# PVC or aluminium windows – how to choose the right one?

One of the most common questions we hear from clients – should you choose PVC or aluminium windows? Both are excellent solutions, but each has its own advantages depending on the house, the budget and the look you want.

## PVC windows

Advantages:

- Excellent thermal insulation – a great solution for living spaces
- Comparatively lower cost
- Practically maintenance-free
- Wide range of colours and finishes

Best suited for:

Family homes and apartments where energy efficiency and value for money are the main priorities.

## Aluminium windows

- High strength and long service life
- Allows large, slim frames – more glass, more light
- Modern, minimalist appearance
- Resistant to deformation over time

Modern homes with large glazed surfaces, commercial buildings, and any case where appearance and long-term durability matter most.

## So which should you choose?

If warmth and budget are the priority, PVC windows are a smart solution. If design, large glass areas and durability matter more, aluminium is worth it.

In reality, many homes benefit from both – for example, PVC in the bedrooms and aluminium for the large terrace window or façade.
