Modern materials, timeless appeal Why uPVC outperforms traditional timber for sash-style windows
uPVC has quickly become the UK’s most popular window material, and there are several reasons why it has dethroned timber. Unlike the latter, which requires regular painting, sanding, and treatment against rot and insect damage, uPVC frames are genuinely low maintenance, meaning an occasional wipe is all they need to look their best.
Modern uPVC technology also offers exceptional thermal efficiency, with multi-chambered profiles preventing heat loss and slashing energy bills. uPVC also enables superb customisation, with authentic woodgrain foiled colours including light oak, brown and green that replicate the traditional aesthetics of painted or stained timber, perfect for conservation areas.
