Aluminium profiles are shapes extruded from aluminium, which is a lightweight, strong and versatile material. These profiles have unique properties such as corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratios and ease of fabrication, making them ideal for making low-maintenance, long-lasting windows and doors.Casa View Living will select quality aluminium profiles for you.
European Standard 6060 Aluminium Alloy
The most important characteristics of aluminum alloy 6060 are moderate strength, excellent cold forming properties, corrosion resistance and weldability. Aluminum 6060 is a heat treatable alloy and is often used in complex cross sections.
What is the 6060-T66 aluminum alloy?
6060-T66 aluminum is 6060 aluminum in the T66 temper. To achieve this temper, the metal is solution heat-treated and artificially aged, higher strength, average mechanical performance is higher than T6 under 20-30Mpa condition [T66 is in T6 (solid solution strengthening + fully artificial aging) condition, strengthened by special process status.
Advantages of 6060-T66 aluminum alloy
- Good cold workability, medium hardness
- Good weldability and plasticity
- Excellent corrosion resistance and toughness
- Easy to polish and color film
- Stable performance and low deformation
- Good anodisability
Why We Choose 6060-T66 Aluminum Windows and Doors?

2.Corrosion Resistance
For acid rain weather or contact with other corrosive substances, still intact.
3.Stable Performance
Stronger impact resistance, wind pressure resistance, load bearing performance and safety performance.
4.Aesthetic Design
Can be precisely extruded and cut into perfect shapes.
What's the Difference Between Aluminum and Wooden Windows and Doors?
Aluminium and wood are two completely different materials, each with their own unique qualities. Wood is a natural organic composite material. Aluminium is a metallic material that can be recycled.
Aluminium windows and doors are best suited to those who are looking for durability, low maintenance and a modern look. They offer good value and can achieve energy savings. Wood windows and doors are best suited for people who are interested in aesthetics, natural insulation, and tradition. Wood windows and doors require more maintenance, but can add significant character and warmth to a home. For this reason we prefer to recommend aluminium, and we can paint your aluminium profiles in wood colours.
How Long do Aluminum Windows and Doors Last?
Aluminum windows and doors are known for their durability and long lifespan. Aluminum windows and doors generally offer a long service life, often lasting several decades with minimal maintenance. With good care and proper installation, they can remain functional and aesthetically pleasing for up to 45 years or more. During routine maintenance, use a soft brush with clear water to remove any bugs, grime, dirt, or dust. Before using any cleaners, test the solution on a hidden area then clean with a thorough water rinse.
