You might be thinking about investing in new windows for your home. At Abbey Aluminium, we supply and install aluminium casement windows from Origin and AluK. If you have uPVC windows in your home, you might be thinking about upgrading to aluminium windows. Our aluminium windows are lightweight, durable, and strong, which are just some of the benefits that could help transform your home. In this article, we will compare and contrast uPVC and aluminium casement windows to help you make an informed decision.
Stylish Appeal
At Abbey Aluminium, we work with market leaders Origin to supply over 150 RAL colours for our aluminium casement windows. What’s more, we even offer dual colours that could match your existing property. These colours include the popular Anthracite Grey, Mahogany, and Walnut. All our aluminium colours are powder coated and durable, ensuring you can benefit from a long lasting finish.
Although uPVC windows come in a wide range of styles and colours, they can take up space. On the other hand, our aluminium casement windows offer slim sightlines, which can give you better views of the outside world while letting in more natural light. But that’s not all. Choosing our aluminium windows could help create a stunning focal point and an attractive visual appeal, helping increase your home’s market value.
Aluminium Windows Last Longer Than uPVC
One key advantage of uPVC casement windows is that they tend to be more affordable than aluminium windows. This makes them a popular choice for homeowners on a budget. However, while aluminium casement windows are more expensive, their longer lifespan could help you get more value for your money.
What’s more, aluminium windows are strong and durable, so they can comfortably hold huge pieces of glass. This could be perfect for anyone looking to increase their light intake or enjoy better views of their outside space because aluminium can hold slimmer frames.
Energy Efficiency
Our aluminium windows offer outstanding thermal performance, as their design offers plenty of polyamide thermal breaks. These are engineered gaps designed to prevent heat loss, perfect for keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. This is essential for saving money on your heating bills and helping keep your home consistently warm throughout the year.
What’s more, your double-glazed aluminium windows are soundproof, which could help reduce loud noises to a whisper. This could be perfect if you live in busy areas such as a loud neighbourhood or by a main road.
Security
Despite their lightweight appearance, our aluminium windows are some of the strongest on the market, making it nearly impossible for intruders to break through. Both uPVC and aluminium casement windows are available with double glazing as standard, alongside multi-point locking systems fitted around the bottom of the window. As a result, you and your loved ones can stay safe, giving you complete peace of mind.
There’s not much between uPVC and aluminium windows when it comes to security, as they are both solid and impenetrable. However, uPVC windows can wear down under intense pressure, while our aluminium windows are less likely to rust or fade in tough weather conditions.
