What are PVCu windows?

Picture of modern home.
Modern PVCu windows are slimmer, better, more secure than ever before.

A modern PVCu window is made from unplasticised PolyVinyl Chloride as its core material. PVCu is a quality extrusion that comes out in its finished colour straight from the press. Unlike aluminium windows that need to be painted after they are extruded, PVCu windows do not.

You may know or refer to PVCu windows as uPVC. The product and the material have not changed, but the name did to fall in line with European standard specifications and descriptions for the core material. So what are the advantages that PVCu windows still have?

The best energy ratings are possible with PVCu windows.

As a material, PVCu is one of the best insulators. Our windows offer you A ratings and low U Values as standard where other materials may need costly glass upgrades.

PVCu windows now have frames with many chambers within helping reduce heat loss and making the window warmer and more comfortable than before.

Our PVCu windows contribute to reducing your heating and energy bills with excellent performance and home comfort. You can expect from us an A rated, A Plus Rated and even an A++ subject to specification.

When it comes to the conduction of heat, nothing beats the PVCu material that helps trap the air, create a highly efficient thermal barrier and work to keep your home warm in winter. Best of all modern PVCu windows with these multi chambers are stronger than ever meaning aluminium or steel reinforcement is usually not required, depending upon the product.

If you are concerned about U-Values, triple glaze one of our PVCu windows and U-Values below 1.0Wm2K are possible. This is an exceptional figure in a window. Don’t just take our word for it, the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) agrees that PVCu is many times more likely to result in a super low energy window than other materials.
