Factors |
UPVC Windows |
Aluminum Windows |
Wooden Windows |
Expansion / Contraction |
Low, due to its inherent properties |
Medium, due to aluminum's high thermal expansion coefficient |
High, due to wood's moisture absorption characteristics |
Heat Insulation |
High, since UPVC is a poor conductor of heat & has no gaps for external heat transfer |
Low, Aluminium is a good conductor of heat |
Medium, Though wood is a poor conductor of heat, the gaps due to expansion/contraction can allow external heat transfer |
Maintenance |
Low, No Painting is required |
Low, No Painting is required |
High, requires periodic painting |

Corrosion Resistance |
Do not corrode or rust |
Prone to corrosion |
Do not corrode or rust |
UV Resistance |
High |
High for anodized aluminum and low for powder coated aluminum windows |
Low, Starts to fade quickly to sun exposure |
Fire Resistance |
High |
High |
Low, can catch fire quickly |
Window Colors |
White being the popular, other wood grains like walnut, mahogany are available |
High Range |
High Range of colours |
Installation Time |
Ready to fix |
Ready to Fix |
High, since windows need to installed and painting follows at site |
Noise Cancellation |
High, since gaps are low |
Medium, since gaps are low |
High since gaps developed due to contraction/expansion |
Total Cost / Sft (including installation). **safety grill extra |
