The Advantages of Aluminium Extrusion Profiles

One of the most flexible and convenient windows is the tilt-and-turn window. Operated by a multi-functional handle, they have two opening options. One is where the window tilts inwards from the bottom for ventilation. Then, closing the window and rotating the handle in the opposite direction allows the entire opening element to swing into the room.

Top swing reversible windows are also mainly used in high-rise buildings, but they could be worth considering for the home. Essentially, these operate in precisely the same way as top-hung casement windows, but they use a very sophisticated friction-stay mechanism. The window is opened to its normal opening position and then stops as a standard opened window.  Upon releasing a catch on the friction stays, the window continues to open out still further and reverses back on itself, bringing the outside pane to the inside.

Optimum Safety

One of the most common uses of decorative cast iron elements is in building facades. From ornate column capitals to elaborate window grilles, these elements can transform a plain building into a work of art. The intricate patterns and designs add a touch of sophistication and grandeur to any structure, making it stand out from the rest.

While cast iron can be used to duplicate specific patterns and historical designs very precisely on a larger scale (specifically designs with a great degree of ornate detail), wrought iron is generally more highly sought after for its one-of-a-kind bespoke craftsmanship. Wrought iron is ideal for a statement piece: each work is hand-forged by trained artisans and the resulting product can be shaped and formed to your exact specifications in ways that make them truly stand out from less custom-fabricated materials.
