Plastic steel windows and metal windows are both common types of windows that people often see, and their performance is very superior; But many people cannot distinguish the difference between plastic steel windows and metal windows, so they are very indecisive when choosing; In fact, whether it is a plastic steel window or a metal window, what suits oneself is the best, so people only need to choose according to their own needs. Let’s take a look at the differences between plastic steel windows and metal windows, so that people can better understand their needs.
Difference in lifespan
Plastic steel windows are essentially made of plastic, and metal windows are mainly made of metal, so many people believe that the service life of metal windows is definitely longer than that of plastic steel windows.
In fact, the service life of qualified plastic steel windows is equivalent to that of metal windows; Because plastic steel belongs to rigid plastics and is lined with steel in the middle, it will not be corroded in the later stage; On the other hand, metal windows are prone to rusting and are easily corroded by moisture in the air; So overall, the lifespan of plastic steel windows is equivalent to that of metal windows.
Difference in insulation
Thermal insulation is one of the biggest functions of windows and also one of the reasons that affect people’s quality of life. Therefore, whether windows are insulated or not determines people’s quality of life.
The insulation performance of plastic steel windows and metal windows is different; The insulation effect of plastic steel windows is much better than that of metal windows; Because the thermal conductivity of plastic steel windows is 1/357 of that of bridge cut aluminum and 1/1250 of that of steel.
The same 100 square meter room, the same double glass windows, the same installation process, the same power of air conditioning, the temperature of indoor plastic steel windows in winter is 5 degrees higher than that of bridge cut aluminum windows. 5 degrees lower in summer.
Difference in sound insulation
Nowadays, people are experiencing various types of pollution, such as air pollution, noise pollution, etc; Noise pollution can directly affect people’s lives, studies, and work, causing poor sleep and mental health. Long term exposure to noisy environments may even lead to mild depression.
Plastic steel windows can reduce noise by 30 decibels, while metal windows can only reduce noise by 18 decibels; Because plastic steel itself is not sensitive to sound penetration, and it has a multi cavity design, noise will be repeatedly refracted, cancelled, and absorbed inside the cavity, thus achieving the purpose of sound insulation.
