Although timber windows can be a high quality and highly durable alternative to pvcu window products, it is likely you will pay a premium for these goods.

Pvcu windows can achieve the best window energy ratings available when fitted with the correct glazing specification. This is a key reason for selecting pvc based windows for a renovation or new build project as it could reduce heating bills to a significant level.

Although pvcu windows tend to have a shorter life expectancy over alternative window products, they often come with lengthy guarantees for both glass and frames. When using bespoke finishing options on a pvcu window, this life expectancy could increase by a significant amount and this has led to an increase of commercial architects selecting the use of pvcu windows on larger projects such as schools and hotels who would usually select aluminium based products.

Foiled effects are commonly available in colours matching that of traditional oak and rosewood. These foiled finishes can be ideal for blending in window products in areas where timber has long been used for these products.

Many manufacturers across the UK offer a wide variety of window styles to choose from with the most common been an open out casement right down to more bespoke solutions such as pivot and tilt and turn pvcu windows.
