Are uPVC windows good?

Polyvinyl chloride (short uPVC or vinyl) has proven to be an extremely durable material for construction components such as casement windows. The average price for these products is lower than for other materials with comparable characteristics, for example, aluminum or timber. In the last decades, the continuous development of ever better profiles and the competitive uPVC windows prices made this material the most popular for new windows. Whether as a sliding solution or with a tilt function, white uPVC became the new standard for a standard glass window. The material also allows for different shapes and large sizes as the vinyl frame is supported by steel.

 

Colour variety to match individual taste

Modern products do not always have to be expensive. uPVC casement windows are inexpensive to buy compared to aluminium or wooden windows and have excellent values in all functions. They are in no way inferior to other sash windows and use the latest technology. Casement windows made of uPVC (or vinyl) thus embody the highest quality in an inexpensive guise. A combination that is not so easy to beat. Moreover, uPVC windows are no longer only available in plain white but can be ordered in a wide range of colours. This means that the building elements can be conveniently matched to the facade or interior wall.

Unlike windows made of wood or aluminium, uPVC windows are laminated with the help of a special film. This is already applied to the window sash and frame by the manufacturer so that the sash windows arrive at the customer's home ready for installation. In addition to the resulting variety of colours, the films also protect the uPVC from the weather, scratches and impacts.

 

Best thermal insulation through insulating glazing

Thermal insulation has become increasingly important in recent years. Windows and exterior doors are an important component in the system of thermal insulation for the entire house. In addition to the profiles of uPVC or vinyl windows, thermal insulating glass is a significant factor in the field of insulation. Double glazed windows can already make the difference between an energy-efficient and an energy-wasting household.
