There is a risk of oxidation and corrosion

Oxidation is a natural phenomenon that befalls in aluminium which is likely to root rust in its frames. As time passes, aluminium windows oxidize and develop white coloured scum and fissures. Likewise, if appropriate actions are not taken to confront electrolysis in aluminium, then it is also vulnerable to corrosion.

There is abundant heat loss and heat gain apart from internal condensation

Aluminium is a metal and a very good conductor of heat so definitely buildings with aluminium windows are much warmer than others. Also, aluminium frames allows condensation on internal surfaces of the windows shaming a series of concerns.
