I'm sorry, I meant aluminum. Not sure what happened there. I don't see much aluminum being used around here though most of my past work was residential.

If you can, run cat5/6 out there and use an access point. If this isn't something you can do, a mesh system is wayyy better than a wifi extender.

I also have seen my share of in glass shades that don't look good or don't work well after a few years. I installed pella double hungs and I would do casements if I had a do over. The double hungs don't seal as well.

Copper may be more expensive but it's better. Less.chance of corrosion or loosening of terminals.
