uPVC Windows in Leicester and Leicestershire

The specification we fit as standard

Five and six chamber profiles with galvanised steel reinforcement in the outer frame and every opening sash, welded corners rather than mechanical joints, and internal beading so the glass cannot be removed from outside. Every opener carries a multi point shootbolt lock running into reinforced keeps, with laminated glass available on any ground floor opening. Frames are made to a PAS 24 tested specification where the opening allows it. A-rated as standard with warm edge spacer bars and argon fill. On a full house replacement the felt difference is usually less about the bill and more about the room finally being usable in January.

• Steel reinforced outer frame and sashes on every window, not just the large ones
• A-rated glass, warm edge spacer and multi point locking included at the from price
• 10 year insurance-backed guarantee, transferable if you sell
• The from price of £450 fully fitted is a real small to medium window with A-rated glass, not a stripped back headline. Size, opener count and colour move it more than anything else.
• We fit the same profile specification on a rear bathroom window as on a front bay, because a window that drops on its hinges costs us a return visit either way. Every unit is measured by the person who will fit it, made to that measurement, and installed by our own team. There is no subcontract chain between the survey and the sealant.

Why uPVC windows are specified the way they are

uPVC is what goes into most Leicester homes, and it is worth understanding why before you accept a quote. The plastic is not the expensive part. The steel inside the frame, the number of chambers in the profile, the spacer bar between the panes and the locking hardware are where the money and the lifespan sit, and they are exactly the parts a low quote quietly removes.
