Near-zero maintenance, good heat and noise insulation, complete resistance to rot and rust, and tight sealing against dust and rain. For most homes these add up to a genuine quality-of-life improvement, especially when replacing old steel or loose aluminium.
For the very slimmest frames on very large glazed spans, aluminium has an advantage. And if you specifically want natural timber character, woodgrain uPVC approximates it but isn't real wood.
Most homeowners who want comfort and a fit-and-forget life are well served by uPVC. The value shows most clearly over the years, in what you don't have to do — no painting, no rust, no warping.
For most homes, yes — the value shows over years in near-zero maintenance, better comfort, and tight sealing. The benefit is clearest when replacing old steel or loose aluminium.
