| Steel / Aluminium Windows |
UPVC |
| Maintenance |
| Aluminium windows and doors need painting over long periods of usage. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors requires no painting; only routine cleaning. |
| Durability under Extreme Weather |
| Aluminium windows and aluminium doors can start fading after sustained exposure to sun. Start looking ugly. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors have UV resistant blend; do not fade under sustained exposure to sun. |
| Monsoon Resistance |
| Aluminium windows and aluminium doors allow rain water to come in due to poor insulation and installation. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors have a built in special rain drain mechanism. For heavy rains; special rain track can be accommodated. |
| Resistance to Wind |
| Due to poor structural strength and insulation; aluminium windows and aluminium doors tend to rattle in face of strong winds leading to whistling sounds. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors are multi chambered and reinforced with steel. For heavy wind loads; they can be reinforced with a hurricane bar. |
| Environmental Impact
|
| Aluminium windows and aluminium door frames use large amounts of energy in production; not an environment friendly choice. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors use less energy at the time of production; hence more environment friendly. |
| Aesthetics |
| Aluminium windows and aluminium doors can Look Cold And Out Of Proportion. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors have elegant looks; enhances both; the exteriors and interiors of the building. |
| Energy Conservation
|
| Aluminium windows and aluminium door (being metal) conduct heat energy. Poor sealing and imperfect installation leads to lot of energy loss. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors are poor conductors of heat. They have excellent sealing with multiple point locks and fusion welded joints; hence conserve energy. |
| Sound Insulation |
| Aluminium windows and aluminium doors are poorly sealed with mechanical joints and poorly installed leading to poor sound insulation. |
Fenesta UPVC Windows and doors are fusion welded, lock at multiple points and double sealed leading to excellent sound insulation. |
| Termite resistance |
| Aluminium windows and aluminium doors do not attract termites. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors are not prone to termites. |
| Sunlight |
| Aluminium windows and aluminium doors Hollow frames lead to poor structural strength; thus leading to more members and lesser sunlight. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors are steel reinforced; hence structurally strong. They allow large sizes leading to more sunlight. |
| Addition to value of home
|
| Aluminium windows and aluminium doors require lot of maintenance; hence do not add to value of home. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors have a long life and do not require any maintenance. Hence they add to the long term value of the home. |
| Ventilation |
| Aluminium windows and aluminium doors have more frames; hence lesser area for ventilation. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors have a long are structurally strong and require less frames allowing more ventilation. |
| Ease of use |
| Wooden windows and wooden doors have poor quality hardware which do not last long; leading to difficult usage experience. |
Fenesta UPVC windows and doors use international quality hardware that allows easy use of windows. |
