Jaslyn,

It's replacing aluminium rivets with stainless steel rivets.

The HDB webpage below will clarify evrything.

Yes, existing windows not older than 5 yrs dun need 2 change to stainless steel rivets now. In ur case you r fixing new windows, so the contractor shd use stainless steel rivets and not aluminium rivets. Otherwise, if they use aluminium rivets now, 5 years later you will still have to change them to stainless steel rivets.

Therefore, insist on stainless steel rivets, nothing else.
