In the past, aluminum window frames were made from a single piece. Since aluminum is a material that conducts heat more strongly, earlier aluminum windows formed a thermal bridge that caused corresponding heat losses. Therefore, today aluminum window frames are usually assembled from an outer and an inner shell to improve the thermal insulation of the frame (cf. Uf-value of window frames). Such thermally separated aluminum window profiles have insulating properties that can be compared with those of wood or plastic. The insulating effect results from the special double-shell construction of the aluminum window profiles, which are also equipped with multiple chambers that are filled with air or, even better, insulation material. Care is also taken to ensure that the profiles are designed so that thermal barriers (so-called insulation cores) are present between the outer shell and the interior shell, so that unwanted thermal bridges do not occur through which heat is lost uncontrollably. Aluminum profiles designed in this way achieve good to very good insulating properties.
And: didn’t you consult about the advantages and disadvantages beforehand for such an expensive decision (aluminum windows)?
Nevertheless, aluminum windows "feel" colder because heat is withdrawn from the body faster (transferred to the window). The "feeling" does not require direct contact with the surface. Perhaps a general increase in room temperature and thus an increase in the temperature of the window components would help? Have you ever measured the surface temperature? What is it?
And yes, compressible tape is actually better (in my opinion), of course, it always depends on the installer whether it turns out well.
