uPVC windows and doors.
They use a blowlamp to soften the plastic....Silent!


But surely these things are actually located within the extruded
aluminium internals?

No, there's generally no such thing.

Aluminium extrusion is only fitted if the frame has to be load

lintel and the window/door isn't load bearing. It wouldn't be
fitted in the opener in any case.
