uPVC vs Aluminium Windows: Which Is Better for Your Home?
uPVC or aluminium windows? Compare insulation, maintenance, strength, looks and starting prices to choose the right windows for your Hyderabad home.
By the Sri Home Must team ·
uPVC and aluminium are the two most popular materials for modern windows and sliding doors. Both are a big step up from old wooden or steel windows, but they suit different needs. Here is how they compare — we supply and install both.
| uPVC windows | Aluminium windows | |
|---|---|---|
| Heat insulation | Very good — uPVC is a poor conductor of heat | Lower — metal conducts heat |
| Noise insulation | Very good | Moderate |
| Maintenance | Practically none — no painting, no rust, no rot | Low — wipe clean |
| Frame look | Wider frames, white and colour profiles | Slim frames, modern look |
| Mosquito mesh | Mesh shutter on 2.5 / 3 track frames | Mesh available on sliding windows |
| Typical use | Bedrooms, living rooms, road-facing rooms | Budget projects, partitions, utility areas |
When uPVC windows are the better choice
Choose uPVC if comfort is the priority. uPVC frames keep heat out in summer, cut traffic noise and seal well against rain and dust. They do not corrode, warp or need painting, and they resist termites. Our uPVC doors and windows come in sliding (60, 80, 90 and 110 series), casement, tilt & turn and slide & fold designs, with a 20 years warranty.
When aluminium windows make sense
Aluminium is strong, so frames can be slimmer, and it usually costs a little less. It is a practical choice for utility areas, office partitions and budget projects. Our aluminium windows, doors and partitions can be made with built-in mosquito screens.
