I’m looking to replace all the windows in my house. Currently I’ve got uPVC with dark wood effect on the exterior and white interior. The uPVC has been a nightmare with all the large windows warping at the frame. This has the effect of not allowing the window to seat properly in the frame and so leave a gap where cold air/noise gets in.
The supplying company went bust a few yrs back so no chance of claiming on a guarantee and I just want shot of them.
So…. I’m loathed to replace with uPVC again and potentially face the same issues downstream. Hence me looking at aluminium instead. I know the old skool ’70’s ali frames suffered from condensation and basically looked naff but presumably things have advanced somewhat.
Anyone else had the same decision to make recently (uPVC or ali) ? If so which way did you go ?
There’s always the wood option but am put off by additional maintenance + potential for frames to warp (I’m now paranoid about warping frames 🙂 ).
Anyone ?
