Types of windows
For Indian home Owners, typically Windows come in 3 types:
- Wooden
- Aluminum
- Metal
Wooden windows:
Nowdays people dont prefer wooden windows as they are too costly and you dont get good quality of wood.Those who are ready to spend money make it of saagavan wood (strong Teak wood). But the wood again is not of that good quality compared to olden days.
Metal windows:
These windows after a certain period get rusted and so it is advicable not to use as you waste your money on
doing the same again.
Aluminum windows:
It is preferred by all as the finishing is good,work done is faster and it is light in weight.You can anodize and get different colours in it,which looks good and attractive.
What about uPVC windows and doors? In India are they more expensive than Aluminium? The fit and finish is way better than aluminium.
yes uPVC look extremely impressive & has better sound proofing quality. However the companies who sell in India, take lot of turn around time. One of the leading uPVC window company takes 45 days to deliver windows after you have made payment. Prices can be 2-3 times more expensive. If you ever have to repair it, finding expert is not as easy it is for aluminum windows.
