Durable and Long-Lasting Material
One of the biggest benefits of aluminium double hung windows is the strength and longevity of aluminium itself. Unlike timber, aluminium doesn’t warp, rot, or swell with moisture, and it resists rust and corrosion better than many metals. This makes aluminium windows especially suitable for Australia’s diverse climates, including coastal and humid areas.
Easy and Flexible Operation
Double hung windows feature two sashes that slide vertically past each other. This allows for flexible ventilation options — you can open the top sash for warm air to escape while opening the bottom sash to let fresh air in. This natural airflow improves indoor air quality and keeps your home comfortable without relying heavily on air conditioning.
Classic Aesthetic with Modern Benefits
Double hung windows have a timeless look that complements both traditional and modern architectural styles. Aluminium versions maintain this classic appeal but with slimmer frames and greater design flexibility than timber. Aluminium also allows for larger glass areas, giving your home more natural light.
Low Maintenance Requirements
Compared to timber, aluminium double hung windows require very little maintenance. The powder-coated finish resists fading, chipping, and corrosion. Occasional cleaning with soapy water keeps frames looking fresh. Unlike timber windows, there’s no need for sanding or repainting.
Energy Efficiency and Weatherproofing
Modern aluminium double hung windows come with weather seals and thermal breaks that help improve energy efficiency by reducing heat transfer and air leakage. When fitted with double glazing, they help keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
Summary
Aluminium double hung windows combine the classic functionality and appearance of traditional windows with the durability, low maintenance, and energy efficiency of modern materials. They’re an excellent choice for homeowners seeking both style and performance.
