If I choose aluminium frame, is it worth throwing a lot to have double glazing windows as aluminum will lose heat quickly and is the weakest point in the chain. Other options like Aluminum broken is costly. Is there any cost effective to maintain the energy efficiency?

Growing up in the 80s, cold calling and door knocking was commonplace from Double Glazing companies. Both Rangers and Celtic were sponsored by CR Smith, which was a double glazing company. Most people upgraded, because it made so much sense. The fact that new homes are being built with single glazes in 2015 in madness.

Good for sound prevention as well. Double glazing would normally be combined with a honeycomb type Venetian blind to further prevent transmission of cold or heat Re: Is It Worth Double Glazing for Aluminium Frame Window? 8Jun 29, 2015 4:18 pm Peejayell Double glazing in Oz generally has the outer frame of the window as aluminium and the inner frame of timber so that the heat or cold is not transmitted inside.

Re: Is It Worth Double Glazing for Aluminium Frame Window? 10Jul 01, 2015 3:22 pm yhfg27 can you give me some examples of non-broken windows? Almost all aluminium windows are unbroken, meaning they are one piece aluminium. Thermally broken aluminium almost always is identified as such. These windows have the outer and inner surfaces separated by a nylon joiner, which restricts the passage of heat inside>outside and v.v. yhfg27 also are they costly? Thermally broken windows are generally 70%-100% dearer than unbroken windows.
