Properties:

Aluminum frames: Aluminum is a lightweight and durable metal. Its appearance ranges from silvery to dull gray depending on the surface roughness. It is malleable, making it easy to machine and extrude. It is also highly recyclable.

Glass:

Glass is manufactured from an opaque sand, yet is completely transparent. It can be chemically treated or sandblasted to create various colors and finishes such as etching or frosting. It can also be painted on the back side and viewed from the front (back-painted glass). Glass can be tempered, making it much stronger than ordinary glass.
