Whether you’re moving into a new home or replacing old windows, the most common question is: PVC or aluminium? Both systems have their strengths; the right choice depends on where they’ll be used and what matters most to you.
Thermal and sound insulation
PVC profiles naturally insulate well thanks to their multi-chamber design. With aluminium, you need to choose thermally broken (insulated) profiles for high insulation performance.
Appearance and large glazed areas
Aluminium profiles are slimmer and stronger, making them ideal for large sliding doors, corner glazing and modern facades.
Humidity and climate
Neither material rusts in humid or salty coastal air. What really matters is quality hardware and correct installation.
Conclusion
- If budget and insulation are your priorities: PVC
- If you want large glazing, slim profiles and a modern look: thermally broken aluminium
