PVC & uPVC

WOOD

Though more expensive and demanding more maintenance, wood offers sophisticated and elegant aesthetics that cannot be matched by other materials.

ALUMINUM

Probably the most affordable of all the other mentions, aluminum offers a lot of advantages that exceeds the others. The thermal insulation of aluminum is more superior compared to PVC/uPVC and timbre. Aluminum’s low maintenance and durability also makes it the perfect choice for those who are temporarily residing at one place. With recyclability, aluminum is also a sustainable choice of material.

FIBERGLASS

Fiberglass’s high thermal insulation, far more than any of the above materials, makes it optimum for a super insulating window or door.
