Aluminium is the most recommended material to use for windows and doors in New Zealand.
Aluminium and its alloys exhibit strength, integrity, and resistance to the influence of the natural environment and extreme weather. Aluminium does not rust, decay, crack, lose shape, nor is it susceptible to pests.
These unique properties and qualities make aluminium one of the most popular and versatile materials for New Zealand conditions. Aluminium’s high strength-to-weight ratio makes structures lighter by 35% to 65% compared to steel, while providing equivalent strength. This means it doesn’t place a significant load on the building’s supporting structure.
Strong and durable, Aluminium doesn’t require regular repainting and requires minimal maintenance. Aluminium is also a high-value recyclable that can be melted down and used again indefinitely.
While other materials may sound good in the short term, Aluminium is the most reliable material for windows and doors long term and this is why Tasman Aluminium only supplies aluminium windows and doors.
