uPVC - A popular choice
One of the most popular materials for building windows and doors, delivering style, versatility, durability and energy-efficiency - and it could be a once in a lifetime purchase.
See our simple guide to uPVC, and why it may be your smartest option.
Windows and Doors – Why uPVC might be just what you need.
On the face of it, if there could only be one material out there for making windows and doors, PVC-U would be the winner.
It offers an optimal combination of value, performance and flexibility – and, for many people, the sheer range of styles, accessories and colours comes as a revelation.
The sustainability credentials of uPVC are impressive too with manufacturing technologies delivering longer lifespans as well as advances in recycling processes.
When you’re considering updating your home with a new set of windows and doors, give uPVC some serious consideration.
Here’s a run down of what makes it so ideal:
IT’S DURABLE: uPVC can withstand the elements. It is not susceptible to rot, decay or warping, and it can withstand heavy rain, snow and wind.
IT’S ENERGY EFFICIENT: uPVC windows and doors have a high level of energy-efficiency, which can help to lower heating and cooling costs. They have a high insulation value too, which helps to keep the heat in during the winter and air cool during the summer.
IT’S LOW MAINTENANCE: Forget the annual chore of painting or staining doors and windows. Good old soap and water will keep uPVC products looking great. Solvent-based or abrasive cleaners should be avoided though.
IT’S VERSATILE: uPVC frames, sashes and sills and doors can be customized to coordinate perfectly with the style and finish of any home. There is also an extensive range of colours and finishes that can be selected, whether bold and bright or classic and traditional.
IT’S RECYCLABLE: uPVC window and doors have an average lifespan of between 30 and 40 years. Industry-leading recycling processes allow the same product to be recycled up to 10 times, which makes the maths simple: a life expectancy of up to 400 years from a single window or door. Recycling old uPVC windows and doors prevents materials from ending up in landfills unnecessarily, giving old uPVC windows and doors a new lease of life.
