Aluminum, wood-aluminum & uPVC windows

If your apartment faces a main road, you know the routine: horns and minibuses from first light, and a film of dust on the table by the window even though it hasn't been opened in days. Old windows tend to have gaps around the sashes, rubber seals that have dried out or fallen away, and tracks full of grit. That's where most of the noise and dust get in, more than through the glass itself. Aluminum and uPVC windows, or wood-aluminum ones, usually make a noticeable difference to the noise once they're fitted and sealed properly. Sometimes repairing the frames you already have and replacing the seals is enough.

Aluminum, wood-aluminum, or uPVC: what each does best

  • Aluminum: light but strong, it shrugs off sun and dust and comes in profiles of many shapes and colors. A natural fit for wide openings and sliding windows. How well it blocks sound depends heavily on the seals and the glass.
  • Wood-aluminum: an aluminum profile outside with a timber finish inside, so the street side gets aluminum's toughness and the room side gets the warmth of wood. It usually costs more than the other two, and the inner wood needs a little care now and then.
  • uPVC: the profile has hollow chambers inside, so it insulates well against noise and heat, especially with double-pane glass. A good match for bedrooms facing the street, as long as the profile is quality material with a stable color that won't yellow in the summer sun.
  • The glass: whatever the frame, double-pane or thicker laminated glass often does more against noise than the profile type, provided the fitting and seals are tight.

New windows, repairs, and the small fixes that matter

  • Supplying and installing aluminum, wood-aluminum, or uPVC windows and doors made to fit the opening.
  • Sliding windows that screech or jam halfway: cleaning the track and replacing worn rollers.
  • New handles, locks, and latches, plus adjusting a sash that no longer closes flush.
  • Replacing dried or torn rubber seals around the glass and sashes, often the quickest win against dust and whistling drafts.
  • Insect screens in fixed or roll-up styles, and new mesh for torn ones.
  • Replacing a cracked or broken pane without changing the whole window.
  • Sealing the gap between frame and wall with silicone when rain or dust gets in around the edges.

Why aluminum and uPVC window quotes vary

There's no single figure that fits every window, which is why the technician measures and looks things over before sending a price. Size and the number of sashes matter most, followed by the profile type and thickness, and the glass you choose. Hardware such as handles, rollers, and screens plays a part, and so does the state of the opening itself. If an old frame has to be pulled out and the wall around it needs patching, that's extra work. The price comes to you in the app, and it's your call: accept, and the job price replaces the visit fee; say no, and the visit fee covers the trip.

Common questions

Will new windows block street noise completely?

No window shuts out sound entirely, but a well-sealed one usually makes a clear difference. The glass, the seals, and how tightly the frame is fitted into the wall matter most, and uPVC with double-pane glass tends to give the quietest result in a bedroom.

Sliding or hinged: which kind of window keeps out more noise?

A hinged window, or a tilt-and-turn one, presses the sash against its seals when it closes, so it usually keeps out noise and dust better than a sliding window, which needs a little clearance to glide. Sliding windows save space and suit balconies and wide openings. Many people choose hinged windows for street-facing bedrooms and sliding ones for the balcony.

Is wood-aluminum worth the extra cost?

It is if the look of wood inside matters to how the room is decorated, while you still want aluminum standing up to the sun and dust outside. If your main goal is less noise, the glass and seals matter more than the wood finish.

Does taking out old frames damage the plaster around them?

Sometimes it leaves a little to tidy up. If the old frame is steel or wood set into the plaster, removing it may call for light patching around the opening, but in most cases the new frame goes into the same opening without real demolition. The technician will mention this before sending the price, so it doesn't come as a surprise.

Can one visit cover every window in the apartment?

Yes, and it's the sensible route if the windows are the same type and need the same work. List how many there are and what each one needs, with photos. The technician inspects them all in one visit and quotes the whole job in the app, and if you'd rather split the work, start with the rooms facing the street.

What's the difference between double-pane and tempered glass?

Double-pane glass is two sheets with a sealed gap between them, and that gap is what cuts noise and heat. Tempered glass is heat-treated so that if it breaks, it crumbles into small granules instead of sharp shards, which is why it's used in doors and low windows. One window can combine both.
