Benefits of uPVC Over Timber

At Sashes of Surrey, we are an experienced and reputable company that supplies and installs uPVC sash windows for homeowners in Surrey. We pride ourselves on offering outstanding customer service and treating every customer like family. Our uPVC windows are a popular choice because they are easy to install. But before selecting your window material, you might be wondering how they compare to timber sash windows. In this article, we will explain the benefits of uPVC over timber. Read on to find out more!

Low Maintenance

In comparison to timber windows, one of the main attractions of uPVC windows is how low maintenance they are. Our range of vertical sliding uPVC sash windows is easy to clean internally and externally. The only thing you need to do to keep your uPVC windows looking as good as new is wipe them down with a damp cloth. This only needs to be completed a few times a year, which will save you money and time on repairs. As timber frames are prone to rotting and cracking due to weather damage, they require more costly and regular maintenance. As well as this, the finish of timber windows often needs to be repainted and slathered with weather resistant coatings, which is also costly and time consuming.

uPVC Windows Are Safe & Secure

When choosing Sashes of Surrey for your uPVC sash windows, you will benefit from a reputable company that delivers the best security. We partner with Roseview, a reputable and long standing manufacturer of uPVC sash windows. We supply the Ultimate Rose, Heritage Rose and Charisma Rose. The benefit of these three models is their modern and secure design that has been expertly crafted to replicate timber aesthetics. You won’t have to worry about the security of your uPVC windows, as they exceed the standards of traditional timber windows.

These windows include high quality security standards coupled with outstanding acoustic performance. This is perfect if you live in a busy neighbourhood or near a motorway. The double glazing that is included cuts out loud noises, giving you peace of mind. This is also ideal if you have a work from home job, as you won’t get distracted easily.

Weatherproof Against Tough Conditions

If you live in an area with heavy rainfall, then uPVC sash windows are a better choice than timber. uPVC windows won’t rust, warp, or fade in extreme conditions. As the windows are fitted tightly in the frame, your home will benefit from no mould, condensation, or draught spots entering. On the other hand, timber windows need repainting regularly because they warp and stand weak in face of tough weather conditions. Not only that but the wood gets damaged easily by termites and other insects.

Investing in a uPVC window may be an expensive short term decision, but they are durable and long lasting which will save you money in the long term. Our authentic range of uPVC windows will never need repainting, as the colour and wood finishing options we provide homeowners with will remain as vibrant as the day they were installed.

uPVC Windows That Genuinely Replicate Timber

At Sashes of Surrey, the three models that we offer are versatile styles designed for both period and modern homes.  They are manufactured to look indistinguishable from wood, meaning you or observers won’t be able to tell the difference. Furthermore, uPVC windows offer a lifespan of around 35 years, ensuring they will last for decades to come.

The windows that we install give your home a classic but modern appearance. This results in a smooth and elegant look that is beloved by all homeowners. It will also raise the market value of your property, making it more attractive to potential buyers.

Colour Options & Styles

At Sashes of Surrey, we believe that every homeowner should personalise their windows. Our uPVC windows are available in a bespoke range of colours. These include Chalk, Crystal White, and White Woodgrain, which reflects real wood. If these colours don’t suit you, get creative with our selection of RAL colours. This will bring out a vibrant look to your property and turn heads.

Our uPVC range allows the hardware to be customised as well. Choose from a bespoke selection of colours such as Chrome, Satin, Gold, and Antique Black. These choices will give your home a personal touch and stand out on any window. This gives our customers more choices than timber windows, which are only available in wood.

Thermally Efficient uPVC Windows 

Wood is a natural insulator of heat that will keep you warm. However, our modern uPVC windows offer outstanding thermal efficiency that is leagues ahead of their timber counterparts. All our options are ‘A’ rated because they use multi chambered profiles and gas and glass units that trap heat inside your home. Feel confident that you and your family will stay warm all year round.
