ABSTRACT
Privacy and security are major essential
human needs in various homes, offices e.t.c. Accessibility to adequate, durable,
fashionable and affordable windows in our different buildings has been a
problem to the society. Ability to have access to window of good quality and
high durability of a price affordable to an average Nigerian has been a problem.
This
project here aims at production of a durable aluminium window. The aluminium
window was subjected to different test, it was found to be efficient and has
strength to provide adequate security at affordable price.

1.0 INTRODUCTION OF ALUMINIUM WINDOW
Windows are possibly
most complex and interesting element in residential design. Today’s energy
efficient window can dramatically decrease the heating and cooling costs while
increasing the occupant comfort and minimizing window surface condensation
problem. In recent years there have been the advances in windows of both new
construction and retrofits. High performance windows system may be considered
as one of the key factors for reaching sustainable building design challenge,
by decreasing heating, cooling energy use and they also contribute to national
and global effort to reduce the environmental impacts on non-renewable energy
use.
They
are many complex issue that are difficult to balance in selection the best
window for sustainable practices and therefore it is not very easy to reach the
best window option that provide the maximum energy and cost efficiency while
achieving visual and thermal comfort. The energy saving potential of a window
is strongly dependent on a large number of variable for instance climate,
thermal and geometrical characteristics of the building in which window is
installed. Formally window are made with glass and wood this did not give us
standard and security nor meet the want of people wood or glass window give a
short life span. They are destroyed very quickly and they cannot withstand an
high degree of strain. Also wooden window are very risky to put at open place
as a result of it component which is not friendly with water not only that it
cannot be used in a place where there is termite.
It
was this that made the technologist rise up and decided to have an alternative
means of making window which give birth to aluminum windows that proved to give
a long time life span.
These
aluminum windows are in various designs which are as follows, casement aluminum
window, awning aluminum window, e.t.c. Through aluminium window other designs
have met the want of people, it gives a maximum security and also very decent
in looking.
1.1 THE NEED FOR ALUMINUM WINDOW
i.
To give views to the outside so that you
can keep an eye on your kids playing in the backyard or avoid-vacuum-carrying
salesman coming to your front door

iii.
To keep out wintery drafts or summer’s
heat
iv.
To look good from the outside
