The choice between uPVC and timber windows involves some trade-offs. uPVC windows are durable, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, with inherent insulation properties. However, they may lack the natural warmth of timber. Timber windows offer classic aesthetics and are generally more eco-friendly, but they require more maintenance and can be costlier upfront. Timber is also stronger than uPVC, and so requires less frame to support the same amount of glass. Larger, clear-view windows are limited to timber frames for this very reason.

uPVC is the better option if you’re looking for affordability and minimal maintenance, while timber offers better aesthetics and eco-friendliness. Both materials have their advantages and disadvantages, and the decision should align with your individual preferences, budget, and the specific needs of your property.

The key difference between PVC and uPVC windows lies in material composition. PVC, containing plasticisers like BPA and phthalates, is more flexible. uPVC, on the other hand, does not contain these plasticisers, resulting in a rigid and robust material. The absence of plasticisers enhances its strength, making uPVC particularly well-suited for the manufacturing of windows and doors. This strength contributes to the durability and stability of uPVC products, making them a preferred choice where security and longevity is a priority. Put simply, uPVC windows are the better choice in 99% of cases.

The cost of uPVC windows is usually more budget-friendly compared to their wooden or aluminium counterparts. The exact cost of your new uPVC windows will depend on various factors such as chosen colour, glazing, window size, type, energy efficiency rating and profile. Peerless Windows offers free estimates, and the best way to get an accurate cost is to book a consultation with one of our uPVC window advisors.

uPVC windows have an average lifespan of 20 to 25 years, and in some cases, even longer – around 35 years. However, it’s important to note that this longevity is influenced by several factors, including ongoing maintenance practices. Opting for high-quality uPVC windows offered by Peerless Windows is a fantastic investment, as our windows generally exhibit prolonged durability and superior performance compared to their lower-quality counterparts. Prioritising quality not only ensures a longer lifespan but also enhances the overall performance and efficiency of your windows over time.

uPVC windows are renowned for their security features. The material’s durability and resistance to impact make uPVC windows inherently secure against forced entry.

Our uPVC window designs incorporate multi-point locking systems, enhancing security further. These locking mechanisms engage at multiple points around the window frame, creating a strong barrier which is very difficult to breach. They can also accommodate additional security features like laminated glass and reinforced frames. Our uPVC window advisors can provide you with more information regarding available security systems.

All of our windows are PAS24 certified, meaning they have gone through rigorous testing to prove their high security performance levels and meet all national standards.

Our uPVC windows are available in a wide array of colours, as well as textures and finishes. Some of the most popular colours include white, cream, grey and green, but the possibilities are virtually endless. A faux woodgrain finish is also popular and creates the traditional look of timber frames with the benefits of modern uPVC. Other colour options include dual colour, where the inside is finished in white and the outside is coloured.
