Overall Comparison – uPVC vs. Wood vs. Aluminium

Tendency Prompt uPVC Wood Aluminium
Surface Quality It is maintained throughout it’s useful life Requires timely maintenance Anodizing wears out
Thermal Insulation Very good, Heat losses are reduced due to wider profile depth & multi chamber section. Fair Being a metal it has a poor thermal insulation, and high thermal conductivity.
Fire Properties Non-combustible Poor Good
Durability Excellent Fair Poor
Corrosion & Termite Resistant Good Poor Poor
Chemical Resistant No effect Rots Corrodes
Warping Will not warp Can warp Can warp
Maintenance Free Good Poor Fair
Acoustic Insulation The multi chamber sealed cavities and welded corners offers excellent acoustic insulating properties. The mechanically joint corners render very poor result from acoustic insulation angle. Fair
Dimensional Accuracy They are factory produced on sophisticated machine hence offers uniform quality control. Fabricated locally and manually, hence poor quality and non-uniformity. Fair
