Over the last 20 or 30 years uPVC or rigid vinyl or vinyl siding windows have taken over as the most popular window type from aluminium windows. When you look at the energy savings that uPVC windows provide it is easy to understand this shift in trend. The problem with aluminium windows is that aluminium is a metal and a good conductor and poor thermal insulator. In contrast uPVC is a plastic which provides high thermal resistance. This means that uPVC windows are good at stopping the transference of heat and cold between inside and outside a house. So in winter uPVC windows keep the heat in and cold out; and in the summer they keep the cool in and the heat out. It is estimated that just one uPVC window can save a homeowner $20 per winter in heating costs. Aluminium windows on the other hand, seep out heat in the winter and let out the cool air in the summer. uPVC windows are the same price as aluminium windows, can be made in all styles including patio doors, stable doors and bow windows. uPVC can be printed to look like wood or any other style. They last 35 years with minimal maintenance and are impervious to humidity. It is easy to understand why aluminium windows became less popular.
