Advantages of aluminium joinery

Aluminium joinery has a wide range of advantages which has seen it become a popular choice in New Zealand.

Sustainability 

Aluminium is recyclable and can be recycled many times without losing its properties. This makes it one of the most sustainable choices available in New Zealand. 

Strength 

Aluminium is incredibly strong, rated higher than wood, fibreglass, and vinyl.

Moreover, unlike steel joinery, aluminium is more flexible and can be easily moulded into different shapes without compromising its integrity. 

Durability 

Compared to vinyl, aluminium is significantly more durable as it doesn't expand or contract due to weather changes. 

Moreover, aluminium has enough durability to withstand harsh environments and it can hold its position for years even after minimal maintenance.

The different types generally include window & door aluminium joinery, conservatory, doors and skylights.

In addition, aluminium joinery is versatile and offers many different styles and options. Whether the project asks for hinged and pivoted openings or vibrant shades and colours, aluminium joinery can deliver.

Factors to consider

Whenever choosing joinery for the house, it is best to consider the following factors:

Availability 

Aluminium joinery is readily available in the New Zealand but it is always best to check with suppliers and get your order well in advance.

Styling

The great thing about aluminium is that it is available in a range of different styles and colours. While this flexibility is fantastic, think carefully about the surroundings and how your chosen aesthetic will work in the overall scheme of things. Brown aluminium joinery is one colour option to consider alongside the surrounding materials and finishes.

Aluminium joinery hardware

Having the right door and window hardware is also crucial for joinery to fulfil its purpose. Typically, with aluminium joinery, one always tries to pair it with the same material hardware. However, it also works well with non-aluminium hardware, but one has to make sure that the joinery fits well. 

Other Types of joinery systems

uPVC joinery is low-maintenance and energy-efficient. Steel joinery offers security and a modern aesthetic. Timber joinery provides a warm, natural look and can be customized. Each has its unique benefits and drawbacks, and the best choice will depend on budget, design preferences, and performance requirements.

Can I paint over aluminium joinery?

Aluminium joinery is incredibly popular, in part due to its customisable properties. This includes painting and recolouring. Professionals in New Zealand recommend priming the surface first, as this will allow the paint to adhere to the metal. Acrylic latex paint provides an even layer of opaque colour, perfect for simple yet effective projects.

How do I take care of aluminium joinery?

Aluminium joinery is incredibly robust and stable. However, like any metal product, it will need some care to enhance its longevity and preserve its integrity. This involves a gentle cleaning, including regular dusting to remove any debris accumulation. Tougher grime and dirt necessitate cleaning with soap and a sponge.

What is the standard size for aluminium windows?

The standard size for aluminium windows in New Zealand is approx 61 x 91 cm (24 x 36 inches). Generally, a maximum of 3 m in width and 1.5 m in height is recommended for most windows to avoid a bulky profile. However, sizing is largely personalised to suit the architecture of your specific build.
