People often ask which is cheaper, uPVC or aluminium. The honest answer is that the specification matters more than the material name. Here's what actually drives the difference.
A basic version of either material can be inexpensive; a high-performance version of either can cost much more. Comparing "uPVC" to "aluminium" as if each had one price is misleading — the glass, profile, and hardware drive the figure.
Compare like for like: the same glass, similar performance, similar hardware quality. Only then does a material comparison mean anything. A cheap version of one shouldn't be compared to a premium version of the other.
Because the meaningful number is for your specific openings at the spec you choose, we measure and quote rather than offer a material rate. Factory-direct keeps it honest, with no dealer margin layered on.
It depends entirely on the specification of each. A like-for-like comparison at the same performance is the only fair one — and we quote the actual openings rather than a material rate.
Because both span a wide range depending on glass, profile, and hardware. Comparing one price to another only means something at equal spec.
Make sure they're like for like — same glass, similar hardware and performance. We're happy to explain what's in ours.
