1. Material – Composition and Long-Term Performance

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a durable plastic material with excellent thermal and sound insulation properties. It is lightweight, moisture-resistant, and non-corrosive, making it ideal for humid environments or areas with fluctuating temperatures.

Aluminum, on the other hand, is a lightweight metal with exceptional mechanical strength, perfect for large windows or minimalist designs. Modern aluminum profiles include a thermal break to reduce heat transfer, but overall, they offer slightly less insulation than PVC.

• PVC advantage: naturally superior thermal insulation
• Aluminum advantage: mechanical strength and extremely long lifespan

2. Design and Aesthetic Versatility

PVC windows are available in a wide range of colors and wood-like finishes, thanks to decorative Renolit (Germany) films, making them suitable for both classic and modern homes.

Aluminum, however, offers a sleek and refined look, ideal for modern and contemporary architecture. It can be painted in any RAL color and allows for complex shapes and ultra-slim frames, maximizing glass surface area.

• PVC advantage: variety of decorative finishes and wood imitations
• Aluminum advantage: modern aesthetics and unlimited customization options

3. Thermal and Acoustic Insulation

PVC naturally has low thermal conductivity, making it excellent at retaining heat indoors and lowering energy costs.

Modern aluminum windows come equipped with thermal breaks and multiple gaskets, but they generally require more engineering to achieve the same performance level as PVC.

• PVC advantage: superior energy efficiency without expensive add-ons
• Aluminum advantage: good performance when using advanced systems

4. Durability and Maintenance

Both materials are weather-, UV-, and moisture-resistant. High-quality PVC won’t warp or fade, and aluminum is nearly indestructible, resistant to corrosion and mechanical impact.

As for maintenance, both require only periodic cleaning with water and mild solutions.

• PVC advantage: easy maintenance and lower costs
• Aluminum advantage: very long lifespan, ideal for commercial buildings

5. Price

PVC is generally more affordable than aluminum, without compromising performance. This makes it a popular choice in residential construction.

Aluminum, as a premium material, is more expensive, but the price is justified by its exclusive design and long-term durability.

• PVC advantage: excellent quality-price ratio
• Aluminum advantage: long-term investment for luxury projects

What Should You Choose? It Depends on Your Needs!

For homes: PVC is the ideal solution due to its energy efficiency and affordable price.
For commercial spaces or modern buildings: Aluminum is the perfect choice for design, strength, and architectural elegance.
