Creating the highest quality windows is not a simple process. Many aspects go into creating windows for homes, businesses, apartments, and more. There is a level of precision that should be present in the window manufacturing process. Before you purchase just any window, learning about the process may help you understand which companies pay special attention to the details of window craftsmanship. Here is more about the materials, fabrication, and assembly of most windows.
Choosing The Right Window Material
Most window frames are made from either wood, vinyl, or aluminum. All window panes are made of some sort of glass material, but the frame and window surround are made of the following common materials.
- Wood: Wood is used for its classic appeal and natural insulation. These windows are found in traditional and upscale homes.
- Vinyl: Vinyl is lightweight and requires little maintenance. These windows are becoming more popular for new homes in recent years.
- Aluminum: Durable and resistant to corrosion. Aluminum looks best in modern and sleek home designs. They are also used in many commercial buildings.
- Fiberglass: Fiberglass combines durability and thermal efficiency. These windows are becoming a premium option in the window world.
How Are Windows Fabricated?
The next step in the window manufacturing process is to fabricate all separate parts of the window. Here is each step of the fabrication process.
Frame Fabrication
Window frames need to be extruded, molded, and cut to precise measurements. Constructing the frame will look different for every single window in a home. The shape of the window and the placement on your home will determine how long the frame manufacturing takes.
Glass Cutting
Your window glass needs to be cut with precision. Glass cutting comes after the frame fabrication because it needs to fit snugly inside the window frame. Tools like a CNC machine are used to ensure clean glass cuts are made. Cutting and fitting the glass is one of the most important steps in the window manufacturing process.
Assembly
Window frames and window glass will then be assembled. Window manufacturers will ensure that there is a proper seal and insulation to make sure your windows protect your home. Properly sealed windows will prevent unwanted moisture and air infiltration into your home that could cause major damage.
Custom Options For New Windows
Your home should be built to match your personality and needs. Windows can be customized to your size, color, and design preferences in order to serve your home. Window frames can be painted or stained, window glass can be tinted or frosted, hardware options range from locks, and handles, to hinges, and special features can also be added. The options for customizing your windows are endless and can also enhance the window’s performance.
