Deciding whether to upgrade your property with uPVC or aluminium windows or doors can be challenging. Both provide multiple benefits, including increased style, durability, and security. Naturally, homeowners feel overwhelmed when deciding which one will best suit their home.

 

In this article, we will discuss the benefits of uPVC and aluminium so you can decide which will best suit your requirements.

 

uPVC Window Styles

uPVC can be adapted to make a variety of window styles. From the classic casement style to sliding sash windows, there are endless possibilities with uPVC windows. Whether you have a modern or traditional style property, it’s easy to find a window style that will suit your requirements.

Aluminium Window Styles

Aluminium windows also come in a variety of styles and colours. Their slim frames, paired with long double glazing, help the property look clean and elegant. Aluminium windows are an excellent choice for those looking for small ways to increase the visual appearance of their property.

uPVC Doors Styles

uPVC doors provide a timeless design that will seamlessly blend into the property’s current design. Just like when they are made for windows, uPVC can be made into different styles. At Elite Fascias, our uPVC doors come in both chamfered and decorative so that you can design a bespoke piece for your home.

Aluminium is naturally durable, so it is perfect for providing an extra layer of security for your property. It can remain rigid for extended periods and withstand harsh weather conditions. Its thin profiles allow the maximum amount of light to get into the home, making it feel brighter and spacious.

uPVC Benefits

uPVC, as a material, can provide your home with multiple benefits compared to windows or doors. Here are some of the benefits that they can provide.

 

Recyclable

uPVC can be recycled into another product when it is past its lifetime. Some companies provide collection services to pick up old uPVC frames and recycle them so they can be reused again. This is great if you are looking to help limit wastage and the overall impact on the environment.

 

Thermal Performance

Installing uPVC windows into your home will help increase your home’s energy efficiency. They provide thermal insulating properties so your home can retain the heat inside the property while helping you remain at a comfortable temperature during the summer.

 

Aluminium Benefits

Here are the following benefits that aluminium windows and doors can provide your home.

 

Durability

Aluminium windows and doors are best known for their natural durability and robust qualities. They remain strong during harsh weather conditions and help prevent damage, such as dampness or cracks. Therefore, aluminium windows and doors are a good choice if you are looking for a reliable home improvement product that can last for potentially decades.

 

Appearance

More homeowners may prefer the look of an aluminium window or door, as they provide more of a sleek appearance. Their thin frames can seamlessly blend into the home’s design and offer a contemporary appearance. They come in multiple colours so that homeowners can customise them to their personal preferences.
