Securing the balcony is a highly important issue in home renovation, and the cost of balcony enclosure depends entirely on the materials used. From a pricing perspective, which material would be the most suitable for enclosing a balcony?
Currently, the main materials used for balcony enclosures on the building materials market include PVC windows and doors, aluminum-clad wood windows and doors, thermally broken aluminum windows and doors, and aluminum alloy windows and doors. Here's a detailed introduction for everyone:
1. PVC Windows:
Plastic-steel windows offer excellent weather resistance, as well as good insulation and soundproofing properties. However, plastic-steel materials come in limited color options, lack sufficient strength, and aren’t very resistant to wind pressure. If the windows aren’t closed properly during strong winds, they can easily get damaged. Additionally, these windows don’t last very long and tend to fade over time. Despite these drawbacks, plastic-steel remains a popular choice for balcony enclosures due to its affordability.
2. Aluminum Alloy Windows:
Aluminum alloy windows offer excellent weather resistance and anti-aging properties, but their insulation performance is less than ideal. As for color options, they’re limited to just white and brown. Since aluminum is a highly conductive material, it leads to unnecessary energy loss—especially in summer, when even with air conditioning running, it’s hard to cool down the room effectively. This happens because aluminum windows continuously transfer outdoor heat into the interior. Similarly, in winter, it’s challenging to keep the space warm. Nevertheless, aluminum alloy windows remain one of the more affordable materials for balcony enclosures.
3. Thermal Break Aluminum Windows:
Aluminum with thermal breaks is sturdy and durable, and its composite structure also effectively blocks the transfer of heat, making it an ideal choice for balcony enclosures. However, opting for aluminum with thermal breaks as the material for your balcony enclosure will result in a higher price. Additionally, non-standard window designs typically have longer production times and are heavier, requiring more precise installation techniques compared to materials used for standard windows.
4. Aluminum-clad Wood Windows
Aluminum-clad wood windows are relatively expensive, making them a "luxury" product in the window and door industry. The standout features of aluminum-clad wood doors and windows include exceptional thermal insulation, energy efficiency, resistance to wind and sand, and stunning aesthetics! By combining solid wood with an outer layer of thermally broken aluminum alloy, these products achieve superior sealing performance. In scorching summer heat, they effectively block outdoor swelter, minimizing indoor air-conditioning loss. And during chilly winter months, they prevent ice formation and condensation while keeping noise from infiltrating your home.
Friends who love wood-inspired interior designs will definitely not overlook aluminum-clad wooden windows—especially if their budget allows.
Above is the editor's macro-level price comparison based on window and door materials. Here, we'd like to remind everyone that while balcony enclosure prices may seem like the primary factor when making a choice, it’s equally important to select balcony materials of high quality based on your family’s specific needs.
