4. Can aluminum windows corrode?
No, as long as we do not damage them. On the other hand, if we somehow scratch off the layer of protective varnish and weather conditions conducive to corrosion persist for a long time, such a reaction will occur.
It is worth remembering that aluminum should also not come into contact with metals such as brass, steel or copper, because then it undergoes contact corrosion.
To prevent corrosion, you can use:
- seaside paint (which is additionally corrosion resistant),
- anodizing profiles instead of powder coating (a process that further protects aluminum from corrosion).
At debesto we offer anodized profiles, ask your advisor about them.

In addition, they do not expand when exposed to temperature as much as PVC or wooden windows.
7. Are energy-efficient aluminum windows also applicable in warm climates?
