10 benefits of uPVC Windows

#1 – Thermal Efficiency

Homes that are still fitted with single glazing lose over half of their home heat through their windows. This simply isn’t sustainable and uPVC double or triple glazing is far more energy efficient, offering excellent thermal insulation and helping you regulate the temperature of your home.

#2 – Looks great

uPVC windows come in a variety of colours and designs from traditional wood effect casement windows to bright and bold tilt and turn windows perfect for the contemporary home.

#3 – Reduce damp

By separating the inside and outside layers of glass more effectively, uPVC windows are far less prone to condensation and the damp associated with it. This will protect you from mould growth and damp related health issues.

#4 – Home value

New buyers recognise home improvements such as uPVC window installation when searching for a property and you may find your home goes up in value after installation.

#5 – Noise Reduction

Double glazing dramatically improves sound insulation in any property and will allow you to relax in peace after a tough day, protected from the chaos of the outside world.

#6 – Make your mark

Installing new windows is your opportunity to make your mark on your property and achieve the aesthetic that you have always dreamed of. Traditional, modern, stylish, bold, the choice is yours.

#7 – Help the environment

uPVC windows = lower energy use. This not only helps your wallet stay in good shape but also the planet, reducing emissions and your carbon footprint in one foul sweep.

#8 – Safety

Double or triple glazed windows put additional layers between you and the outside world, making it harder for intruders to break through. Keep your home and family safe at all times.

#9 – Reduce sun damage

Modern windows protect you from harmful UV radiation keeping your furniture, carpets, and artwork looking fresh and vibrant.

#10 – Easy to Maintain

All it takes to keep uPVC in great condition is a quick wipe down with some soap and water every now and again.
