Broken Bridge Windows - FAQ Section
What makes broken bridge windows more energy efficient than regular windows?
Broken bridge windows feature a thermal break created by polyamide strips that separate the interior and exterior aluminum frames, preventing thermal transfer. This innovative design significantly reduces heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer. Combined with high-performance glazing, they can achieve U-values up to 1.2 W/m²K, making them 40-60% more energy efficient than standard aluminum windows.
How do broken bridge windows compare to other window types in terms of maintenance?
Our broken bridge windows require minimal maintenance compared to wooden windows that need regular painting or uPVC windows that may discolor over time. The aluminum frames are powder-coated for superior durability and only need occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. The thermal break materials are designed to last the lifetime of the window without degradation.
Installation Options
We offer multiple installation types to suit different architectural requirements:
- Flush fit installation (for modern buildings)
- Rebated installation (for traditional properties)
- Structural glazing options
- Corner post solutions for large openings
Broken Bridge Windows - FAQ Section
Are broken bridge windows suitable for coastal areas with high salinity?
Absolutely. Our broken bridge windows undergo special surface treatments including marine-grade anodization and powder coatings that provide exceptional resistance to salt corrosion. The thermal break materials are also specifically formulated to withstand harsh coastal environments. We recommend our 316 stainless steel hardware package for coastal installations to ensure maximum longevity.
