uPVC Windows in Loughborough

What a good uPVC window looks like from the inside out

Most of the uPVC window work we do in Loughborough is second generation replacement. The frames going out were fitted somewhere between 1998 and 2010, the glass has lost its argon, the gaskets have gone hard and the handles have started to need a shove. A real mix: Edwardian villas around the Park Road area, 1930s semis in Shelthorpe, and newer estates in Nanpantan with PVCu-from-new windows now hitting their 20-year replacement window. That stock is now all arriving at the same point at once, which is why half the street tends to replace within a couple of years of each other.

How we specify uPVC windows here

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.

• 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.
