Good evening everyone,
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find information through the search. We are currently planning to replace our 30-year-old wooden windows (due to design and sealing issues). Now we are considering which type of window to choose. We are torn between a “true” aluminum window or a uPVC window with an aluminum cladding.
Our consultation appointment is next week, but I would like to have a preliminary opinion to bring into the discussion. What do you think: From my layperson perspective, the uPVC window with cladding seems to offer the best of both worlds—affordable combined with very durable and weather-resistant. Am I mistaken?
I am looking forward to your opinions.
Best regards

I didn't go into construction details on that. My bad.You’re in good company there. The myth that aluminum windows are cold is as persistent and stubborn as the one about prefabricated houses being shoddy, which is why “Piggy Wise” only builds brick by brick.https://www.instagram.com/11antgmxde/

Installation will be done by a local window company that only installs windows itself (no subcontractors, etc.).
Thanks to everyone who contributed advice here 🙂 Photos will be shared after completion, but realistically, due to the production and installation schedules reminiscent of those in the former East Germany, probably around February/March.
