Aluminum doors and windows first began to appear in the 1940s, as a strong, lightweight and
durable alternative to wooden doors and windows. At the time, Aluminum was a relatively new
material and its use in door and window design was a relatively new concept.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Aluminum doors and windows became increasingly popular, due to their
strength, low maintenance requirements and their ability to be used in a variety of different
architectural styles. In addition, the cost of manufacturing Aluminum doors and windows dropped,
making them a more affordable option for homeowners.
In the 1970s and 1980s, Aluminum doors and windows saw further developments with the
introduction of new designs and materials. For example, double-glazed Aluminum doors and
windows were developed, allowing for greater energy efficiency and noise reduction. This was
followed in the 1990s by the introduction of thermally broken Aluminum frames, providing even
greater insulation and temperature control.
Today, Aluminum doors and windows are still widely used in both residential and commercial
settings, due to their long-term durability and their ability to be used in a variety of different
designs. Furthermore, advancements in technology have allowed for the production of high-
performance Aluminum doors and windows with improved thermal efficiency, soundproofing and
security.
