Aesthetics | Look wise good. | Can look cold and out of proportion. | Appearance is good from both the exterior and interior of the building. |
Energy conservation
| Poor conductors of heat, conserve more energy than Aluminium doors and windows. | These are good conductors of heat. Hence there will be a loss of energy. | Are poor conductors of heat. They have excellent sealing with multiple point locks and fusion-welded joints. Hence conserve energy. |
Sound insulation | Are poorly engineered and sealed hence provide poor sound insulation. | These are poorly sealed and poorly installed hence give poor sound insulation. | These are fusion-welded and locks, at multiple points, double sealed and hence give excellent sound insulation. |
Termite resistance | Wooden windows and doors are prone to termites. | Aluminium doors and windows do not attract termites. | UPVC doors and windows are not termite prone. |
Ventilation | These tend to have more frames leaving less area for ventilation. | These have more frames hence less area for ventilation. | UPVC doors and windows are structurally long and require fewer frames giving more ventilation. |
Sunlight
| Wooden doors and windows have poor structural strength, and need more members, limiting the amount of sunlight. | Aluminum doors and windows have hollow and poor structural frames, hence need more members, providing less sunlight. | UPVC doors and windows are steel-reinforced, hence structurally strong, allows a large amount of sunlight to pass. |
Addition to value of home | Wooden doors and windows start to deteriorate with time hence do not have long life and do not add to the value of home. | Aluminium doors and windows needs more maintenance and hence do not add to the value of home. | UPVC doors and windows need less maintenance and life long life and hence add long term value to the home. |
