Benefits of uPVC windows

uPVC (un-plasticised polyvinyl chloride) products have grown rapidly in popularity in recent years and has fast become one of the most widely used materials in the home. Most commonly used in the construction of windows, doors, guttering and pipes, wrapped around a galvanised steel core for exceptional strength.

Favoured by major glazing companies around the world, it is the number one choice thanks to it’s multiple benefits.

But, what are those benefits and why should you upgrade your windows?

It can take years to truly make your house a home and it goes without saying, we can all benefit from saving wherever we can. By opting for uPVC windows, you’re guaranteed to find a much more affordable deal than you would with an aluminium or timber equivalent.

Double whammy – not only are uPVC windows affordable, they also add value to your home. New windows can make a real difference, especially if you are planning to move in the near future. These relatively cheap solutions create a fresh, clean look for your property that will be sure to impress potential buyers, and may even insight some jealousy from the neighbours!

With the unpredictable weather in the UK, uPVC provides a solid solution for all types of weather. It’s waterproof so protects your property from the rain, damp or leaks, but also isn’t affected by temperature (hot or cold).
