WHY CHOOSE uPVC DOUBLE GLAZING?

Keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. With energy bills increasing we are all looking at ways to save. By fitting double glazed uPVC windows and doors your home will be more thermally efficient than a home with standard 3mm window panes. Aluminium windows are very durable but offer little insulating value. Wood windows have good thermal and insulation qualities but are prone to weather deterioration and need maintaining. uPVC windows and doors won’t flake, peel, blister, rot, rust or corrode making them the most durable available material on a market. They have great noise insulation, ideal for people living beside a busy road and they have improved security with multi-point locking systems.

WHAT IS uPVC?

uPVC is an abbreviation of for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride. It is a rigid PVC. PVC is a commonly produced thermoplastic material. Colour goes through the complete thickness of the material meaning, when it is scratched, the marks can be polished out. uPVC can be welded to give clean joins and it cannot corrode, even with direct contact with salt water.

ARE THEY REALLY MAINTENANCE FREE?

Yes, uPVC is incredibly strong and durable. They do not break, discolour, warp, or are affected by salt. They are as close to indestructible as it gets! The only maintenance our windows and doors may require is to lubricate the locking mechanism occasionally.
