Aluminium windows are strong, slim and long-lasting, which is why they are common in Delhi NCR apartments, villas and offices. This guide compares them with UPVC windows and explains what affects price.

Why Aluminium Windows?
Aluminium is light yet strong, so frames can be slim and hold large glass panes. It does not rust, warp or swell in humidity, and powder-coated finishes resist fading. That makes it practical for Delhi’s dust, heat and monsoon.
Types of Aluminium Windows
- Sliding windows: glide on tracks and save space; common for balconies and bedrooms.
- Casement windows: hinged, open outward or inward, good ventilation.
- Fixed windows: non-opening, ideal for views and daylight.
- Top-hung and tilt-and-turn: useful for controlled ventilation.
Aluminium vs UPVC Windows
| Feature | Aluminium | UPVC |
|---|---|---|
| Strength | Very high; slim frames | Good; thicker frames |
| Thermal insulation | Better with thermal-break profiles | Naturally good |
| Colours | Wide powder-coat range, black and wood finish | Mostly white and laminated finishes |
| Maintenance | Low | Low |
| Large spans | Excellent | Limited without reinforcement |
Both are good choices. Aluminium is preferred for large glass areas and a sleek look; UPVC is often chosen for insulation and noise on a tight budget.
Aluminium Windows Price: What Affects It?
Price depends on profile thickness and series, glass type (clear, toughened, laminated, double-glazed), hardware quality, finish, and size. Ask for a quotation that lists profile series and glass thickness, so you can compare vendors fairly.
Glass and Noise Reduction
If you live near a busy road, ask for double-glazed or laminated glass with good gaskets. Properly sealed sliding windows reduce dust and noise noticeably.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Check the opening size and plaster condition before fabrication.
- Use proper fasteners and sealant to prevent leakage.
- Clean tracks regularly to keep sliding smooth.
- Lubricate rollers occasionally.
