| Steel Section Frames | |
| Very Cheap easily accessible by common man | |
| Fabrication cost much less. | |
| No recurring expenditure: Little maintenance | |
| No effects of weather & moisture | |
| Easily withstands fire hazards | |
| Very high Strength can with stand heavy loads hence can be used in bigger windows/ doors. | |
| Use of steel ensures preservation of Forests & jungles thereby protection of environment and our own existence. | |
| Long Life | |
| Wooden Section Frames | |
| Too costly & beyond common Man's reach. | |
| Additional cost for fitting carpentry, polishing & finishing very high. | |
| Involves recurring expenditure for maintenance. | |
| Susceptible to effects of weather and moisture resulting in deformity shrinking, twisting & warping. | |
| Fire completely destroys. | |
| Is eaten away by termite, white ants & rats. | |
| Continuous use fast eliminating trees destroying natural heritage polluting environments so vitally needed for human survival. | |
| Durability & strength: Average | |
| Aluminium Section Frames | |
| Very costly as compared to steel sections. | |
| Durability & strength is average. | |
| No repairs possible. | |
| No flexibility in designs. | |
| Due to low melting point of aluminium fire resistivity is poor. | |
| PVC Section Frames | |
| Durability & strength is very poor. | |
| Cannot be recycled, a big environmental hazard. | |
| Repairs not possible at all. | |
| Available in standard sizes only so no design flexibility. | |
| Cannot withstand fire at all. | |
| Due to low strength cannot be used in bigger windows/ doors. | |
