Are Aluminium Windows Better than uPVC or Timber?

When it comes to choosing windows for a home, there are several options available, including aluminium, uPVC, and timber. Each material has its own unique qualities and benefits.

At Aluframes Direct, we specialise in supplying modern, highly efficient aluminium windows and doors throughout London and the surrounding areas. Learn more about how aluminium windows are better than other materials below, or begin your free quote today.

Strength and Durability
Aluminium windows have gained popularity in recent years due to their durability, strength, and sleek appearance. They are known for their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, making them a great choice for homeowners looking for long lasting and low maintenance windows. Aluminium is a robust material that can support larger glass panels, allowing for expansive views that maximise the natural light in a home.

In addition to their strength, aluminium windows are also highly resistant to corrosion and require minimal maintenance. Unlike timber windows that may need regular painting or staining to protect them from the elements, aluminium windows are naturally resistant to rust and decay. This means homeowners can enjoy their sleek appearance without the hassle of ongoing maintenance.

Energy Efficiency
Another advantage of aluminium windows is their energy efficiency. With rising energy costs and increasing awareness of environmental issues, energy efficient windows have become a priority for many homeowners. Our aluminium windows are designed with hidden thermal breaks and high performance double glazing, which help to minimize heat transfer and improve insulation. This can result in reduced energy consumption and lower heating and cooling bills.

Customisable Design
Furthermore, aluminium windows offer a wide range of design options to suit almost any personal style. They can be powder-coated in various colours, allowing you to customise the look of the windows to complement your customer’s interior and exterior design. Best suited for new builds, the contemporary design of aluminium can suit a range of property types, including flats and commercial buildings.

By choosing Aluframes Direct for a fast supply of aluminium windows, we can also provide matching aluminium doors in a range of styles, including bifold doors, patio doors, and more!

When To Choose Other Materials
While aluminium windows have many advantages, it’s important to consider the specific needs and requirements of the property before making a decision. uPVC windows, for example, are known for their excellent thermal insulation properties and affordability. Timber windows, on the other hand, offer a classic and natural aesthetic that can enhance the charm of older or period properties.

Having had some very difficult and stressful  times with other glazing companies over the past few years I was hesitant to deal with this company as I tended to tar all glazing companies with the same brush now. I expressed my concerns to Kamran right from the get go and he bent over backwards to prove that not all glazing companies are the same. He’s right. They’re not. He’s restored my faith!! Anyone who is considering glazing of any kind can rest assured that this is a trustworthy company who will go that extra mile. Refreshing change in this day and age. I’ll be back for sure. 5 stars from me.

We used aluframes for bi-fold doors on our extension and full window replacement as well as internal Crittal doors. Pricing was great compared to other suppliers and their installation team were friendly, polite and left our house spotless. Excellent customer service and delivered on time. Would highly recommend, thank you for making our house a home.

Great service and I definitely recommend them.  I needed doors, a specific size and fast. Kameron helped me achieve this and the quality is great. Thank you Aluframes.

After being let down by a couple of other window companies, I was under serious time constraints and desperate to get a window made quickly. I ordered a window from Aluframes almost expecting the worst. To my joy the window was fabricated and ready for collection within a week. Excellent communication, speed and value. I was so pleased with their service that I placed another order immediately, which were ready in even less time. Would definitely use again
