Most of us will think of aluminium windows and doors as being the ultimate choice for superb visual appeal, long term performance with no maintenance and resistance to the harshest of weather conditions. But while aluminium does not ‘rust’ – that term refers only to iron and its alloys like steel – putting it in contact with other types of metal can lead to costly corrosion issues.
Advanced locking systems, hinges, friction stays and ancillary products designed to deliver enhanced security windows and doors could be ineffective if the wrong type of fasteners are used and PAS 24 testing fails.
Fasteners used to manufacture and install windows and doors are instrumental in how well the installed product will look, function and perform long-term. Choose them well and you’ll save a lot of time and hassle, as well ensuring high customer satisfaction ratings.
