Benefits of uPVC

When considering the energy efficiency of windows the frame and glass must be considered as a unit together. Choosing the wrong frame can negate the benefits of the double glazing you are seeking to achieve. uPVC and wood do not conduct heat so these significantly increase the thermal performance of the window. Aluminium frames conduct the unwanted heat into or out off your house you are trying to insulate even if it is double glazed. To achieve a similar thermal performance the aluminium frame must be thermally broken.

Insulate Double Glazing’s uPVC windows have been specifically designed for double glazing and feature two sheets of glass (standard 4mm each) separated by a 16mm insulated layer of air; Their insulation properties mean that your home or office will work to retain heat in the winter, and cool air in the summer. So not only will you save money on your energy bills, you’ll also reduce your carbon footprint.

Sanding, painting and varnishing – all things that are common requirements with wooden windows frames – are not applicable with uPVC. uPVC windows, on the other hand offer a low maintenance solution. Apart from needing to give your windows the occasional wipe down with soapy water, you’ll be able to put your efforts to something else more interesting!

Where wooden frames can rot and warp due to inclement weather, uPVC provides a much more durable option. All of our windows come with a 10-year guarantee, but can be expected to last well beyond that length of time without ever deteriorating.

Unlike their wooden counterparts, uPVC windows are difficult to ignite, and therefore ensure improved standards of fire safety in your property. uPVC is a non-toxic material that is designed to be difficult to ignite and stop burning once the source of the fire is removed.
