The Need for Plastic Window & Door Parts
Window and door components must be designed and constructed for durability.This requirement is especially important if they will be installed on exterior walls and/or in environments with harsh conditions.That's why it is essential to choose the material and manufacturing method for a window and door project carefully.Otherwise, the finished components may not be able to perform as expected within the application.
Plastic injection molding is widely used throughout the window and door industry.It involves heating and melting plastic, injecting the molten material into custom molds at high pressures, and allowing it to cool until it can hold its form.This versatile manufacturing process can be used to turn a wide range of plastics into various parts and products.Additionally, it offers several advantages over other methods, such as broader design freedom, better repeatability, lower labor costs, greater production capacities, smaller waste generation, and more, all of which can save window and door customer's time and money.
Benefits of Plastic Parts for the Window & Door Industry
As indicated above, there are many advantages to using plastic injection molding for manufacturing parts and products for the window and door industry.Below, we highlight some of the benefits of using plastic injection molded components over those made from other materials.
- They can be made in a variety of materials to suit different needs.Plastic resins can be used as alternative construction materials for many metal components.If chosen carefully, they offer high reliability within the intended application at lower costs.Since there are many types available, manufacturers can easily select one that suits the exact requirements and restrictions of the application (e.g., weatherability or thermal stability).
- They minimize or eliminate the chance of corrosion.Unlike metal components, plastic components are not susceptible to corrosion.This quality enables them to be used in applications and environments where exposure to water and/or harsh chemicals is expected, making them ideal for external windows and doors.
- They reduce the costs of assembly, installation, and transportation.The plastic injection molding process can be used to simplify the production of existing components.By using carefully engineered molds, manufacturers can turn a multi-piece component into a one-piece component, reducing the amount of work needed and, consequently, the cost of assembly and installation.Additionally, since plastic is much lighter than other materials, components made from it are also much easier and, therefore, cheaper to handle and ship.
- They are available in high volumes at low costs.The plastic injection molding process is most cost-effective for manufacturing projects involving high production volumes.
