For many people who decorate their houses, the choice of aluminum doors and windows is a big problem! If you want sufficient light and a reasonable area division, then sliding doors are a good choice. It’s money-saving, good-looking, and easy to use!
1. Sealing performance of aluminum doors and windows
For aluminum doors, choose aluminum doors with inlaid glass, especially products with hollow glass design, and you must pay attention to its sealing performance. If the sealing is not good, it will cause the hollow layer to hold dirt and affect the appearance.
2. Aluminum door and window components
The connection of aluminum door and window components should be firm, and corrosion-resistant filling materials should be used to seal and waterproof the connection part.
3. Signs of aluminum alloy doors and windows
Choose a manufacturer with a formal or production license, and indicate the product’s logo, including: manufacturing trademark, product name, product model, etc.
4. Price of aluminum doors and windows
In general, due to the high production cost of high-quality aluminum alloy doors and windows, the price is about 30% higher than that of inferior aluminum alloy doors and windows.
In order to reduce costs, some manufacturers cut corners and shoddy materials. The hidden dangers of the products are relatively high, so they are generally not suitable for use.
It is best to choose products from regular aluminum doors and windows manufacturers. You can pay more attention to this information when buying, so that you can avoid a lot of detours.
5. Processing quality of aluminum doors and windows
The high-quality aluminum doors are finely processed and welded, especially the splicing parts are very flat.
Inferior aluminum doors and windows, blindly choose aluminum profile series and specifications, and the processing is shoddy. The corners of the door frame cannot be spliced and flat, and sometimes there are even larger gaps.
Consumers should pay special attention to checking for welding defects, such as open welding and missing welding.
6. Material of aluminum doors and windows
Whether it is a broken bridge thermal insulation aluminum profile, the wall thickness of the main profile should be greater than 1.4mm; the color of the same aluminum alloy profile should be the same, if the color difference is obvious, it is not suitable for purchase;
Check the surface of the aluminum alloy profile, there should be no depression or bulging; the oxide film thickness should reach 10 microns, you can lightly scratch the surface of the profile when purchasing to see if the oxide film on the surface can be wiped off.
How to choose a sliding door?
1. Look at the profile section
The profiles of glass sliding doors on the market can be divided into two types-aluminum-magnesium alloy and secondary aluminum.
Generally speaking, high-quality sliding door profiles need to be made of aluminum, strontium, copper, magnesium, manganese and other alloys, and their toughness has a greater advantage.
The lower quality profile is recycled aluminum, and its toughness and service life will be far more than aluminum profile sliding doors.
2. The pulley track is the key
The sliding door has two sets of upper and lower pulleys. The upper pulley plays a guiding role. Because it is installed in the upper part of the track, consumers often ignore it.
Usually the better upper pulley structure is quite complicated, not only has a bearing inside, but also an aluminum block to fix it, so that when it slides smoothly, there is no noise.
3. Pick track height and edge fastness
The rationality of the ground rail design directly affects the comfort and service life of the product. Consumers should choose a style that has a good foot feel and is conducive to clean and hygienic when purchasing.
The edge fastness requires the choice of adhesive strips. Nowadays, the most popular adhesive strips on the market are: PVC rubber and silicone rubber, which have obvious quality and decorative effects.
4. It is important to choose a good glass
Sliding door glass occupies most of it, and the quality of the glass directly determines the price and aesthetics of the door.
