Many homes are now being fitted with UPVC windows. Studies have proven that UPVC windows can have a lesser impact on the overall environment and they’re perfect for those who want to save money on electricity. Likewise, they can be an excellent substitute for other materials and have little to no maintenance required.
What They Are
Weatherall Windows offer UPVC window options to homeowners because they can look like wood, but aren’t. They are made from a plastic-like substance, which is designed to use two-thirds less energy than metal. Likewise, they’re recyclable, so when you’re finished or want to replace them, they can be turned into something else.
They also impact the environment positively because no paint is necessary, so you don’t have to worry about disposing of the unused toxic paints or stains.
Benefits
Because no rotting is possible, you won’t have to reseal, repaint, fill in holes or sand the window. Likewise, you won’t require special cleaning products and can use a damp cloth to wipe them down periodically. If stains appear, you can use traditional cleaning products, such as dish soap or homemade cleaners.
Pests cannot penetrate UPVC windows, so you won’t have to worry about termites eating the timber or bugs getting in through the cracks.
Likewise, you’ll have a natural thief deterrent because the glass is stronger than traditional panes and will require would-be thieves to break through two panes of glass.
Energy Efficiency
Because of the way they’re made, UPVC windows are more energy efficient. The air inside can remain regulated, so you’re not always turning the thermostat up and down. Likewise, outside air can’t get inside, which means no drafts or cold pockets.
If you choose to use drapes or curtains, you can see even more energy savings, but they’re not required because the double-glazing offers insulation.
