Aluminium Joinery
Aluminium is the most commonly used framing in New Zealand homes as it is lighter, stronger, more durable and lower maintenance than wooden joinery. At Window Masters we no longer tend to timber frame maintenance and repairs, we specialise in aluminium joinery.
Windows and doors are typically significant contributors to heat loss (and gain) and therefore impact the overall energy efficiency of a home. Today’s joinery is significantly better than that commonly seen in 1980’s homes as both design and construction have improved over time, there are however additional features available today that will further minimise heat transfer including:
Double glazing
Thermally broken joinery
Both systems create a barrier to separate warm air from cool air (double glazing takes care of the glass, while thermal breaks in joinery manage heat transfer in the frames). The NZ Government’s Smarter Homes website and Energy Wise website both have some great information on these choices.
New Aluminium Joinery
Replacing your old and tired joinery with new frames is a great way to add value to your property, refreshing the overall appearance. Whether you are renovating your entire home or office space, or simply needing to replace a faulty window or door, we’ll supply and install joinery and hardware to suit your needs and budget.
Upgrading a window to a sliding door or installing a sliding door into an existing wall are popular ways to increase natural light and improve access to your property. See some examples of our work on our Facebook page.
Repairs & Replacement
If your slider is no longer sliding smoothly this can often be fixed by simply repairing or replacing the rollers and/or mechanisms.
When doors are dated or damaged however it may be better to upgrade to a newer, stronger style. If this is the case, we can replace your joinery with new or second-hand products to match the style of your property.
Replace Wooden Frames with Aluminium
Upgrading to aluminium joinery will modernise the appearance of your property whilst saving you time and money in the long run. Aluminium is the most common framing material in New Zealand because it’s light, strong, durable, low maintenance - and affordable!
There are a wide range of products on the market these days, we’ll recommend styles to match your existing property.
