Hi Kimmkim
Any reason for switching to UPVC ? My engineer has advised me to go for Aluminum windows instead of wood.

Hi kimmkim,

I am in the process of selecting options for windows. My engineer suggested aluminium windows instead of wood as the cost of aluminium windows will be half of wooden windows. He says UPVC is not suitable for our country as it is hot and the windows will loose its color and sheen and the life is also less.

What is the reason for you to shift from Al to UPVC ?

Hi,
Upvc is recommended as much better than aluminium .Upvc are actually meant for any kind of climate ,it has no scaling problem like plastic,it doesn't fade if you choose white (for that reason aluminum are powder coated and fades much faster)
You would have seen in many old apartments white power coated turns in to pale yellow.
UPVC in many brands comes with leed cirtification (green concept)
UPVC has very less temperature ,light, wind, sound leaks compared to aluminium,
They don't make rattling sound like aluminium windows
Upvc locking system is smooth and long life with Multi point locking option
Many more advantages
