The Benefits of UPVC Windows

As well as many types of UPVC windows, there are also many benefits. If you call us today and book your installation, you will discover the benefits of UPVC windows for yourself. But for now, you can read about the benefits below.

Low Maintenance: UPVC window frames don’t need painting or sealing which significantly reduces the need for regular maintenance. UPVC windows are easy to clean – simply wipe down with a damp cloth.

Durable and Long-Lasting: UPVC windows are extremely long-lasting. Good quality UPVC materials that are tested for ultraviolet resistance to ensure they won’t fade in the sun will last you for 30 years or more. And if you have your windows professionally installed by our team, you can rest assured they will last for many years to come.

Resistant to Rot: because UPVC windows are not made of timber, they are resistant to rot and corrosion – even if situated in an area prone to bad weather. UPVC materials are also resistant to salt corrosion, making them an ideal choice for coastal properties.

Thermally Efficient: UPVC is a non-conductive material, meaning that the windows do not transfer heat, so the heat in your home is consistent and comfortable whatever the weather. The combination of UPVC windows and double glazing that we install makes for highly energy efficient windows and lower energy bills as a result.

High Security: it is reported that 23% of thieves enter a property through the first-floor windows. So, if your windows are not properly secure, you could be putting your home and your family at risk. Thankfully, one of the main benefits of the UPVC windows we sell is that they incorporate multi-locking systems to provide a high level of security for your home or business.

Recyclable: it may be an odd benefit to list when you are considering buying UPVC windows for your home, but UPVC can be recycled as often as 10 times. This makes it a very efficient material and one that can be safely recycled at the end of its life.

Considerations to Make when Choosing New Windows

With some many options and such a wide range of choices to make, it can be difficult to make a decision. So, we have put together a list of the considerations you need to make when choosing new windows. We hope it makes the process a little easier for you!

Consider Energy Efficiency: when buying new windows, you want to invest in energy-efficient materials. With our UPVC windows, you are guaranteed a warmer home and a significant reduction on your heating bills.

Window Security: alongside the two points above, one of the most essential considerations you need to make is how secure you want your home to be.
