Why should you replace your uPVC Windows

If you consider a brand new window for your home, then uPVC windows are a very popular choice. They are very easy to install and come with advanced double glazing, which lets in plenty of natural light in the process. They are also very popular because of their extreme durability to survive tough weather conditions. But you might also be looking at how long they will last in your home. Read on to find out more.

It is a very common question that you may have on your mind because not only do you want something that you’ll reap the benefits from, but you want very good value for money too. A uPVC window can last for anything between 20-35 years; however, first, it is important to consider the signs of ageing uPVC windows. 

An ageing sign of your uPVC window includes a yellow appearance, which comes from raw and poor quality materials. To make your windows more pleasing to the eye, most modern builds use a high-quality vinyl virgin resin which will keep up the clean, pristine appearance of your windows. That way, it is very easy to see the benefits of a brand new window. 

The lifespan of your windows will vary greatly based on how well they have been installed and the quality of your materials. Luckily, at Fitter Windows, you can benefit from high quality and professional installation, which, coupled with friendly service, will work wonders for you in the long run.  

Another factor of an old window is that the double glazing is performing badly. It does this when the glass is being replaced by mist because the gas in the panes is leaking. This means that you are losing natural heat in the long run, and it is harder to keep your home warm. When new windows are installed, they come with double and triple glazing, which has many benefits.

 Your windows will now be more thermally efficient, saving you money on your heating bills and reducing your carbon footprint. This makes it more environmentally friendly in the long run, and it will also cut your rising energy bills. 

Additionally, if your window was built before 1980, they won’t keep your house as warm. Therefore, consider how old the property that you’re living in is. Investing in a brand new uPVC window will save you plenty of money in the long run, creating a robust thermal barrier that traps heat in. A new window will keep you and your family warm and comfortable in the process. Not only that but uPVC windows are known for being very durable because they last a long time in tough weather conditions. If your windows start to crack or fade after a very heavy rainstorm, then getting a new one installed will ease your worries. 

A long-lasting window will also help your family stay secure because you’ll benefit from multi-point locking systems that will ward off intruders in the long run. While an older window in a house around 12 years old could have its security features breached and exposed, a new one will ensure that intruders won’t be able to enter your property easily. It can even protect your home from even the hardest of criminals. You can consider something that doesn’t wear out over time. 

When you invest in a new window that will keep your property lasting for much longer, it is important to consider how it is installed. It will remain airtight and watertight for much longer because the windows come with better double glazing quality. This way, you don’t have to save money on repairs, letting you spend it on the most important things to you.
