Want a good reason to get aluminium frames? We give you 4 more!
Break free from the clichés and change your old window frames!
In our daily conversations we all use phrases that have become well-established as a distillation of our collective wisdom. Some of these sayings are so deeply woven into our shared experience that they express widely accepted truths. In this article, with a touch of humor,
a subversive mood and respect for our oral history, we present 10+1 phrases from proverbs and well-known sayings, which you may need to rethink and revisit when it comes to your home’s window and door frames!
"Out with the old (frame) and in with the new”
If your old frames have started losing their mechanical properties, they create problems in your daily life.
"More haste, less speed"
Are you aware of frames with a low track (threshold)for easy access; With these it's hard to trip, no matter how much you hurry!
"At some point I might change frames. Better late than never."
The longer you delay, the more energy-intensive your home becomes and you miss out on subsidy opportunities from schemes such as the "Exoikonomo" energy saving program.
"It was a good (frame), it didn't cause any trouble!"
Until it did cause trouble and now your living room in the winter fells like an Eskimo’s house. A proper igloo!
"I won't change my favorite team"
Yes, but what about your old frames? There's no room for fan clubs here!
"Good things happen when you least expect them"
Correct. But if you wait too long, some things break down, like frames... Maybe you should do a little research to find one that meets your needs?
"And when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it"
Well said Coelho, but your "piggy bank" might have a different opinion.
"Honey, it's not what you think!"
Well, actually...it is! Replace your old frames with new ones that offer better thermal insulation and give her the surprise of a lifetime!
"Tell me who your friends are, and I'll tell you who you are"
Friendship is invaluable. But when it comes to windows and doors, it is better to trust the experts. And then share their advice with your friends!
"Knock on wood, lest any harm comes to us"
In our case, of course, you’d better “knock”... on aluminium, because with modern aluminium systems, you can rest easy!
"Wisdom does come with age after all..."
If it's time to replace your old frames, it's never too late!
The next steps
Maybe, indeed, the time has come to part with your old frames. There are many excuses not to do it. However, the sooner you move on to replacing frames hat have problems, the more money you save - new insulating frames are equivalent to less energy losses - and at the same time improve the daily living conditions inside your home. Especially in a period of generalized energy crisis, with any improvement in the situation not foreseen, proceeding with the purchase and installation of modern aluminium frames is an advantageous and efficient investment in the long term.
After all, as our wise people say... "Waste not, want not"!
