Replacement Windows

UPVC naturally provides strong insulation thanks to its multi-chambered design, making it great for reducing heating bills. Modern aluminium systems now include advanced thermal breaks, meaning they can achieve similar A-rated performance. Both materials are highly efficient – UPVC remains the most cost-effective, while aluminium combines efficiency with contemporary aesthetics.

All modern UPVC and aluminium windows include multi-point locking, toughened glazing and secure internal beading. Aluminium offers superior rigidity for maximum strength, while flush UPVC windows close tightly into the frame for reduced leverage points. Any system meeting PAS 24 or Secured by Design delivers excellent protection for your home.

Aluminium typically offers the longest lifespan, often 35-45 years, with minimal ageing. High-quality UPVC provides impressive durability of 25-35 years at a more affordable price. Both resist the UK weather extremely well, but aluminium maintains its colour and shape with almost no long-term change – ideal for a “fit it and forget it” solution.

Noise reduction mainly comes from the glazing, but frame design helps too. UPVC’s multi-chambered structure and the tight seals of flush windows deliver excellent acoustic performance. Aluminium frames paired with laminated or acoustic glazing can also significantly cut noise. If soundproofing is a priority, choose high-quality double glazing with laminated glass.

Both are low maintenance. UPVC windows only needs occasional cleaning and remains durable for decades. Aluminium windows are exceptionally robust, with powder-coated finishes that resist fading and corrosion. It’s the best option for homeowners wanting long-lasting colour stability and virtually no upkeep. Either choice is far easier to maintain than timber.

UPVC windows give a familiar, classic look. Flush windows provide a high-end, timber-inspired finish that elevates any home. Aluminium offers the slimmest, most contemporary sightlines – perfect for modern living spaces. For traditional charm choose flush; for modern style choose aluminium; for value-driven versatility choose UPVC.
