Aluminum
Aluminum is a tough and long-lasting material that is ideal for creating windows and doors that require minimal upkeep. DEMED specifically uses extruded aluminum, which is thicker and stronger than regular roll-form aluminum. This added strength and durability enhance the overall performance of the windows and doors.
BENEFITS OF EXTRUDED ALUMINIUM

Ideal for harsh weather conditions like hail, hurricanes, and tropical storms

WHY CHOOSE DEMED EXTRUDED ALUMINUM WINDOWS AND DOORS
Durability
Aluminum provides strength and helps maintain product integrity even in severe weather.
Smooth, consistent finish
Demed's process ensures a premium finish for aluminum windows and doors.
Design aesthetics
Extruded aluminum allows for precise shaping and offers a wide range of design options.
-
Extruded aluminum is stronger and more durable than roll-form aluminum. Thinner aluminum, like roll-form, is more prone to dents and lacks the structural performance of extruded aluminum.
-
The smooth 70% PVDF fluoropolymer acrylic enamel finish feels sleek to the touch, setting it apart from the rough textures found on other aluminum products. This high-quality finish meets the rigorous standards of the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) 2605. The PVDF finish is chemically bonded to the aluminum during manufacturing and is the standard for all Ultimate and select Coastline finishes.
-
Some manufacturers opt for lower-quality materials on certain parts to cut costs, resulting in faster wear and tear, color fading, and inconsistent weather resistance.
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ALUMINUM AND VINYL WINDOWS AND DOORS?
Aluminum and vinyl are distinct materials, each with its own characteristics. Vinyl is a plastic-based composite that does not break down naturally, while aluminum is a metal that can be recycled.
Aluminum windows offer greater design flexibility and customization options, giving them a high-end appearance. They also tend to last longer than vinyl windows and doors because aluminum is a stronger, superior material. Vinyl may deteriorate over time, becoming brittle or compromised by extreme temperature changes. For more information, reach out to your nearest Demed dealer.
HOW LONG DO ALUMINUM WINDOWS AND DOORS LAST?
Aluminum and aluminum-clad windows and doors are built to be highly durable and require minimal upkeep. Regular maintenance, such as cleaning and inspections, can help prolong their lifespan. Use a gentle brush with water to remove dirt, bugs, and grime. Before using any cleaning solutions, test them on a hidden spot and rinse thoroughly with water. The longevity of your aluminum windows and doors may be influenced by the climate in your area. Reach out to your nearby Demed dealer to determine if aluminum windows and doors are a suitable choice for you.
