Door and window installations

Doors and windows are essential in any building and one of the biggest investments a homeowner has to make during construction.

Windows and doors are defined as the elements used to close an opening in the walls of a building. They are an essential part of every house and any building, and their construction needs to be such, so as to protect the space from severe weather conditions. In fact, windows, doors, frames and shutters are what mostly determine the energy efficiency of a home or business space.

Doors, and also windows, are separated into two main categories, namely interior and exterior. In particular, interior doors are mainly used to separate the rooms within a space, while exterior doors (entry doors and patio doors), and windows offer natural lighting, some exit, or even a view.

On top of the exterior/interior classification, doors and windows fall into various other smaller categories, depending on their material or shutter operation. The choice you should make for your own space depends on several factors. If you do not know which will serve you best, our specialized staff will guide you in the right direction.

In every window and door installation project, Smart Building company ensures maximum benefits tailored to the particularities of the space, with high aesthetic results. Below you can find useful information on various types of doors and windows and their distinct advantages.

Aluminum doors and windows

Aluminum doors and windows are arguably the most popular choice due to their incomparable advantages: high quality, excellent heat and sound insulation and inviting aesthetics. They are made of top-quality aluminium which adds to the overall style of your space.

Our staff undertakes the installation of aluminum windows and doors according to the highest requirements, ensuring the best results for your building. Thanks to their built-in durability, this type of doors/windows offer a great deal of security. In addition, they last intact for many years, since aluminum is not at all affected by weather conditions or sun radiation.

Aluminum doors, depending on their shutter operation, are divided into three sub-categories: hinged doors, bypass sliding doors and pocket sliding doors. Let’s take a closer look at each type of door.

Aluminum hinged doors & windows

Aluminum hinged doors and windows are the most popular window/door category for homes, offices and all kinds of buildings. The construction of the specific category can include one, two, or even more layers and their mode of operation is the classic door opening or in tilt.

One of the main reasons why these doors/windows are so widely used is their ease of use. On top of it, they offer high levels of security when locked, and they also demonstrate high resistance to moisture conditions. In addition, hinged doors and windows can easily be fitted with blinds and screens.

Bypass sliding doors

Bypass sliding doors are also a popular category since they fit well in small spaces where it’s not possible to have large door openings. Their construction usually includes two layers parallel to each other. This type of sliding doors can be slid open by pushing one door (layer) to one side, behind the other. Although the majority of this type of sliding door consists of two doors/layers, there is no limitation, as more can be added, depending on the needs of the space.

Pocket sliding doors

The pocket sliding doors follow the same philosophy as the bypass sliding type, with the difference that pocket sliding doors do not slide behind each other, but inside a wall cavity. This particular option is easy to use and saves space, and it’s one of the most popular aluminum door types.

Composite doors and windows

Synthetic PVC doors and windows are a door category with increasing demand in recent years. The main reasons are very affordable prices, reliability and guaranteed results. Synthetic doors/windows are particularly resistant to extreme temperatures and fire. They have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance.

In fact, the type of synthetic material used is a poor conductor of heat, ensuring significant protection against temperature changes. This in turn will increase the energy efficiency of the space and reduce the cost of fuel consumption.

Simply put, the reasons why you should choose synthetic windows and doors are the ease of use, high energy efficiency, long lifespan with minimal maintenance, a wide variety of finishes to choose from and, of course, a very affordable cost.

Hinged synthetic doors and windows

In the category of synthetic windows and doors, property owners mostly prefer the hinged type due to the maximum thermal insulation they offer. On top of it, this “classic” way of door opening is convenient and it’s what most people are used to.

If you too want to take advantage of the enormous advantages offered by hinged synthetic doors and windows, you can contact our specialized professionals at any time. After making a study and plan of your space, we will recommend the most suitable and efficient solution based on your own needs.

Wooden doors and windows

Wooden doors and windows are one of the best choices in terms of aesthetics. The luxury feeling of wood and the wide variety of designs you can choose from are sure to give your building a significant aesthetic upgrade. In addition, wood has poor heat conductivity, which ensures excellent temperature in interior spaces.

Although wooden frames are a top solution, they come with two main disadvantages. The first is their initial cost being higher than other categories of doors and windows. The second is their need for regular maintenance, due to the fact that wood is more vulnerable to moisture.

In fact, if maintenance is something that you fear for this particular choice, our specialized professionals will take care to impregnate the wood of the frames with a special paint that will ensure their maximum resistance over time, preserving the look of the wood as first day.
