Q: Are aluminum  windows better than uPVC?

Q What is special about aluminum windows?

Ans: This layer is extremely resistant to corrosion from anything the weather can throw at it, including acid rain, and won't be damaged by cleaning products. And unlike timber or PVC-U frames, aluminum window frames won't swell, crack, split or warp over the years whatever the weather.
