uPVC vs Aluminium vs Wood Windows

The three main window materials, compared honestly — including where each genuinely wins.

The short version

uPVC insulates naturally and needs no maintenance. Aluminium is strong and slim but conducts heat unless thermally broken. Wood has real character but swells, rots, and needs constant upkeep in a humid climate.

Where each wins

Look for this

  • uPVC — insulation, zero maintenance, humidity
  • Aluminium — very slim sightlines on big spans
  • Wood — genuine character and heritage look
  • uPVC — best all-round for homes here
  • Woodgrain uPVC — the wood look without the upkeep

Our honest position

We build in uPVC because its insulation and zero maintenance suit this climate best. Where you want very slim sightlines on a large span, aluminium genuinely wins — we'd tell you that rather than lose your trust.
