Why uPVC — and when to consider other options
uPVC windows are often the go-to solution for cost-effective builds. But they’re not always the best fit — especially in projects requiring premium aesthetics or ultra-thin frames.
For high-end projects that require:
- maximum durability,
- slim profiles,
- luxury design,
- or large glazing panels,
aluminum windows may be a better option than PVC.
If that sounds more like your situation, check our ranking of the best aluminum windows.

The most energy-efficient uPVC windows with the best quality-to-price ratio are Salamander bluEvolution 82.
Salamander has left the competition far behind, all thanks to its:
- reasonable price
- great thermal parameters
- NFRC-certification
Suggested alternative: Gealan Linear
If your client is looking for windows that will provide more light. As a window windows and doors broker, we recommend the Gealan Linear system. Compared to the winner of the category, the sash + frame height is lower by 0.51 in (4.84 in vs 4.33 in).
Linear is a system that also impresses with its design. It is deceptively similar to aluminum windows and is very often used in projects where uPVC and aluminum windows are combined.

Lowest sash + frame height
The lowest height – only 4.33 in – have Gealan 9000 and Gealan Linear windows.
Our new window ranking also takes into account the height of the profile visible from the outside. It consists of the height of the sash profile and the frame profile (see the figure below).
Why is it so important?
The lower the height, the more natural light that enters the room through the glass. The higher height means a smaller glass area. A window with a larger frame and a smaller pane area looks less aesthetic.
Minimalist, narrow-frame windows are currently the leading trend in the world, which can also be seen in the offers of system providers. Like other industries, the window also tends towards the smallest possible frames (including hidden sashes and low height), you combine better aesthetics with greater usability.
