>Aluminium window frames… I curse them.
What? Why?
High embodied energy, terrible insulation, and I don't picture aluminium as a cheap material.
- fomine3 6y agoTraditionally wood was used for window frames but it couldn't provide enough amount for building after WW2.. Aluminum is better than wood for durability and air sealing but stupid for insulation. Now all major window frame manufacturer is aluminum industry so that's why transition to resin window frames is hard..
