Below is the most practical and reliable guide to buying aluminum alloy windows and doors.
SGL will help you understand all the key points at once.
Profile Wall Thickness: Don't be fooled by "false labeling"
The profile wall thickness determines the strength, stability, and wind pressure resistance of windows and doors, and is a core component of aluminum alloy windows and doors. The national standard wall thickness is ≥1.4mm, and high-quality brands generally achieve 1.4–1.6mm, which is completely sufficient for home use. Inferior brands often use "non-standard" specifications, quoting the thickest point, but the actual thickness does not meet the standard.
Window Frame Width: Affects Sound Insulation and Overall Stability
The numbers 60, 65, and 70 often mentioned in our industry refer not to the model, but to the width of the window frame (including the thermal break strip).
For example: 60 series = 60mm window frame
The wider the window frame, the stronger the overall stability and the better the sound and heat insulation effect.
The 60 or 65 series is usually sufficient for home use. If you live on a high floor or in a windy area, the 70 series is recommended.
Glass Configuration: A Key Factor in Sound and Heat Insulation

The type of glass directly determines sound insulation, heat insulation, and safety performance. SGL recommends tempered glass as the first choice to ensure glass safety. Secondly, we recommend double-glazed glass, such as 5 + 15A + 5 (5mm tempered glass + 15mm air gap + 5mm tempered glass).
If you live near a noisy road, you can upgrade to triple-glazed glass (double-cavity), which provides significantly better sound insulation.
Hardware Accessories: Determining the Lifespan of Aluminum Alloy Doors and Windows
-
Hardware is the "soul component" of doors and windows, including hinges, handles, stays, and locking systems. The better the hardware, the longer the lifespan of the doors and windows and the smoother the user experience. If your budget allows, prioritize branded hardware; it is not recommended to purchase extremely low-cost, unbranded products.
Thermal break strip material: A key factor in determining whether aluminum alloy windows and doors are qualified.
The thermal break strip is the core material responsible for thermal insulation in aluminum alloy windows and doors. It must be made of PA66 nylon (the national standard specified material), which is heat-resistant, resistant to aging, and provides strong thermal insulation. PVC thermal break strips should never be used (commonly found in counterfeit products).
SGL's high-quality thermal break aluminum doors and windows not only provide sound and heat insulation, but also enhance home security and living comfort, making them a worthwhile investment.
