Selector questions
How does the material selector decide?
It scores PVC, timber and aluminium against your room, priority, budget and sun exposure using Adelaide-specific weightings. Wet rooms push toward PVC, outdoor toward aluminium, dry living areas toward timber, and the highest score wins with a runner-up shown.
Can I use more than one material in my home?
Yes, and it is often the smartest choice. Many Adelaide homes use waterproof PVC in wet areas and warm timber in living zones. If you choose whole home, the tool flags this mix and points you to the room-by-room estimator.
Is the recommendation final?
It is a strong starting point, not a rule. A specialist confirms the best material for your exact windows and exposure during a free measure. Use the recommendation to focus your quotes.
