    Why choose uPVC wood effect windows over real timber windows?

    It’s no wonder uPVC is the nation’s favoured window material. It tends to be the most cost-effective choice, yet still provides the excellent performances you’d expect of a modern replacement window. Our high-performance uPVC is thermally efficient, with Residence 9 windows featuring 9 insulating chambers and Residence 7 windows incorporating 7 chambers. They can even achieve A++ energy ratings, the very best available on the market!

There’s no need for the window to be varnished or for wood protection, uPVC is finished in an anti-fade protective coating, so it won’t fade, split or crack over time. Our high-quality uPVC windows will last for at least 35 years, continuing to perform and look like new.

    uPVC is highly robust and has shown its ability to withstand strong forces and harsh weathers. As well as secure internal beading, durable stays and handles, and heavy-duty Kenrick shoot-bolt hinges, we fit our heritage uPVC windows with multipoint locking systems as standard, so they pass strict industry standards and they’re proven to secure your home from common burglary techniques.
