Powder coated Alum. windows?

| I'd like to find out how long a powder-coated aluminium window would
last, before flaking spoils the look.
If it's not 20 years or more, I'll order anodized instead, but it's only
available in bronze or silver colour around here.
The powder-coated ones look great when new, but...
Climate is cool-temperate.

I've been selling powdercoated steel indoor furniture for more than 10 years
and have never had a customer come in to complain about flaking. I'd think
aluminum would be comparable. More than the flaking, I'd be concerned about
condensation.

Thanks S,
That sounds promising, if not proven over 20 years yet.
What do you mean by condensation? Is this something that aluminium
frames are prone too, but not powder-coated ones?

I'd figure any metal frame would be prone to condensation.

OK.
I'm forced to use metal, due to bushfire hazard.
