What does aluminium cladding mean?
Aluminium cladding is a special aluminium profile mounted on the exterior side of a PVC window. It does not affect thermal insulation performance but significantly improves resistance to weather conditions and allows for a modern, metallic appearance.
Advantages of PVC windows with aluminium cladding
- Modern design – the option to powder-coat the cladding in any RAL colour, matching the façade, elevation or doors.
- Durability – aluminium is highly resistant to UV radiation, rain, frost and mechanical damage.
- Cost efficiency – you benefit from the lower price of PVC on the inside while gaining the aluminium look on the outside.
- No maintenance required – no need for repainting or refinishing in the future.
- Increased structural rigidity – thanks to the aluminium cladding.
Who is this solution for?
This is an excellent choice for those who want to:
- achieve a modern visual effect while maintaining the comfort and cost advantages of PVC,
- match the windows to façades with metallic elements,
- enjoy durable windows without frequent maintenance,
- stand out from neighbouring buildings.
This solution fits perfectly into modern architecture, barn-style houses, as well as urban developments and apartment buildings.
Is it worth paying extra for aluminium cladding?
The price of a PVC window with aluminium cladding is higher than that of a standard PVC window, but significantly lower than a full aluminium window. You gain durability, aesthetics and structural rigidity without sacrificing the excellent thermal performance of PVC. At Okno-Pol, we help you choose the right system and colour tailored to your project and budget.
Summary
PVC windows with aluminium cladding are a sensible compromise between aesthetics and functionality. They are warm, durable and exceptionally elegant. If you want a modern look without giving up the advantages of PVC, this solution may be perfect for you.
