The windows you choose for your home are not only practical for keeping the cold out and the warmth in, they also are an expression of our personal taste and style. When looking for replacement windows to complement your home then it’s important to take into consideration the period of the property as well as your own preference and budget.

PVC windows have many advantages in comparison to other window materials. They are particularly strong and will last for years, and are extremely durable in all weather conditions as, unlike timber, they aren’t prone to warping or rotting. Another major benefit they offer is a high level of security against intruders as they can’t be broken through and their internal beading guarantees they can’t be removed from the outside. They reduce outside noise to a minimum and keep your home nice and peaceful.

The range of styles and colours for PVC windows is huge and whatever the architectural style of your property you are sure to find something that will fit in with your requirements and suit your home. Practically maintenance-free, they don’t require varnishing, repainting or resealing, just a wash every now and again to keep them looking as good as new.

Single or double glazed options are available depending on your requirements, with toughened safety glass used for both security and safety reasons. If you have young children then you can also arrange for child-proof locks to be fitted.

To really make the most of your new PVC double glazing finish it off by window boards and trims as they provide a neat and clean edge and complete the overall look. Extremely durable, they are designed for a long-life performance and very easy to fit. You can do it yourself if you have any DIY skills as they just slot together. Or get the contractors who fit your windows to do the whole lot for you.

Trims and boards are available in a range of colours to match all window profiles, choose from a choice of bright or standard white, black, rosewood, mahogany and golden oak. Window boards can add a unique style and elegance to any home and a tough, hard-wearing surface for plants, lamps and other bits and pieces. Manufactured to the highest standards using top-quality materials they are pressure-laminated which makes them resistant to scratches, stains, heat and moisture resistant, and waterproof.

PVC is appropriate for all kinds of environments, from hot and humid climates to dry. It doesn’t rot or rust, and protects against termites and other pests that are attracted to timber. Virtually maintenance free, you’ll never need to sand it down or touch up the paintwork, once fitted then all that is necessary to keep your window boards in perfect condition is a wipe-down with a damp cloth and non-abrasive cleaner.

In today’s environmentally aware world most of us veer towards timber products as they are manufactured from renewable resources and generally preferable to man made materials. However, these days PVC is completely recyclable. Made from a non-lead formulation that complies with guidance from the EEC, UK Government and the PVC industry concerning the removal of lead from PVC, products are quality assured and should be BBA, CSTB accredited and BSI kitemarked.
