What is UPVC? UPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, which is a material widely used in the construction industry. It’s a form of PVC that’s been stabilized to make it more durable and resistant to UV rays, weathering, and other environmental factors. UPVC is an excellent material for windows because it’s strong, lightweight, and doesn’t require painting or sealing

Benefits of UPVC Windows
Energy efficiency: UPVC windows are excellent insulators, meaning they keep the heat inside during winter and prevent it from entering during summer. This helps to reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint.
Durability: UPVC is a durable material that can withstand harsh weather conditions, such as heavy rain, wind, and hail. It doesn’t rot, warp, or corrode, making it a low-maintenance option for windows.
Noise reduction: UPVC windows can help to reduce noise pollution from outside, providing a more peaceful and comfortable indoor environment.
Security: UPVC windows are sturdy and difficult to break, making them a reliable option for home security.
Aesthetics: UPVC windows come in a range of colours and styles to suit any building design. They’re also easy to clean and maintain their appearance for years to come.
Types of UPVC Windows
Casement windows: Casement windows are the most popular type of UPVC window. They’re hinged on one side and open outwards, providing excellent ventilation and natural light.
Sliding windows: Sliding windows slide horizontally, making them ideal for spaces with limited vertical clearance. They’re easy to operate and provide a modern, streamlined look.
Tilt and turn windows: Tilt and turn windows can be tilted inwards for ventilation or fully opened inwards for cleaning. They’re a versatile option that combines functionality with style.

Maintenance of UPVC Windows
UPVC windows are low maintenance, but they still require occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best. Here are some tips for maintaining your UPVC windows:
- Clean them regularly with warm soapy water and a soft cloth.
- Don’t use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the UPVC material.
- Lubricate the hinges and locks every six months to keep them functioning smoothly.
- Check the weather stripping regularly and replace it if it’s worn or damaged.
- Keep the tracks of sliding windows and doors free of dirt and debris to prevent them from getting stuck.
Cost of UPVC Windows
The cost of UPVC windows varies depending on the size, style, and features you choose. However, UPVC windows are generally more affordable than other materials, such as aluminium or timber.
