Choosen Wooden Frame

Along with the changing times, we are more pleased with a practical and doable. Just as in building a house, something that is more easily applied will tend to be selected by the consumer. We only know the first frame from wood base materials. For the time being with the development era wooden frames can be replaced with aluminum frames. Moreover, as we all know that if more and more wood is used the less the amount of wood left in the woods there, and this led to unfavorable environmental impacts, such as global warming, soil erosion and water catchment areas would also decrease. To that of aluminum frames is to be one alternative to the use of wooden frames. But is this the aluminum frame can really challenge the existence of age and replace the wood frame? Here are some of the weaknesses and strengths of the aluminum frame and wood frame.
Aluminum Frame
Pros:A. Resistant porous, it is not possible to be eaten by termites.2. Aluminum which are more durable, anti-termite, and do not shrink like wood, will not experience shrinkage and changes in shape / curve due to weather changes.3. Appearance of the aluminum frame can be painted or covered with wood color that resembles wood motif even wood.4. Designs can be made to order. The advantages of aluminum frame is light weight and strong so easily moved. Maintenance is simple to appeal to buyers in addition to the quality of aluminum material.5. Economically, in terms of the cost of the manufacture, installation and maintenance to cheaper aluminum frames because it is more durable.
Weaknesses:A. Variations are limited, because it is a factory standard, limited to the shape of classical minimalism and Europe.2. Installation by using the Fischer system. This technique relies on the strength of diborkan fischer screws and planted along the frame against the wall around the door frame that has been plastered neatly and very accurate size and angle of the elbow. For this installation technique, if something goes wrong in the installation, it can be fatal.3. The assembly of aluminum frames paired the strength of the screws that attach to the walls must be fitted with precision made and plastered neatly to avoid leaks and other errors. Do not choose a low-quality aluminum frame, because it can easily expands as the temperature changes drastically as a framed glass can be easily separated.4. Poor connection at the elbow or the glass can cause rain water to enter, because the splicing factors and the 'sealant' or the rubber seal between the glass and aluminum must be of high quality and durable materials so that water does not easily fit into the frame or into the room. Basically the problem is not a problem sealant on aluminum frames because aluminum is not affected water.Wood Frame
Pros:A. The existence of a wide variety of forms as needed (traditional, modern, minimalist, classical, etc.)2. Wooden frames can be applied to any type of home design.3. timber has advantages compared with other material that conformed to the natural look of wood species4. A lot of strong wood materials by type such as teak, capers, or ironwood, through a process of good pengovenan.5. Wood is flexible to fit design changed its shape, such as straight or curved shape, and can withstand heat or cold from the outdoors6. The house will look more natural with the ornaments / wooden frames.
Weaknesses:A. It is currently difficult to obtain good quality wood.2. Easily eaten by termites, the treatment periodically with paint or coating to remain durable and absorbs water, causing the volume of timber may vary. As a result, doors or windows difficult to open because one of its corners expands3. wood used for the horses, gording, rafters and battens on the roof may experience a 'twist' timber when the timber used is of less quality.4. More expensive than aluminum, in terms of the cost of the manufacture, installation and maintenance for timber frame is more expensive because of age is limited.
All choices come back to us, if we prefer to use wooden frames then we must know the risk or the merits of using this wood frame, and vice versa if you prefer to use an aluminum frame.
