Yes, the windows are uPVC. The performance values between uPVC and aluminum are similar and both are available with double or triple glazing. The all aluminum will run higher in cost. As far as recommending one line over another, our suggestions are based on geographic location, climate, architectural style, and the performance desired by the client while keeping their budget in mind.
