With the development time, we are more happy with something practical and doable. As in building a house, something that is more easily applied will tend to be selected by the consumer. We only know the first frame from wood base materials. For current development era with wooden frames can be replaced with an aluminum frame.
Moreover, as we all know that if more and more wood is used the less the amount of wood left in the woods there, and this led to unfavorable environmental impacts, such as global warming, landslides and water catchment areas were certainly on the wane. For that the aluminum frame is to be one alternative to the use of wooden frames. But whether this aluminum frame can really challenge the existence of the era and replacing wood sills? Here there are some disadvantages and advantages of aluminum frames and wooden frames.
Aluminum Frame
Excess:
1. Resistant porous, it is not possible to be eaten by termites.
2. Aluminum which are more durable, anti-termite, and do not shrink like wood, will not experience shrinkage and changes in shape / curve due to changes in weather.
3. Unique aluminum frames can be painted or covered with wood color that resembles wood motif even wood.
4. Designs can be made to order. The advantages of aluminum frame is light weight and strong so easily moved. Treatment is simple to appeal to buyers in addition to the quality of aluminum material.
5. Economically, in terms of process cost of manufacture, installation and maintenance to cheaper aluminum frames because it is more durable.
Disadvantages:
1. Variations in limited form, since it is a factory standard, limited to the shape of minimalist and classical Europe.
2. Installation by using the Fischer system. This technique relies on the strength of fischer drilled screws with sills and planted against the wall around the door jamb that has been plastered neatly and very accurately the size and angle elbow. For this installation technique, if something goes wrong in the installation then it can be fatal.
3. How to install an aluminum frame on the strength of the paired screw attached to the wall making it must be fitted with precision and plastered neatly to avoid leaks and other errors. Do not choose a low-quality aluminum frame, because it can easily expands as the temperature changes drastically as a framed glass can be easily separated.
4. Poor connection at the elbow or the glass can cause rain water can enter, because it's splicing factors and the 'sealant' or a rubber seal between the glass and aluminum must be of high quality and durable materials so that water does not easily fit into the frame or into the room. Basically, this problem does not pose a problem sealant on aluminum frames because aluminum is not affected water.
Wood Frame
Excess:
1. The existence of a wide variety of forms according to need (traditional, modern, minimalist, classical, etc.)
2. Wooden frames can be applied to any type of home design.
3. timber has advantages compared with other materials that conformed to the natural look of wood species
4. Many strong wood materials by type such as teak, moth, or ironwood, through a oven process good.
5. Wood is flexible to be changed shape according to the design, such as straight or curved shape, and can retain heat or cold from outdoors
6. The house will appear more natural with the ornaments / wooden frames.
Disadvantages:
1. Now this is very hard to get good quality wood.
2. Easily eaten by termites, treatment periodically with paint or coating to remain durable, and absorbs water, causing the volume of timber can be fickle. As a result the doors or windows difficult to open because one of its corners expands
3. wood used for the horses, sequence, rafters and battens on the roof may experience a 'twist' when the wood used poor-quality wood.
4. More expensive than aluminum, in terms of process cost of manufacture, installation and maintenance for timber frames are more expensive because of age is limited.
All the options back to us, if we prefer to use wooden frames then we should know the risks or the merits of using this wood frame, and vice versa if you prefer to use aluminum sills. Hopefully some of this information is useful for us.
