Thermal Performance
thermally efficient windows and doors
Our aluminium windows and doors are built with thermal breaks and modern technology. This reduces heat transfer and makes them an excellent upgrade for your home. Learn exactly what U-values mean and how thermally efficient aluminium double glazing can save you money in the long run.
what is a u-value?
You may have heard the term U-value before. Simply put, this measures how well a building component measures heat transfer. The lower the U-value, the slower or more difficult it is for heat to pass through the window or door. All elements of the window or door can be assessed, including the glass, frame, panel and more.
U-values are measured in W/m2K. We work alongside reputable manufacturers who provide certifiable U-values you can trust. Our aluminium windows and doors are designed to meet and exceed modern building regulations.
InsuLock technology
Inside every Endurance product is an innovative multi-chamber thermal core. Our systems have been tested for performance, achieving brilliant U-values to keep your home warm through the winter.
THERMAL BENEFITS OF ALUMINIUM
THERMAL BREAK TECHNOLOGY
Thermal breaks prevent heat from flowing through the material and help provide a lower U-value and improved energy efficiency.
DOUBLE, OR TRIPLE GLAZED UNITS
Double or triple glazing will improve aluminium’s thermal benefits. In addition, quality glazing offers soundproofing and security benefits that are well worth the upgrade.
THERMAL STABILITY
With thermal breaks and a multi-chamber core, our aluminium is much more thermally stable than other competitor products.
REDUCED HEAT TRANSFER
Our aluminium windows and doors’ multi-chamber cores reduce heat transfer in the winter but keep you cool and comfortable in the summer.
aluminium
VS PVC
With modern technology, the thermal benefits of aluminium are comparable with uPVC- traditionally a better insulator. Aluminium is also stronger, more durable, and an ideal choice for modern homes. Compare the difference in aesthetics below.
BENEFITS OF A THERMALLY EFFICIENT HOME
A thermally enhanced aluminium window or door designed to reduce heat transfer means you won’t need to worry about turning up the heating during the colder months.
Reduced energy bills
Reduced carbon footprint
Increased home comfort
Reduced condensation build up

Doesn’t aluminium lose heat quickly?
Aluminium is a highly conductive metal; however, with modern thermal break technology and our quality systems, you won’t notice a difference between this and any other material.
How long does aluminium last?
Aluminium windows and doors can last up to 30-40 years, making them a cost-effective solution in the long run over less durable materials like uPVC.
Do aluminium windows get condensation?
Quality double and triple glazing is best to avoid condensation buildup in any window. Contact us to discuss options for your home.
