Material and features:
UPVC doors and windows: made of U-PVC plastic profiles, with wind resistance, waterproof, insulation and other good characteristics. UPVC material corrosion resistance and aesthetic performance are excellent, and good sound insulation, not easy to deformation, not easy to aging. In addition, UPVC material doors and windows are exquisite in workmanship, no maintenance, good durability, and relatively favorable prices.
Aluminum alloy doors and windows: aluminum as the main material, by adding a certain amount of silicon, magnesium and other metal elements, with light weight, high strength characteristics. The sealing performance of aluminum alloy doors and windows is very good, including air tightness, water tightness, heat insulation, sound insulation and so on. In addition, aluminum alloy doors and windows also have strong corrosion resistance, simple surface treatment and easy maintenance.
Performance comparison:
Thermal insulation performance: the thermal conductivity of UPVC doors and windows is very low, and the thermal insulation performance is very good. However, due to the high thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy doors and windows, its thermal insulation is relatively poor.
Sealing performance: Although both doors and windows have good sealing performance, the aluminum alloy doors and windows have better sealing performance after using the broken bridge technology, which can effectively prevent the exchange of indoor and outdoor airflow and noise.
Corrosion resistance: The corrosion resistance of aluminum alloy doors and windows mainly comes from the oxide layer on the surface, which is not easy to fade and fall off. The UPVC material itself has good corrosion resistance.
Appearance and maintenance:
UPVC doors and windows are beautifully crafted, colorful and maintenance-free. Aluminum alloy doors and windows are simple and fashionable in appearance, with various colors and not easy to fade.
In terms of maintenance, UPVC doors and windows require almost no additional maintenance due to their material characteristics. The aluminum alloy doors and windows need to be cleaned and maintained regularly.
Price and cost:
Generally speaking, the price of UPVC doors and windows is relatively favorable, while the price of aluminum alloy doors and windows varies according to its configuration and brand. But in the long run, UPVC doors and windows have lower durability and maintenance costs, and may have a better price/performance ratio.
Applicable scene:
UPVC doors and windows because of its good thermal insulation performance and sound insulation performance, more suitable for insulation and sound insulation requirements of higher places, such as cold areas of residential and the need for a quiet environment of the office.
Because of its light weight and high strength, aluminum alloy doors and windows are more suitable for places that need to withstand high wind pressure and high safety, such as high-rise buildings and large public buildings.
