The Aluminum Advantage In High Performance Windows & Doors

Aluminum has become an increasingly popular material thanks to its flexibility—literal and figurative!—light weight, ‘green’ properties and more. This course will teach you more about what aluminum has to offer and how you can more efficiently complete your projects by making use of this amazing material. Topics include:

• The versatility of aluminum in window and door applications.
• The strengths of aluminum in window and door products, versus other materials.
• How to leverage the ‘green’ characteristics and properties of aluminum in your designs.
• What design and performance advantages aluminum has to offer over other materials.

This AIA-approved continuing education course focuses on how advancements in the production and design of custom aluminum extrusions, combined with innovative thermal barrier materials, create energy saving window and door systems that increase healthy indoor air quality and improve safety, sustainability, and aesthetics in commercial and residential applications.
