Veka AluConnect is a one-of-a-kind engineering solution that fuses the strengths of two materials into one integrated system. Unlike ordinary windows clad in aluminum, here the metal is no mere decoration but a structural, load-bearing element. The outer aluminum shell carries every static load, which makes steel reinforcement inside the profile unnecessary. Tucked within is the "warm heart" — a multi-chamber PVC profile that delivers top-level thermal insulation no conventional aluminum system can match without costly thermal breaks.
The system was engineered specifically for contemporary architecture, with crisp rectangular lines, slim mullions, and the option of powder coating in any RAL color. Because the aluminum and PVC are rigidly bonded, the window holds its perfect geometry through every temperature swing. It is the ideal choice for anyone who wants the upscale look of aluminum windows without sacrificing indoor comfort or overspending on heating.

PVC and aluminium are the two frames you will be quoted for almost every window in Spain, and the right answer changes from Valencia to Vigo. This guide compares them head-to-head on insulation, price per m², coastal durability, sizes, colours and noise, then gives a clear verdict by scenario and region.
A full data report on windows and doors in Spain: the PVC value chain traced through customs data (resin, profiles, finished units), where Spain buys its profiles and ships its windows, the €4.16-billion domestic sector, the swing from aluminium to PVC, and the subsidy bottleneck holding back a 20-million-home renovation backlog.
A neutral, like-for-like comparison of the PVC profile brands sold in Spain — Kömmerling, Veka, Rehau, Deceuninck, Schüco and the major Spanish systems — by chambers, Uw, reinforcement and price tier. We also explain why the company that fits the window matters at least as much as the brand on the box.
The oscilobatiente window opens two ways from a single handle: tilt inward for safe ventilation or swing fully open for cleaning. Here's how the mechanism works, how it compares with sliding and casement windows, and what it costs in Spain in 2026.
The best window for a bedroom is not the best window for a kitchen, a bathroom or a living room. This room-by-room guide explains what to prioritise in each space — acoustics and blackout for sleeping, easy-clean ventilation for cooking, privacy and moisture resistance for bathrooms, light and views for living areas, safety for children's rooms — so every window in the house earns its place.
Traffic, terraces, airports and nightlife — Spanish streets are loud, and your windows are the weakest link. This guide explains acoustic ratings (dB and Rw), exactly what makes a window quiet, the realistic noise reduction you can expect, and precisely what to specify in a quote so you can compare verified companies on equal terms.
FAQs
AluConnect is an 82 mm deep hybrid build with a 114 mm profile height. A structural aluminium contour faces the outside, a multi-chamber PVC core sits within, and 3 gasket lines (MD system) seal the join, with the central seal moulded into the PVC. It reaches frame value Uf 1.1 W/m²K and full-window Uw ≤ 1.1 W/(m²·K).
AluConnect takes glazing of up to 58 mm, a record figure for the standard series. A glass unit can be bonded into the sash for a seamless glass look and added rigidity. The thick rebate makes room for heavy laminated acoustic glass or triple units, supporting its ≈46 Rw(dB) acoustic rating.
AluConnect is the most expensive VEKA window here at €800–1,000, so it is hard to justify when looks aren't a priority. Burglary resistance reaches RC2 class, so higher security ratings are out of scope. For the lowest U-values, the all-PVC Softline 82 (Uw ≤ 0.80) outperforms it.
All four share the VEKA family but differ by the numbers:
The outer aluminium is finished by powder coating in any RAL colour, anodizing, or wood-effect sublimation. Because aluminium faces the weather and the inner PVC is shielded from the sun, the expected lifespan is practically endless. The finish resists vandalism and holds its colour for decades.
Outside you get a flawless 90-degree aluminium mitre, mechanically joined or crimped like a costly aluminium window, with none of the ground-down weld seam PVC normally shows. Inside, the PVC is welded for air-tightness, so each material plays to its strength.
