The health and longevity of buildings are of great significance to society and individuals. They can not only improve people’s living standards and protect their lives, property, health, and safety, but also reduce resource waste and environmental pollution, thus contributing to sustainable social development.

Aluminum alloy doors and windows have become a major building door and window product in China due to their advantages such as light weight, high strength, good performance, strong decorative effect, and economic durability . Therefore , doors and windows are crucial for improving the overall lifespan of buildings. So, what factors affect the lifespan of doors and windows?

Profile quality

The quality of the aluminum profiles directly determines the quality of doors and windows . High-quality aluminum alloy doors and windows use aluminum profiles whose thickness, strength, and oxide film all meet relevant national standards.

It has excellent resistance to atmospheric corrosion, is not afraid of moisture or sunlight, does not deform at high temperatures, does not become brittle at low temperatures, is suitable for various climatic environments, and has a long service life.

Doors and windows made from inferior profiles have low strength, are prone to discoloration and deformation, and naturally have a short service life.

Hardware quality

Hardware is the heart of doors and windows, the core of the entire system. Whether it’s handles, lock cylinders, hinges, or lock chains, each component plays a vital role and largely determines the lifespan of the doors and windows.

Processing level

The quality of production equipment and processes determines the overall performance of doors and windows. High-quality aluminum alloy doors and windows are finely processed, with smooth cuts, consistent angles, good sealing performance, and smooth opening and closing.

Inferior aluminum alloy doors and windows are crudely made, with sawing instead of milling, and are not installed according to requirements. They have poor sealing performance, which not only leaks air and water , but also makes them easy to be blown off or knocked off by strong winds and external forces, causing damage to property and injury to people.

Daily maintenance

As the saying goes, quality is 70% and maintenance is 30%. To ensure a long service life for doors and windows, in addition to the workmanship and materials used in the product itself, regular maintenance is also very important.

• Ensure good indoor ventilation and maintain indoor humidity to keep aluminum alloy doors and windows at a normal room temperature.

Do not open aluminum alloy doors and windows with wet hands or hands containing other solutions , as this may corrode the door locks and cause discoloration. Do not use excessive force when opening or turning the door lock handle.

• When cleaning stains on aluminum alloy surfaces, you can use a soft cloth that is dampened and wrung out to about 80% dry before wiping. If the stains are too heavy, you can use toothpaste or furniture cleaner.

• Cleaning and dust removal should be carried out regularly to prevent corrosive liquids from remaining on the aluminum surface.

• When using aluminum alloy doors and windows, do not hang excessively heavy items on the door panels, and take care to prevent sharp objects from bumping or scratching the doors and windows.

Building quality is a long-term strategic concern, and the safety of doors and windows is of paramount importance. To ensure the lifespan of doors and windows and provide a safe and comfortable home environment for your family, consumers should carefully understand the quality, specifications, and prices of door and window products, and choose products that meet their needs and budget.
