Why Replace Wooden Windows With UPVC
If you are replacing wooden windows and you are on a tight budget, consider using uPVC. Both uPVC and wood provide good thermal efficiency and they look good and can last for many years. If you are wondering why replace wooden windows with uPVC? Then these are the reasons.
If you still want to retain a timber look, there are plastic apertures that have been made to look like wood. This is a great look for an older house
When it comes to maintenance, it is easier to clean plastic surfaces as compared to timber. When cleaning plastic, all you need to do is to wipe it down. There is no need for specialized treatments. On the other hand, when cleaning timber, more care needs to be taken. You may need to repaint it or sand it down after some years.
Plastic windows are cheaper. This is because they are mass produced. Therefore, if you do not have a lot of money to spend, but you need to replace your apertures, then this will be a nice option to consider. They are also available in different colors and styles. This makes them quite a popular choice for many homeowners, as it is easy to find something that matches the style of your home.
Plastic is quite durable. This is because it does not rust or rot. They are also able to withstand different kind of weather and still remain in good condition. They are also tough, so it is hard to damage them. If taken care of well, they can last for many decades.
Plastic apertures can be double glazed. This helps to insulate the room. This helps to keep heat in and noise out, making for a more comfortable environment to live in. If your home is draughty, replacing your apertures with plastic can help to improve the energy efficiency, especially if you use a double glazed option.
Plastic apertures are safe and secure. They help to improve the security of your house, since they are strong, making it harder for someone to break in. This is as long as there is proper maintenance of it and it is not damaged in any way. This will give you peace of mind as you are in your home, helping you to relax, as you know that your house is well protected.
Conclusion
If you are replacing timber windows and you are looking for something that is low maintenance, cheaper and quite attractive, then plastic is your best bet.
A wish come true, Elite Windows and Conservatories have done a superb job building our conservatory from start to finish. Very professional and very friendly service from all involved. In particular the area sales manager Jack Harris who was there giving us advice and following up at every stage of the installation. Very happy with the cost as well. So glad we chose them to fulfil our dream.
Elite Windows did my Conservatory 13 years ago, which is my favourite room in the house. So when my back door broke, there was no hesitation where to go, and I wasn't wrong. Absolutely amazing job from start to finish, even going the extra mile and fixing my Conservatory guttering without even mentioning. Next stop a porch .... Thank you so much, look forward to seeing you soon 😊
I had enquired with a number of window replacement companies and asked neighbours for recommendations , right from the get go Elite Windows kept becoming the front runner. I sent an enquiry into them online and the very next day I received a phone call from one of the office women who arranged for Jack to review my request. Jack promptly called and arranged a visit that same day and gave us a quote. I was impressed with the service so far and the quote as we had 3 x 12ft bay window and 2 x smaller windows to fit was very reasonable and competitive. we signed up and waited 5 weeks to work commenced. The guys who came to fit all the windows were fabulous. they came early , cracked on with the job , tided up as they went along, kept us informed of progress and next steps. on the final day we had to leave them to it and they locked up after themselves and we came home to a completed job , all clean and organised.. Brilliant. A final phone call from the office later that day to see that we were happy with everything and then payment.could not be more pleased.
FANTASTIC service from start to finish. Superb quality doors, windows and solid roof at a good price. Excellent value for money.We're so very pleased with our new conservatory, it has made such a difference. The builders are professional and very skilled. An AMAZING job. I definitely recommend the team at Elite Windows.
