What You Might Be Wondering
Which Insulates Better?
Modern aluminium windows use thermal breaks to match uPVC's thermal performance. Neither has a significant advantage in A-rated configurations.
Can I Mix Materials?
Yes. Aluminium bi-folds or sliding doors with uPVC windows is a very popular combination — contemporary impact where it matters, value elsewhere.
Which Is More Durable?
Both last 25-30+ years. Aluminium is inherently strong and scratch-resistant. uPVC is softer but doesn't corrode. Neither needs painting.
Is Aluminium Worth the Extra Cost?
For contemporary properties, large openings and where slim sightlines matter — yes. For traditional properties and budget-conscious projects, uPVC offers better value.
