What’s better: aluminium or uPVC windows?
When comparing aluminium windows and uPVC windows, the best option depends on your priorities. The main difference is the window frame material, with each offering unique strengths suited to different needs:
- Aluminium window frames are strong and weatherproof, with thermally efficient design features like thermal breaks to reduce heat loss. However, aluminium’s natural conductivity means they sometimes lag slightly behind uPVC in raw insulation.
- uPVC window frames are generally more energy-efficient due to their thicker insulating profiles. While lighter in weight and more budget-friendly, uPVC frames are bulkier than aluminium frames, reducing the area for safety glass and natural light.
Are aluminium casement windows suitable for modern extensions?
Yes. Aluminium casement windows work particularly well in modern extensions because their strong frames support larger panes of double-glazed glass.
This means:
- Slimmer frames
- Wider views
- More natural light entering the space
Their durability also makes them practical for larger openings often used in extensions. The result is a clean, modern look that complements contemporary builds while delivering reliable thermal efficiency and everyday practicality.
What environmental benefits does double glazing offer?
Lower energy demand means fewer carbon emissions over time. Many modern double-glazed window systems also use recyclable materials and durable components that help reduce waste from frequent replacements.
How long do double-glazed aluminium windows last?
Double-glazed aluminium windows are incredibly durable, featuring strong, corrosion-resistant window material and a weather-tested design.
Combined, these features allow glazed aluminium windows to typically last 45 years or more before needing replacement, significantly outlasting many other window types.
Can I fit aluminium windows in timber frames?
Yes. Aluminium window frames can be installed within existing wooden frames or a new timber sub-frame. In most cases, the aluminium unit is securely fixed into a timber frame first. Then, it’s installed into the opening, retaining the character of traditional timber windows while enhancing performance.
How do I maintain aluminium windows?
Aluminium windows require very little maintenance, but regular care helps keep them durable, aligned and operating smoothly for years. To keep the entire window looking and working its best, follow these simple steps:
- Wipe aluminium window frames with a soft cloth and mild soapy water.
- Rinse and dry to prevent water marks.
- Clean the glass with standard window cleaner.
- Check hinges and locks occasionally and lubricate if needed.
