There’s no explicit information available on whether the Bahrain window and door market is dominated by either UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) or aluminum alloy windows. That said, both materials are popular in various markets around the world, each having its distinct advantages.
UPVC Windows & Doors:
These are energy efficient because they have excellent insulation properties. They are relatively low in cost, durable, and require less maintenance as they do not rust, rot, or need painting. They are also resistant to UV radiations, ensuring that the window’s color doesn’t fade under the intense sun. UPVC windows and doors can also be designed with excellent security features. However, aesthetically they might not appeal to everyone and they are less eco-friendly than wood or aluminum.
Aluminum Alloy Windows & Doors:
The main advantages of aluminum alloy windows and doors are their sleek, modern aesthetics, strength, and lightness. They are also highly flexible in terms of design and are available in various color options. Aluminum windows provide slim lines, more glass, and a less visible frame. Their durability is very high, especially in harsh weather conditions – they do not rust or rot. Moreover, they are eco-friendly as aluminum is a fully sustainable product, it’s 100% recyclable with no loss of quality. However, they generally are more expensive compared to UPVC windows and doors.
Some factors that may determine the domination of one over the other could be the climate of Bahrain, consumer preference regarding aesthetics, eco-consciousness, and budget levels.
