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.
The type of aluminum material used for windows and doors profiles undergo extrusion process. During the process, they are taken through aging, which is a process for strengthening and enhancing the material’s elasticity.
Anodizing
Anodizing cannot peel off. The coating is part of the metal. Anodizing gives aluminum a deeper, richer metallic appearance than is possible with organic coatings. This is because an anodized coating is translucent, and one can see the base metal underneath the coating. Anodizing provides a thin aluminum oxide layer, which will deteriorate over time. Depending on the thickness and quality of the anodization, the surface should last 10-20 years.
