Thanks Both- wood needs too much maintenance tbh- it's for a 1960s townhouse, so materials are not a concern as they would be for a victorian/Edwardian period house . I get Alu is nowhere near as thermally efficient, but it does look nicer..... @stevo_com, who are you going with for your uPVC?

What id like to find are uPVC windows with an Alu like profile and look (i get the frame will be thicker due to the properties of uPVC), welds that are close to invisible, flat fronted as opposed to the opening windows protruding when closed, and frames that are very black , not some shade of anthracite

I’d look at flush fit aluminium casement. You’ll get much nicer profiles and thinner sight lines than you would with upvc. You’ll also have a much greater range of colours on offer - I’m not sure rich black upvc exists. It’s always black/brown and often with a shitty grain texture.
