New construction aluminum or PVC roller shutter slats

Hello

we are currently planning our new building

We have reached the windows.

We can choose between PVC windows gray (standard) and aluminum windows (€60 per sqm).

What are the advantages and disadvantages of aluminum shutters compared to PVC and is the extra cost worth it?

I have another question regarding the security of the windows and front door. Most likely the standard security is sufficient and one does not need to invest in enhanced security features?

Thank you very much for your help

Regarding security, there are already some contributions. Just search for them. The need for security is individual and subjective. Certainly, the location, etc., also plays a role. Security is always a holistic concept and not just components such as doors and windows. Most of the time, it fails anyway because of the budget.

What are the advantages of aluminum roller shutters compared to PVC?

Well, they are more stable, so they warp less with large formats, are less susceptible to wind, do not become brittle over time, are a bit heavier, which makes them run better especially with small formats. However, they are naturally somewhat more sensitive in terms of surface, especially if you tend to choose coated color variants.

You have to decide that for yourself. We had PVC before and are now significantly more satisfied with aluminum, even on the south side and in a dark color.

There was already some input here:

We have aluminum and are very satisfied with it. The color "Naturell" was chosen. It suits every color scheme and is not so "dirt-sensitive".
