Compared with broken bridge aluminum, aluminum-plastic co-extruded profiles have cost-effective advantages in the following aspects:
- Price: Generally speaking, the price of aluminum-plastic co-extruded profiles is relatively low. Broken bridge aluminum because of the use of higher quality aluminum alloy materials and advanced thermal insulation technology, complex production processes, higher costs, so the price is usually much higher than aluminum-plastic co-extruded profiles. For example, the price of ordinary aluminum doors and windows on the market may be about 600 - 1800 yuan per square meter, while the price of aluminum-plastic co-extruded doors and windows may be about 300 - 800 yuan per square meter, the specific price will vary depending on the brand, specifications, configuration and other factors.
- Thermal insulation performance: aluminum-plastic co-extruded profiles usually use a multi-cavity structural design, and filled with internal insulation materials, such as polyurethane foam, can effectively block the conduction of heat. At the same time, its plastic outer layer also has a certain thermal insulation properties, the overall thermal insulation effect is better, and the thermal insulation properties of broken aluminum is comparable or even better in some cases. In the cold winter, it can reduce the loss of indoor heat and lower heating costs; in the hot summer, it can also reduce the outdoor heat transfer into the room and reduce the energy consumption of air conditioning.
- Anti-corrosion performance: aluminum-plastic co-extruded profiles of the outer layer is plastic, can be inside the aluminum alloy and the outside world of air, moisture, acids and alkalis and other corrosive substances to isolate, effectively preventing rust and corrosion of aluminum alloy, extend the service life of the profile. Although the broken bridge aluminum surface treatment process to improve the corrosion resistance, but if the surface treatment layer is damaged, aluminum alloy may still be exposed to the external environment and corrosion. In contrast, the anti-corrosion performance of aluminum-plastic co-extruded profile is more stable and reliable, for some in coastal areas or high humidity, high corrosive environment of the building, aluminum-plastic co-extruded profile of this advantage is more obvious, can reduce the cost of maintenance and replacement.
- Decorative performance: Aluminum co-extruded profiles can be achieved through transfer printing, laminating and other processes to achieve a variety of colors and surface texture, such as imitation wood grain, imitation stone and other effects, to meet the needs of different architectural styles and decorative needs, to achieve good decorative effect. Although the broken bridge aluminum can also be achieved through the surface spraying and other processes to achieve a variety of colors, but in some special decorative effects, aluminum-plastic co-extruded profiles may be more advantageous, and its surface of the film or transfer layer is relatively more wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and can be better to maintain the longevity of the decorative effect.
