The “Is Aluminium or uPVC Better ” question has no real answer. On the one hand the double glazing company that does not work on aluminium window profiles may not encourage it because they want to sell pvc .The expense issue also contributes to the deciding process. It is unfair to compare the two products as if they had the 100% same are of use such as aluminium being used in pool areas due to being more resistant to grime and moisture.
However, aluminum has its benefits comparing to pvc-u. It is lightweight and very weather resistant due to its rustproof nature. Aluminum windows can live out much longer than uPVC. Also unless uPVC is strengthened with metal it can seem a bit flimsy and weak, especially for French doors and patio doors. Although you can easily dent thin aluminum it is a strong metal that is hard to cut thus providing better security and impact resistance as long as it is installed well. Of course, if the uPVC frames have double glazing and multi locking mechanisms then uPVC windows are just as secure as aluminum widows althoug in time the aluminium can be bent and some issues of the door fitting the doorcase exactly as it did when it was first installed can occur thus causing the door to have some perfect shutting problems.
Many time is spent replacing failed pvc doors (and their hardware) installed in schools, shopfronts and commercial buildings which after a matter of a few months have not been fit for purpose. No pvc door is able to withstand anything more than a normal residential environment where the door is opened and closed a few times a day. PVC Windows are unsuitable for coastal, swimming pool environments, heavy grime environments and more.Also there are many kinds of aluminium profiles that have a much natural look due to many techniques used such as coating.
Another benefit of an aluminum window is that it uses less visual space for installation.A uPVC window tends to need a clearance of 10 to 15cms on both sides of a wall, however aluminium profile windows fit in just with a few cm of wall space. This means less window frame material is stopping the sunlight entering in your room when compared with uPVC window frames.
However uPVC has benefits in other areas.Because aluminium is harder than the pvc material in cold weathers in areas such as Russia the aluminium window make crackling sounds due to the metallic property of moleculerly expanding in heat and contracting in cold in a much higer degree than the elastic pvc material.
Also the Aluminium profiles must be manufactured by an experienced person in order to get the same isolation efficiency of uPVC.Because Aluminium profile windows do not have welding seams a milimetrical error can cause a very high rate of heat loss.Also aluminium windows manufactured with low quality worksmanship can tend to get seperated from the joints due to the connections made by a metallic connection clip instead of welding like pvc.
With Rewindo recycling initiative the PVC window sector has seen sustainable progress towards increasing the recycling quota for old windows profiles and door frames to 100 % when its possible. The PVC profiles are shredded to pieces and operated on to produce small granules that can be recycled minimum seven times.
PVC windows are quite easy to care for and minimal maintenance is required. Wooden windows and doors have to be glazed just about every two years and painted again every 5 years.PVC on the other hand is very resistant to weather conditions,to clean the window frames all you need is dishwashing soap to make the cleaning.
So the final conclusion is usually using pvc in residental areas and aluminium in commercial areas due to the high heat efficiency of PVC.Aluminium is also used more frequently in tall buildings due to aluminium being a stronger material.But everything depends on certain factors such as a well installed aluminium window profile can be better than a medium quality uPVC or a weak quality aluminium window can be a nightmare in cold weathers and a weak installed pvc window will have the benefit of having much better isolation due to its manufacturing advantage of having welds.
So the window company must have high quality pvc window machinery or aluminium window machinery to prevent any kind of manufacturing error in both aluminium and uPVC window manufacturing.
