The issue of water leakage in aluminum alloy doors and windows is a common and persistent problem in construction projects. Over the years, this has become one of the most frequent defects associated with such products. With the rapid development of China's residential construction, the surface area of doors and windows has increased significantly, leading to more exposed parts that are vulnerable to rainwater intrusion. This has resulted in serious quality issues, causing substantial economic losses that are difficult to quantify. As a result, it becomes essential to focus on improving the waterproofing performance of aluminum alloy doors and windows by developing effective solutions and enhancing product quality. Below are the main causes of water leakage and corresponding countermeasures. First, let’s analyze the primary reasons for water seepage in aluminum alloy doors and windows. 1. Design flaws: The structural design of doors and windows may not meet local wind pressure requirements. For instance, if the cross-section is too small or the wall thickness is insufficient, the components may deform under normal wind loads, leading to cracks or damage in seals and bonding materials. This results in poor sealing and subsequent water leakage. Such issues often arise due to inadequate strength calculations or failure to conduct proper wind pressure tests before installation. 2. Inadequate waterproof structure: Poorly designed sealing systems can allow rainwater to enter the cavity of the door or window and remain there due to an absence of multiple drainage channels. When wind pressure differences between the inside and outside occur, water can easily penetrate into the living space, leading to leaks. 3. Poor processing and installation: During installation, improper alignment or insufficient overlap of seal joints can cause gaps. Additionally, unsealed corners, missing plastic inserts, or improperly sealed screws can all contribute to water leakage. It’s also important to ensure that sealing surfaces are clean before applying sealants. 4. Substandard materials: Using low-quality sealants, rubber strips, or hardware accessories can lead to premature aging, deformation, or cracking. For example, expired sealants may lose their elasticity, while hard rubber strips may not adhere properly over time. These factors compromise the integrity of the seal and result in water infiltration. 5. Improper sealing at the interface: If the gap between the door frame and the building wall is too large or too small, it becomes difficult to achieve a tight seal. This often occurs during the civil construction phase and is a major contributor to water leakage. To address these issues, several effective waterproofing measures can be implemented: 1. **Design Stage**: Ensure accurate calculations based on project-specific conditions and local wind load standards. Conduct physical performance tests, such as wind pressure testing, to confirm that the doors and windows meet required specifications. 2. **Structural Waterproofing**: - Use the equal-pressure principle in design to enhance sealing effectiveness. - Ensure sufficient overlap between the movable sash and frame (minimum 6mm). - Prefer flat-opening designs over sliding ones, especially in high-rise or cold areas, as sliding windows tend to have weaker sealing. - Install drip edges and drainage holes to allow water to exit efficiently. - Minimize visible seams and ensure joints are sealed properly, ideally forming a 90-degree angle for better sealing. 3. **Manufacturing and Assembly**: Improve precision during cutting and assembly. Pay special attention to sealing joints when installing glass and ensuring proper fit between the sash and frame. 4. **Material Selection**: Choose high-quality silicone sealants, adhesives, and reliable hardware from reputable manufacturers. 5. **Sealing at the Wall Interface**: Ensure the gap between the door frame and the wall is within acceptable limits, allowing for proper sealing and filling with waterproof materials. In conclusion, water leakage in aluminum alloy doors and windows is often the result of design, installation, material, or construction-related issues. By thoroughly studying these problems and implementing targeted solutions, we can significantly reduce leakage and ensure higher-quality, long-lasting products. Strengthening quality control and monitoring throughout the process is key to achieving this goal.
