What are the different types of uPVC windows?

One of the most popular materials for windows, uPVC has continued to improve over the course of the last few decades. While it remains a budget-friendly option, it has rid itself of its previously ‘cheap’ label. UPVC windows present not only a wide range of benefits, but also a wide range of styles.

uPVC casement windows

Casement windows are a very popular option when it comes to choosing an effective uPVC window style. The design of casement windows sees them open outwards, progressively offering more access to the outside. The airflow that they provide is thanks largely to the fact that they are able to open fully. This makes them ideal for rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms that tend to be prone to condensation. The tightly sealed design lends itself to an improvement in thermal efficiency. The seal’s strength means that the sash can press securely against the frame, meaning air is a lot less likely to get through.

uPVC tilt and turn windows

Another style that counts increased ventilation as a benefit is the tilt and turn window. They are also notable for their enhanced security and general practicality. The hinge mechanism featured in the design means that the windows are able to open in two ways. You can angle the window from the top of the window is tilted or you can open it fully inwards. The latter provides the opportunity to double as a fire escape while being able to tilt the windows slightly means that they offer a degree of extra childproof security.

uPVC vertical sliding windows

Often associated with period properties, vertical sliding windows provide an alternative function to other window styles. Their opening function is designed through a centralised window sash that slides up, instead of out or in. Our Rose Collection provides three exquisitely elegant choices that can easily be implemented with heritage properties and even present a viable option for homes in conservation areas.

uPVC flush sash windows

Similar to casement windows, a flush sash window fits neatly into the frame which in turn helps to provide a fully flat exterior when the window is closed. Also known as flush casement windows, the flush sash are able to offer a continuous finish, while casement windows give more of an overlap of the frame. Flush sash windows can suit any type of property with their sleek and modern lines.

uPVC timber effect windows

Given that wooden windows are such an aesthetically pleasing option, it is not a surprise that they can be an attractive choice for many homeowners. However, they can be difficult to maintain and keep looking good. With uPVC timber effect windows, you can enjoy the timber aesthetics while also enjoying the numerous benefits of the uPVC material. The Residence Collection provides timber effect flush sash windows that not only capture the essence of the traditional wood look but provide excellent thermal performance and outstanding security features.
