8 Benefits of UPVC Windows

UPVC Windows have been a staple part of homes since the late 1980’s and still remain one of the top choices for your windows at home today. This is owing to a number of key benefits which UPVC has over its main rivals, wood and aluminium. Let’s explore more.

1 – Customisable

Developments in the manufacturing process have now meant that many more colours and types of thickness are available for containing your UPVC glass. This also includes imitation effects such as wood, giving you all of the warmth and efficiency of UPVC windows with a more aesthetically traditional design. UPVC windows can be designed to fit many types of windows, such as Sash, Georgian, or Bevelled standard and many more.

2 –Energy Efficient

UPVC windows come as double glazed as standard, but the air tight fitting of UPVC windows means no internal warmth is going to escape due to the installation process we provide. This can help to keep your home at a consistent temperature, meaning your boiler does not need to do as much work to keep your home cosy and warm which is a massive bonus currently with the rising cost of energy!

3 – Durable

UPVC coating protects against the sun’s UV rays and can withstand any of the elements. The average lifespan of UPVC windows can last anywhere up to 35 years, often longer, truly making it an investment in energy bill savings. Two main factors which determine the lifespan of UPVC windows is to ensure they have an independently verified A+ rating from the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) and are installed by skilled, qualified and experience glazing experts such as our team at Bingley Windows & Glass.

4 – Different Configurations

UPVC windows now can be designed to tilt and turn, meaning that your UPVC window can open inwards. This can be especially helpful in assisting the flow of air, helping to keep your house cooler in the warmer months.

5 – Soundproofing

Studies have shown that new double glazed UPVC windows can reduce noise pollution or outside noise by as much as 50%! If you live in a busy area with lots of traffic or hustle and bustle, UPVC can truly give you a sense of peace of mind whilst retaining all the benefits of living close to local community infrastructure.

6 – Fireproof

Changes to building regulations in the UK have also led to changes by manufacturers, which see the UPVC material being highly resistant to external fires. This can help keep this as a means to escape in a fire for up to 30 minutes, which whilst we hope you will never need to take advantage of, can give you peace of mind knowing that is an option.

7- Incredibly Low Maintenance

The UPVC material will rarely chip and does not need any touching up with paint as the years go on. Maintaining your windows has never been easier, as all a UPVC window requires is a cloth and surface cleaner to give it a good once over now and again.

8- Secure

Ultimately no matter what your design of windows, you want to be able to sleep soundly knowing you have reduced the risk of burglaries or intruders as much as possible. UPVC windows with a handle that clicks and locks are resistant to crowbars and other similar tools used for those purposes.
