosed balconies is a very important part.

So, why do we need to use thermal break aluminum for enclosed balconies? This article will give you a detailed answer and tell you how to choose the model and thickness.

1. Definition and advantages of thermally-insulated aluminum

As the name implies, thermally-insulated aluminum is a heat-insulating material installed inside the aluminum alloy profile to form a broken bridge to interrupt the heat conduction of the metal. Its main advantages are as follows:

1.1 Good thermal insulation performance: The thermal conductivity coefficient of thermally-insulated aluminum is much lower than that of ordinary aluminum, so it can block the high temperatures from the outside in summer and avoid the loss of indoor heat in winter.

1.2 Highly efficient sound insulation performance: Its structure has been carefully designed, and the contact parts between the window sash and the window frame are equipped with sealing strips to effectively block noise.

1.3 Good waterproof performance: The thermally-insulated aluminum doors and windows are designed with a drainage system based on the pressure balance principle, which can quickly remove moisture.

1.4 High weather resistance: Weather resistance is one of its major features. No matter in high temperature, low temperature, high humidity or salt spray corrosion environment, it will not powder or fade.

2. Choosing the model and thickness of thermal break aluminum

2.1 Model selection: Common thermal break aluminum models on the market include 55, 60, 70, 90, etc. The difference in model mainly refers to the cross-sectional width of the thermal break aluminum. Generally speaking, the larger the model, the higher the strength, but the price is also relatively high. When choosing a model, you need to consider your own needs and budget.

2.2 Thickness selection: The thickness of thermal break aluminum is generally between 1.4mm-2.0mm. The thicker the thickness, the better the strength, but the higher the price. It is recommended to choose thermal break aluminum with a thickness of 1.4mm for a balcony, which can not only meet the strength requirements, but also control the cost to a certain extent.

Summary

The main reasons for using thermal break aluminum for balcony enclosures are good thermal insulation, sound insulation, waterproofing and weather resistance. When choosing the model and thickness of thermal break aluminum, you need to weigh it according to your needs and budget.
