Green UPVC Windows and Doors are made from a special blend of UPVC and have many benefits over Aluminium, Steel and Wood Windows and Doors. Please see the comparison table below to find out how.
| Wooden windows | Steel / Aluminium Windows | UPVC | ||
| Maintenance | ||||
| Wooden windows need regular Painting/ polishing. | Aluminium windows and doors need painting over long periods of usage. | Green UPVC windows and doors requires no painting; only routine cleaning. | ||
| Duravility under Extreme Weather | ||||
| Wooden windows and wooden doors start fading very soon; require constant re polishing. | Aluminium windows and aluminium doors can start fading after sustained exposure to sun. Start looking ugly. | Green UPVC windows and doors have UV resistant blend; do not fade under sustained exposure to sun. | ||
| Wheather Resistance | ||||
| Wooden windows tend to rot or expand during monsoons. Poor insulation allows water to flow inside. | Aluminium windows and aluminium doors allow rain water to come in due to poor insulation and installation. | Green UPVC windows and doors have a built in special rain drain mechanism. For heavy rains; special rain track can be accommodated | ||
| Resistance to Wind | ||||
| Wooden windows and doors tend to rattle in face of strong winds leading to whistling sounds. | Due to poor structural strength and insulation; aluminium windows and aluminium doors tend to rattle in face of strong winds leading to whistling sounds. | Green UPVC windows and doors are multi chambered and reinforced with Gl steel. For heavy wind loads; they can be reinforced with a hurricane bar. | ||
| Environmental Impact | ||||
| wooden windows and doors use Tropical Hardwoods Are Ecologically Unsound. | Aluminium windows and aluminium door frames use large amounts of energy in production; not an environment friendly choice. | Green UPVC windows and doors use less energy at the time of production; hence more environment friendly. | ||
| Aesthetics | ||||
| wooden windows and doors Look Good. | Aluminium windows and aluminium doors can Look Cold And Out Of Proportion. | Green UPVC windows and doors have elegant looks; enhances both; the exteriors and interiors of the building. | ||
| Energy Conservation | ||||
| Wood is a poor conductor of heat; hence wooden windows and wooden doors conserve more energy than aluminium windows and aluminium doors. | Aluminium windows and aluminium door (being metal) conduct heat energy. Poor sealing and imperfect installation leads to lot of energy loss. | Green 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 | ||||
| Wooden windows and wooden doors are poorly engineered and poorly sealed; hence provide poor sound insulation. | Aluminium windows and aluminium doors are poorly sealed with mechanical joints and poorly installed leading to poor sound insulation. | Green UPVC Windows and doors are fusion welded, lock at multiple points and double sealed leading to excellent sound insulation. | ||
| Termite resistance | ||||
| Wooden windows and wooden doors are prone to termites. | Aluminium windows and aluminium doors do not attract termites. | Green UPVC windows and doors are not prone to termites. | ||
| Sunlight | ||||
| Wooden windows and wooden doors Have poor structural strength; hence require more members; limiting the amount of sunlight. | Aluminium windows and aluminium doors Hollow frames lead to poor structural strength; thus leading to more members and lesser sunlight. | Green UPVC windows and doors are steel reinforced; hence structurally strong. They allow large sizes leading to more sunlight. | ||
| Addition to value of home | ||||
| Wooden windows and wooden doors tend to deteriorate with time; hence do not add to long term value of home. | Aluminium windows and aluminium doors require lot of maintenance; hence do not add to value of home. | Green 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 | ||||
| Wooden windows and wooden doors tend to have more frames; hence leaving lesser area for ventilation. | Aluminium windows and aluminium doors have more frames; hence lesser area for ventilation. | Green 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. | Wooden windows and wooden doors have poor quality hardware which do not last long; leading to difficult usage experience. | Green UPVC windows and doors use international quality hardware that allows easy use of windows. | ||
