What is uPVC?

In this post, we are going to explore the benefits of investing in Upvc Sash Windows, not only the financial benefits to your property value but the longterm achievements to security and running costs for your home.

uPVC stands for Unplasticised Polybinul Chloride. It is a tough plastic that’s proven to be a popular choice of window frame for homeowners across the UK – largely thanks to its low price tag and great properties!

It is usually white in appearance but the choice of colours and styles is ever-growing to make it easier when searching from window frames that suit your home. Here at U Fit Sash Windows, we can offer you uPVC in a range of different colours and finish effects!

 

 

 

 

 

Benefits of  uPVC Sash Windows:

 

 

  • Energy Efficient

The superior insulation of double glazed windows will lower heating bills, reduce your carbon footprint and prevent noise entering from outside.

 

 

 

  • Price and Personalisation

uPVC are the cheapest material for sash windows, but price does not compromise quality. There are many designs available so you can be sure to find a window that will suit your home perfectly. Different styles of UPVC sash window can be integrated throughout your home, including glazing and framing designs. You can even have a woodgrain effect finish resembling the aesthetic qualities of traditional timber windows.

  • Low Maintenance

uPVC windows only require occasional cleaning with general household cleaning products, whereas Timber will need to be re-painted regularly and is subject to weathering.


  • Better Ventilation

Many UPVC sash windows can open at the top and the bottom. In hot summer months, opening both ends creates a cycle of cool air entering at the bottom and warm air exiting at the top, unlike other traditional windows. This results in a cooler and more comfortable room.

 

  • Less Condensation

The inside pane of a double glazing unit is warmer than that of single glazing, which helps to prevent condensation from forming. The airtight seal around the window also makes it less likely for mould to develop.

 

  • Easy to Open

Over time, as wood expands and contracts, many older sash windows can be difficult to open. Modern UPVC sash windows are not susceptible to expansion and contraction and have a counterbalancing system to ensure that they will always be easy to open and close.
