to reduce the heat loss via the aluminium frame or Do I need to
consider replcement with UPVC.


Some sort of wood covering will help, perhaps stuck on with a suitable
adhesive due to the difficulties of drilling.

A couple of thin beads of expanding polyurethane foam might work quite
well as an adhesive in this case.
