uPVC Windows

So, why are uPVC windows so popular? The simple answer to this question is that they just offer such a wide range of benefits for your home. From top-level resilience and easy maintenance to clean aesthetics and enhanced energy savings, uPVC supply only windows are guaranteed to provide high levels of performance for any property. Let’s take a look at the top 10 reasons uPVC windows may be perfect for your home: 

Energy Efficiency  

As uPVC is a non-conductive material, the level of heat transfer from your window frames is minimised. This means that heat loss is significantly reduced so comfortable and consistent temperatures can be maintained within the home. When combined with double-glazing, uPVC frames are perfect for enhancing the energy efficiency of your property whilst cutting down on running costs. 

Low Maintenance  

Unlike natural alternatives that need regular sanding, varnishing, and painting, uPVC is a highly self-sufficient material. It requires only very easy wipe-down cleaning on an occasional basis to remove any built-up dirt and grime. 

Durability 

Completely resistant to rot, decay and corrosion, uPVC windows offer exceptional levels of durability against pretty much anything the outside world can throw at them. As the uPVC coating is also highly resistant to UV radiation, you won’t have to worry about fading or discolouration under high levels of sun exposure.  

Security 

With an ultra-sturdy structure that doesn’t break easily, uPVC window frames offer a reliable and long-lasting level of security for your home. Pair with double glazing and a robust locking system, to relax with the confidence that your home is safe and protected.  

Eco-Friendly 

Proven as one of the most environmentally friendly window frame materials on the market, uPVC is the perfect choice for anyone looking to create a more eco-conscious home. With its impressive lifespan and use of recycled materials in manufacturing, uPVC is brilliantly sustainable with reduced environmental impact. 

Weather Resistant 

As uPVC is non-reactive to water and air, you won’t have to worry about natural weather conditions badly ageing or damaging your window frames. With its highly resilient structure, uPVC can withstand the harshest elements all year round from very hot summers to very stormy winters.  

Soundproofing 

When combined with double glazing, uPVC frames can help to reduce external noise transmission by up to 50% when correctly installed. This means you won’t have to worry about the sound of loud neighbours or busy traffic disrupting your home. 

Cost-effective 

In comparison to alternatives such as aluminium and hardwood timber, uPVC window frames are considerably more affordable and far better suited to a range of different budgets. Although prices will of course depend on the size and quality of the frame, when ordering from DIY Megastore you can be sure that all of our cost-effective options maintain a top-level standard of structural quality.  

Colour & Style Range 

Although the standard finish for uPVC windows is typically white, advancements in the manufacturing process have now enabled a far broader range of colours, styles and finishes to be available. Discover the stylish options out there and find a look that perfectly suits the aesthetic of your property. 

Glazing  

The level of glazing you opt for will have a major impact on the insulative properties and overall structural strength of your windows. Double and triple glazing will provide the highest quality performance when paired with a uPVC frame.  

Picking a window frame that coordinates well with the style and aesthetic of your home is a fantastic way of boosting curb appeal and even increasing the value of the property. Thankfully, homeowners are no longer limited to the very basic designs and finishes that they once were with uPVC windows. Now, there are a superb selection of different styles, colours, shapes and finishes out there on the market to suit virtually every kind of home.
