Aluminum windows have a number of drawbacks as well, except those numerous benefits. Aluminum windows are prone to dents and scratches. However, the worst downside of ordinary aluminum windows is that they aren’t very energy efficient. Aluminum readily conducts heat and cold. In cold weather, home's heat seeps out through the sash and frame. Today, better quality aluminum windows, equipped with a strip made of PA, usually called thermal break, separate the interior and exterior frames to achieve better energy performance. These are known as thermally-improved aluminum windows.
