VERSATILE YET BUDGET-FRIENDLY
uPVC windows are generally far more affordable than wooden ones when it comes to costs of material. They are often the first choice for customers who need to keep on eye on their budget or people looking for an inexpensive alternative on a renovation project. You can make up for the reduced stiffness of the material with specially designed profiles or reinforcement. This means there are virtually no limits here, even with unusual shapes (corners or curves). Something that might interest lovers of individualised design: uPVC windows offer greater variety here thanks to the option of fitting aluminium shells outside or inside the home or using decorative films, including some in imitation wood!
