PVCu V's TIMBER

By replacing your windows, you can update the look of your house, improve the amount of light and air flow in your home, increase your homes energy efficiency, and provide easier window operation, cleaning and maintenance.

Not just Windows - Rigid PVC-u, made by Deceunick, is used in the manufacture of roofline products. It is particularly appreciated for its resilience in all types of weather conditions, excellent resistance to chemical and atmospheric agents, and low maintenance requirements.

So what to go for? PVC-u or timber frames?

Maintenance free PVC-u is the most popular choice.
PVC-u is the most popular type of replacment window, and is excellent alternative to wood. Like wood windows, PVC-u windows offer good insulation value and strength, and they don't require any maintenance, like no painting or staining, and unlike timber, PVC-u exhibits excellent fire behavior and it does not burn once the source of heat or flame has been removed.

The only maintenance your PVC-u windows will need is simple cleaning, because you'll never need to paint them.

PVC-u windows and doors are durable and long lasting, weather resistance, impervious to termites, insects or rats, sun protective, reliable for rain protection, rotten proof, will not support combustion, low maintenance, easy to clean, safe from burglars due to its strength and can be recycled.
With PVC-u windows you have the greatest variety to choose from. There are many shapes, styles and colours, and they are available in a wide range of prices to suit virtually and budget.
You will be able to find PVC-u windows in all the standard sized, which make installation easier and less costly, and PVC-u windows can be easily customised for unique needs and preference.
When purchasing windows, consider factors other than the up-front purchase price. windows with higher energy efficiency ratings will save you money on your heating and cooling costs for painting, both now and in the future. Cheaper windows may need to be replaced sooner than more durable windows.

All new and replacement windows now have to be double glazed to cut heat loss. Consequently, wooden window frames have given way to PVC framed double glazing, which is cheaper to buy and install than double glazing timber frames.

Some people who have had white PVC-u windows in the past say that, after a few years, the frames can appear discoloured due to the weathering of the black gaskets. Deceuninck make their profiles with a revolutionary neutral grey eye line gasket that not only lasts longer, but will keep your windows whiter and brighter.
