    WINDOW MATERIALS
    Windows are made from wood, aluminum, PVC,
    fiberglass, or from a combination of these materials.
    i. WOOD WINDOWS
    Wood windows are warm, traditional and
    aesthetically pleasing.
    Because it is a good insulator, wood does not
    become cold like metal and glass.
    Wood is treated with preservatives to prevent rotting.
    Wood windows can be painted on the exterior, or
    clad with aluminum or PVC profiles for better
    weathering and reduced maintenance.

    ii. ALUMINUM WINDOWS


    Aluminum windows are more durable than wood, and
    are thinner, lighter, and easier to handle.
    But aluminum is a poor insulator and in cold weather,
    Most recent aluminum windows are manufactured with
    a thermal break, a vinyl or rubber strip that separates
    the exterior and interior aluminum parts of the window.
    The thermal break reduces the movement of cold from
    the outside to the inside of the building.
    Most commercial applications still specify aluminum
    windows.

    iii. PVC WINDOWS


    PVC windows are relatively new, having only
    been introduced during the last 25 years.
    These windows are extruded from highimpact
    resistant polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
    PVC windows have excellent weathering
    characteristics, are almost maintenance-free
    and have excellent resistance to heat loss.
    PVC is available in several extruded colours.

    iv. FIBERGLASS WINDOWS


    Fiberglass windows are the latest window products
    to be developed.
    Fiberglass and PVC lineals look similar at first
    glance, however, fiberglass is much more rigid than
    PVC
