Is it about time you started looking at replacing your windows or doors?

Or perhaps you’re considering installing additional windows or doors into your property to increase the quality of natural light coming into your home. Firstly, you need to decide which material you would prefer your frames to be.

For some time, uPVC has been seen as the low-maintenance, cutting-edge option, but there are many reasons why aluminium glazing systems outperform PVC windows and doors, resulting in a better investment in your home.

1.   Aluminium framework can last up to 45 years
Aluminium glazing is not a throwaway purchase; you won’t need to replace it within a few years, probably even a few decades! Aluminium is supremely strong and durable and is highly resistant to corrosion, capable of standing up to the outside elements. While PVC windows may require periodic replacement, you can rest assured that aluminium systems will keep on working, providing style and performance without compromise. Aluminium is also a highly durable material, but high-quality Aluminium can last up to 45 years because they don’t degrade in the same way that uPVC can. Unlike other metals, aluminium will not rust, so you don’t have to worry about your window frames sustaining unsightly patches of rust in the future.

2.   Enhanced energy efficiency for your home
  Thermally broken aluminium windows outperform uPVC windows for energy efficiency. A thermal break ensures that the aluminium surface cannot be influenced by external temperatures, preventing it from becoming a source of heat loss for your home in colder months and even helps prevent condensation. You’ll find most of our aluminium windows feature thermal breaks, as well as insulated cavities.

3.   Highly attractive material
Your home is precious to you. It is understandable that you want to make it look its best. There’s no contest between aluminium and PVC in terms of aesthetics. Capable of being sculpted into smooth, slim sightlines, this modern framework can provide a real contemporary finish to your property. If you’re planning an ambitious extension or renovation to your home, aluminium systems will give your home the ‘wow factor’ & PVC simply can’t compete with that.

4.   Capable of holding larger glass panes
Aluminium is a considerably stronger material than uPVC and can subsequently hold frames that are not only thinner and sleeker but bigger too. This allows   more light into your property making living spaces Look and feel more spacious.

5.   Colour matching for a bespoke finish
If you would like to colour match the framework of your new windows and doors to the style and architecture of your property, aluminium offers a choice of colours which far surpass that of uPVC. With only a specified range of colours available for uPVC windows, aluminium allows for greater flexibility with the ability for your frames to be sprayed to match any RAL colour. The result? A glazing system that’s truly bespoke to your home.
