For apartments, which suits better — uPVC or aluminium? Here's an honest view.
Aluminium window frames are strong and slim, which lets them carry large panes with thin sightlines. But aluminium conducts heat readily, so an aluminium frame transmits more heat than uPVC unless it has a thermal break.
uPVC frames are multi-chambered — the hollow chambers trap air, which slows heat transfer. That makes uPVC naturally insulating without needing a thermal break.
In apartments, noise and heat are usually the real problems — which points to uPVC with laminated glass. Aluminium's slim sightlines matter most on large balcony sliders, where it makes a genuine case.

Noise reduction and heat, plus low maintenance at height. Laminated glass and tight sealing do the most.
