Aluminum window frames gaining popularity over PVC

Consumers are increasingly moving away from PVC window frames in favor of aluminum alternatives due to durability and structural requirements. While PVC is popular for its cost-effectiveness, it faces challenges such as thermal expansion and contraction, UV radiation causing discoloration, and potential loss of airtightness over time.

Aluminum profiles are becoming preferred for large-scale glazing and floor-to-ceiling windows. Modern aluminum constructions utilize thermal breaks to provide insulation comparable to residential standards, while offering superior strength-to-weight ratios necessary to support heavy triple-pane glass.
