Last year was a year of comprehensive development in China's construction industry, as well as the aluminum alloy doors and windows industry. According to incomplete statistics, approximately 100 million square meters of aluminum alloy doors and windows were completed throughout the year.
Last year was a year of comprehensive development in China's construction industry, as well as the aluminum alloy doors and windows industry. According to incomplete statistics, approximately 100 million square meters of aluminum alloy doors and windows were completed throughout the year. The usage of aluminum alloy doors and windows accounts for about 60% of the total number of doors and windows.
The reporter visited some aluminum and aluminum alloy door and window manufacturers in the market and found that aluminum alloy doors and windows are undergoing a magnificent upgrade and will make their debut on stage in people's expectations.
One Change: A Change in Craftsmanship
Electrophoresis and spray painting replace traditional oxidation and spray painting
The process update is a major change for aluminum alloy doors and windows this autumn. It is understood that traditional aluminum alloy materials mainly use oxidation and spray painting processes for their appearance, and their corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, decorative properties, and environmental friendliness are not as good as the newly developed electrophoresis and spray painting processes.
Most consumers pay more attention to the style and color of door and window production, but know very little about the production process. "Mr. He, a professional, said that traditional aluminum surface treatment is mainly oxidation and painting, with monotonous colors and rough appearance. The latest electrophoresis and spraying processes have stronger surface adhesion, less likely to peel off the paint film, better corrosion resistance, environmental protection, and decoration. Especially the electrophoresis process has double-layer protection, high transparency, and strong metallic texture, which is more decorative than painting and powder spraying.
Spraying can be divided into two categories based on color: monochrome spraying and color spraying. Its spraying materials include powder coatings (commonly known as "plastic powder"), fluorocarbon polymer resin coatings, etc. It is characterized by a wide variety of colors, but its wear and scratch resistance is not as good as electrophoresis.
Two changes: changes in functionality
Breaking through traditional casement windows and ordinary sliding windows
More user-friendly functionality is also an important feature of aluminum alloy doors and windows this autumn. New aluminum alloy doors and windows have added various forms on the basis of traditional casement windows and ordinary sliding windows.
Elevating sliding doors is achieved by using specially designed door panels to lift and secure the door leaf upwards. No matter where the door is pushed, it is not easily blown off or displaced by the wind. This type of door has strong load-bearing capacity and is easy to clean the track. The widest single door can reach 2 meters, but the cost per square meter is more than 2000 yuan, making it more suitable for large hotels and villa balcony doors.
Flat sliding door is an addition of a single-sided flat opening function on the basis of the original sliding door. The upper end of this type of door and window can be tilted 30 degrees outward from the frame. The biggest advantage of these doors and windows is to prevent them from falling off due to external forces such as strong winds and heavy rain, making them suitable for ordinary households.
Three changes: changes in color
Champagne color and colorful wood grain spraying have become the mainstream of consumption
This year, aluminum alloy doors and windows have become mainstream in terms of appearance colors, such as romantic champagne and colorful wood grain spraying. Secondly, composite aluminum wood structures are also favored by many fashionable home enthusiasts.
Romantic champagne color interpretation mainstream
Doors and windows made of champagne colored aluminum alloy materials are gradually becoming the mainstream of market consumption. According to Wu Weishe, Deputy General Manager of Guangdong Huachang Aluminum Co., Ltd., romantic champagne colored aluminum alloy profiles have become popular this year. Using the latest electrophoretic technology, every point, surface, and hole can be evenly painted, with a smooth and delicate appearance, warm color, and a luxurious temperament. The price is not high, ranging from 350 to 400 yuan per square meter, and is very popular.
Colorful wood grain surface with diverse patterns
Colorful wood grain painted aluminum alloy doors and windows are also popular fashion this autumn. Colorful wood grain doors and windows with a variety of colors and styles, complemented by elegant and beautiful glass doors, make the cold and stiff "face" look magnificent. The person in charge of Baishunxing aluminum alloy doors and windows said that the wood grain is sprayed with paint, and the colors are varied. "You can have any color you want".
Composite aluminum wood structure exudes grandeur
The composite aluminum wood structure doors and windows are made of "aluminum+wood", with a smooth and delicate aluminum door frame on one side and a noble and warm wooden door frame on the other side, like a "double-sided beauty". According to Wuwei Society, it adopts double splicing, with aluminum alloy on the outside and pure wooden doors on the inside. A thermal insulation board is added in the middle, which can resist both hot and cold air from the outside and prevent fire. It is very suitable for balcony or kitchen doors. However, the cost per square meter can reach over 3000 yuan, and it is mostly used in villas, high-end duplexes, and star rated hotels.
