In today’s ever-evolving home improvement market, aluminium has become a go-to material for design-led, architectural spaces where sleek style and large expanses of glass are a top priority. From aluminium bifold doors that open up walls, to minimalist aluminium casement windows and smooth-gliding aluminium sliding doors, demand is growing fast.
At Framexpress, we understand that trends change, so you need the products to keep up with demand. But we also know uPVC remains an essential material for many residential and commercial applications.
That’s why we don’t see aluminium and uPVC as competing options. Instead, we introduced our Ali by Framexpress range alongside our core uPVC offering, so you can meet the demands for every project, from high-end renovations to large-scale housing developments.
Aluminium is in demand, but uPVC still leads the way
The popularity of aluminium products – particularly aluminium sliding doors and aluminium bifold doors – shows no signs of slowing down. That means while homeowner trends develop and architectural preferences see aluminium become a popular choice, you need to be equipped with the products that keep you competitive.
It’s even more important as the market continues to present its challenges, but with our Ali by Framexpress range, you have an armoury of products to help. However, uPVC does still dominate high-volume residential applications, including social housing, new build developments, council-led retrofits, and the private rental market.
uPVC is also still an attractive option for homeowners, and thanks to modern innovations like foiled finishes, flush sashes, sleek hardware and heritage options, uPVC offers so much more versatility that it did a few years ago, helping meet the demands of design-focused customers.
So, what does this mean?
This isn’t about choosing aluminium over uPVC – it’s about having the right products for the right project. Our range of highly specified aluminium products make it so much easier to respond to growing demand, but without losing sight of what uPVC brings to the table.
Plus, along with the recent addition of our new composite door range, it means we offer a complete CLUB of products so you have all the products you need under one roof. So instead of spending hours dealing with multiple suppliers, you can relax knowing that you can secure high-quality consistent supply, on time, in full, every time.

In a changing market, your competitive edge comes from being able to offer your customers more choice, not less. Here at Framexpress, you have all the products you need under one roof, so you can confidently supply the products your customers are looking for.
