While many builders and developers still use traditional windows made from wood, plastic, and their derivatives, aluminum windows and doors have become increasingly popular for both commercial and residential buildings. Aluminum window frames can be made to match almost any color and home style, they require considerably less maintenance, and offer increased longevity, especially in harsh climates because of their ability to withstand the elements. They can also be made in a range of different configurations including casement windows, double-hung windows, sliding windows/doors, awning windows, fixed windows, and lift and slide doors. Vetrina Windows would like to shed some light on some of the reasons why you should choose aluminum for your windows material.

The 4600 Lift and Slide Door System provides superior thermal insulation, compared to standard sliding doors. Standard central sash section of 4-21⁄64” (110mm) and the minimalist alternative of only 2” (50mm). Large sash dimensions make this system ideal for enclosing expansive areas, letting in more natural light. Aluminum framing while highly durable, is light enough for an easy and ultra smooth operation on a reinforced stainless steel rail. Instead of inserting a door into a wall, the whole wall becomes a window wall. The immediate benefit you will notice is how easy it is to open and close them. Huge unobstructed glass areas and an effortless sliding mechanism combine to make our Lift & Slide Doors the perfect solution for rooms with a view.
