Single, Double & Triple Glazed Windows

UPVC windows are favoured for several key reasons:

Energy Efficiency: UPVC windows provide excellent thermal insulation, helping to maintain consistent indoor temperatures and reduce energy costs. Many UPVC windows are double or triple-glazed, enhancing their insulating properties.
Durability: UPVC is resistant to weathering, rust, and corrosion, making it a long-lasting window option. Unlike wood, it does not warp, rot, or require frequent painting.
Low Maintenance: These windows are easy to clean and require minimal upkeep. A simple wash with soapy water is usually sufficient to keep them looking new.
Security: UPVC windows often come with multi-point locking systems, providing enhanced security against break-ins.
Aesthetic Versatility: Available in various styles, colours, and finishes, UPVC windows can complement any architectural design, from modern to traditional.

Supplying uPVC windows involves several stages:

Consultation and Measurement: The process begins with a consultation where suppliers assess the customer’s needs, preferences, and the specific measurements of the window openings. Accurate measurements are crucial for ensuring a perfect fit.
Product Selection: Customers can choose from a range of window styles, including casement, tilt and turn, sliding sash, and bay windows. Suppliers often provide samples and catalogues to help customers make informed decisions.
Manufacturing: Once the specifications are finalized, the windows are manufactured to order. This ensures that each window fits perfectly and meets the desired standards of quality and performance.
Quality Control: Before delivery, the windows undergo rigorous quality control checks to ensure they meet industry standards and the supplier’s quality benchmarks.

Installing UPVC windows involves several critical steps to ensure they are fitted correctly and function as intended:

Preparation: The installation team prepares the site by removing the old windows and cleaning the openings. This may involve minor repairs to the surrounding masonry or woodwork to ensure a solid base for the new windows.
Fitting the Frame: The new UPVC window frame is carefully positioned in the opening. The installers check that the frame is level and plumb, making adjustments as necessary to ensure a precise fit.
Securing the Frame: The frame is then secured in place using fixings appropriate to the building material, such as screws or anchors. It is essential to use the correct type of fixing to avoid damaging the frame or the building structure.
Sealing and Insulation: To prevent drafts and improve thermal efficiency, the gaps around the frame are sealed with expanding foam or silicone sealant. This step is crucial for achieving optimal energy performance.
Glazing: The glass panes are installed into the frame. Depending on the design, this may involve fitting individual panes or pre-glazed units. The glazing beads or gaskets are then applied to secure the glass in place.
Final Adjustments and Checks: The installation team makes any necessary adjustments to ensure the windows open, close, and lock correctly. They also conduct a final inspection to verify the installation meets quality standards and the customer’s requirements.
