Quality Beyond the Standard with IKON AlUMINIUM™

1. Ideal Mechanical Properties: 6063 aluminium offers a good balance of strength, flexibility, and weight, making it ideal for window frames which require both durability and ease of handling and installation. Its ability to undergo the extrusion process makes it perfect for complex cross-sections needed in window designs.
2. Superior Finish Quality: When it comes to aesthetics, 6063 aluminium provides a smooth surface that is easier to anodize or paint. This results in a higher-quality finish that not only enhances the appearance but also increases the resistance to corrosion and wear.
3. High Corrosion Resistance: Windows are exposed to various elements, making corrosion resistance a critical factor. 6063 aluminium’s excellent corrosion resistance ensures that window frames withstand environmental conditions without deteriorating, maintaining both their functionality and appearance over time.
4. Thermal Efficiency: 6063 aluminium is commonly used in the manufacture of thermal break profiles, which are essential for energy-efficient windows. These profiles help in minimizing heat transfer, thereby keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

The Risks of Using Substandard Aluminium Grades.

While some manufacturers may opt for lower grades of aluminium to cut costs, such as 6061 or other non-specified alloys, this can lead to several issues:

1. Reduced Durability and Strength: Substandard grades may not provide the same level of strength and durability as 6063, leading to structural weaknesses, potential frame deformations, or failure under normal stresses.
2. Poor Aesthetic Outcomes: Lower-grade aluminium often has issues with the finish, including inconsistencies in colour and texture after anodizing or painting, which can result in a less appealing final product.
3. Decreased Corrosion Resistance: Using inferior aluminium grades can compromise the window’s ability to resist environmental corrosion, especially in coastal areas or places with high pollution levels, potentially leading to increased maintenance costs or premature replacement.
4. Impact on Thermal Performance: Non-optimal aluminium grades may not perform as well in thermal break applications, which can affect the overall energy efficiency of a building and lead to higher utility costs.

Conclusion: Commitment to Quality with 6063 Aluminium.

IKON AlUMINIUM™ understands that the longevity, functionality, and aesthetic appeal of aluminium windows are heavily dependent on the quality of the materials used. That’s why they commit to using only 6063 aluminium for products. By ensuring the highest standards in material selection, IKON AlUMINIUM™ delivers windows that offer superior performance, durability, and beauty, standing the test of time and delivering true value to clients.

Choosing the right grade of aluminium not only supports structural integrity and efficiency but also aligns with a dedication to sustainability and customer satisfaction. When it comes to building components as crucial as windows, compromising on material quality can lead to long-term costs that far outweigh any initial savings. With IKON AlUMINIUM™, you choose excellence and assurance in every frame.
