HOW UPVC WINDOWS BENEFIT YOUR HOME

07 Jun HOW UPVC WINDOWS BENEFIT YOUR HOME

LOW MAINTENANCE
uPVC window frames don’t need painting or sealing which significantly reduces the maintenance required over their lifetime. They are easily cleaned with water and detergent.

TOUGH AND DURABLE
uPVC is a very durable material used in water and sewer pipes for at least 100 years. Good quality uPVC windows and doors are tested for ultraviolet resistance to ensure they won’t fade in the harsh sun.

ROT RESISTANT
uPVC windows do not rot and are very resistant to corrosion.

THERMAL COMFORT
Unlike metals, uPVC is non-conductive meaning its use in window frames does not transfer heat and therefore contributes to a more consistent internal temperature for a building. The combination of the frames of uPVC windows with double glazing makes for highly energy efficient windows.

OPENABLE TILT AND TURN
uPVC window systems allow for opening in two directions to enhance the ability of taking advantage of natural cross ventilation.

ACOUSTIC INSULATION
Double glazed uPVC windows and doors are able to cut down noise by as much as 70%.

RESISTANT TO SALT EROSION
uPVC windows are resistant to corrosion caused by salt-laden air making them ideal for coastal properties.

HIGH SECURITY
uPVC windows incorporate multi-locking systems providing a high level of security for homes or businesses. Most uPVC window locking systems lock at multiple points all around the sash and frame.

RECYCLABLE
uPVC can be recycled as often as 10 times.
