Material Quality | High-traffic commercial spaces | Industry: Basic aluminum (ASTM B221 Grade 6063) ▲ Base: 6063-T5 alloy (ASTM B221) ▲ Advanced: Steel-reinforced alloy (ASTM A36) | Enhanced durability and longevity; 2x corrosion resistance (▲▲) | Advanced versions may require stronger structural support due to weight |
Noise Reduction | Open-plan offices, noisy urban areas | Industry: 30 dBA (standard sliding doors) ▲ Base: 35 dBA (STC 30) ▲ Advanced: 40 dBA (STC 35) | Blocks 90% outdoor noise (▲▲); STC 35 meets office privacy standards | Thicker frames in advanced models may limit design flexibility |
Thermal Efficiency | Energy-conscious households | Industry: Single-pane (U-value 0.5) ▲ Base: Double-glazed low-E (U-value 0.3, ASTM C1363) ▲ Advanced: Triple-pane + thermal break (U-value 0.25) | Cuts heating/cooling costs by 30% (▲▲); 0.25 U-value meets Passive House specs | Triple-pane increases weight and installation complexity |
Design Flexibility | Custom home builds, modern architecture | Industry: Standard sizes only ▲ Base: Custom sizes (up to 3m) ▲ Advanced: Full customization (colors, graphic patterns) | Matches unique architectural visions (▲▲); etched/matte finishes available | Custom orders may require extended lead times |
Durability | Coastal areas, industrial facilities | Industry: 200-hour salt spray resistance (ASTM B117) ▲ Base: 400-hour resistance ▲ Advanced: 600-hour + steel reinforcement | Withstands 10+ years of coastal exposure (▲▲); steel core resists heavy wear | Advanced versions may need professional installation |
Warranty | Long-term commercial investments | Industry: 2-year warranty ▲ Base: 5-year warranty ▲ Advanced: 10-year warranty (ASTM E1300) | 10-year coverage for structural defects (▲▲); ideal for large-scale projects | Extended warranties require adherence to maintenance protocols |
