Available in many different styles, entrance and patio doors will compliment your home perfectly, what ever the style
As PVC-U is impermeable to water, our top quality doors eliminate the problems of draughts and leeks caused when doors swell, shrink and warp.

get to the stage where you would like to add replacement double glazed PVC-U windows for that
finishing touch.

agree  Сергей Лузан: That's the most likely.
4 mins
  -> Thank you. Ñåðãåé Ëóçàí. For example, steelwork is a very used term in construction for steel structures.

agree  Paul Mably (X): this is the best choice for this context
1 hr
  -> Thank you, Paul.

agree  jerrie: PVC/aluminium construction
1 hr
  -> Thank you, Jerrie. Construction gives the idea of a structure, and I believe we are talking of frames and other minor items.

neutral  Yasser El Helw: En España, carpentería de PVC o de aluminio se refiere a las ventanas y puertas, y no a la industía de tales materiales. Y esto en ingles se llama "Frames", y no es un invento. Of windows and doors only the frames are made of PVC or aluminium.
17 hrs
  -> Hola, Yasser. En Argentina, carpintería de PVC incluye no sólo las puertas y ventanas sino también los tabiques divisorios, tan comunes en los edificios de oficinas.

PVC millwork / Aluminum millwork / Aluminum valances


Explanation:
I have just finished translating a booklet on large modules and got a glossary from the very manufacturers in Canada. Millwork is the term they used for both plastic and aluminum "carpintería". If the aluminum thing refers to the "borders" made of aluminum, the word "valance" works fine
