Plastic windows: foiled or aluminum shell?

Hello everyone,

what are the advantages and disadvantages between plastic windows that are color-foiled or equipped with a colored aluminum shell? Thank you very much

Hello,
here is our decision basis

Advantages of the aluminum shell:

[*]Less prone to scratches and minor damage.
[*]We did not want patterned foil (appearance); we were advised against unpatterned foil due to its sensitivity.
[*]Subjectively better appearance.
[*]Color tone and surface match our front door and garage door 100%.

Disadvantages of the aluminum shell:

[*]Costs.

Thank you for the response. So with my window maker, the aluminum shells are available in all possible RAL colors, as they are powder coated
