Benefits of Aluminum Windows
High Sound Insulation (up to 38 dB reduction)
Qwind systems utilize advanced glazing options such as DGU (Double Glazed Units), DGU laminated, and sentry laminated glass. These configurations can provide sound reduction levels of up to 38 dB, effectively minimizing external noise and enhancing indoor comfort.
Wind and Water Pressure Resistance
Qwind’s aluminum window systems are tested for high performance under extreme weather conditions. For example, the SL-19 system can withstand wind pressure up to 3 KPa, with air infiltration at 300 Pa and water penetration resistance at 390 Pa. These specifications ensure reliable performance even in torrential rain regions.
Low Maintenance
Qwind windows are designed with features such as auto-clean brushes located between roller bearing cages. These brushes help in removing accumulated dust from tracks, significantly reducing manual cleaning efforts.
Dust Resistance
To prevent the entry of dust and air, Qwind systems incorporate a three-fin wool pile—a high-quality sealing brush that ensures tight closures at shutter edges and sliding tracks.
Long-Term Durability
Made from 6063 aluminum alloy and equipped with 304-grade stainless steel components, including roller bearings and rails, Qwind windows offer long-lasting structural integrity. Additionally, optional anodize, powder coating, PVDF coating, and wood-effect finishes enhance both lifespan and appearance.
Modern Aesthetic Appeal
Slim interlocks (as narrow as 19mm in the Slender Series), hidden bottom tracks, and minimal sightlines contribute to a clean, modern design. The cover profile further enhances aesthetics by concealing the fixed shutter track while adding protection from air, dust, and water.
Sustainable Materials and Practices
Qwind emphasizes responsible material usage and sustainability across its processes. The company follows practices that support environmental, social, and economic responsibility—reflected in its product design, material selection, and long-term durability.

Aluminum Doors and Windows vs Traditional Methods
Feature | Qwind Aluminum Systems | Traditional Materials |
---|---|---|
Sound Insulation | Qwind systems support DGU, laminated, and sentry laminatedglass options, achieving sound insulation of up to 38 dB, especially in models like SL-19 and SD-40 Façade. | Traditional materials typically use single-glazed glass, offering limited sound reduction. |
Water & Wind Resistance | Systems like SL-19 are tested for wind pressure up to 3 KPa, water penetration resistance at 390 Pa, and air infiltration at 300 Pa. | Traditional wooden or basic systems are less resistant to high pressure and moisture. |
Maintenance | Qwind incorporates auto-clean brushes, cover profiles, dust-resistant wool pile, and stainless steel tracks, ensuring minimal maintenance. | Traditional materials, particularly wood, require frequent painting, cleaning, and upkeep. |
Design Flexibility | Offers slim sightlines (as narrow as 15mm), hidden bottom tracks, corner openings, and a variety of opening styles and finishes. | Traditional systems are limited in customization due to structural and design constraints. |
Durability | Made from 6063 aluminum alloy and S.S 304 grade components for long-term performance, resistant to rust, warping, and deformation. | Wood and mild steel are more prone to damage from moisture, termites, and time. |
Eco-Friendly | Qwind emphasizes responsible handling of raw materials and supports sustainable practices across its manufacturing. | Environmental friendliness varies widely depending on material and sourcing. |
Security | Offers multi-locking systems, integrated mosquito mesh, and optional safety grills (16mm MS round bars in grilled series). | Security depends on the base material and add-ons, often requiring external upgrades. |
