You should always make sure you regularly check your windows and do not wait until they need fixing to replace them. A good starting point is to check that your windows are not letting in draughts. If you do feel a draught and if the outer frame is showing signs of rotting or the windows no longer open and close with ease, it's time to consider an upgrade, which will also save money on energy bills.

If you have an older property, you might choose a sash window to better complement the style of the building. Even if you are restricted by planning or building restrictions, conservation area approved UPVC sash windows are now available, so you are no longer limited only to expensive timber replacements which need to be treated over time.

With all the heat remaining inside your home, you could see a dramatic reduction in your energy bills. You could save up to £115 each year. It might not sound like a lot, but with the average life span of modern quality windows expected to be 20 years plus, that is a long-term investment. And, every penny counts!

UPVC windows and doors can be fully recycled either at the time when one goes for a renovation or at the end of the lifecycle period of the profile. At the end of their life, they can be successfully converted into other useful products. Even the waste material generated during manufacturing can be reprocessed, thereby helping in creating a reliable and sustainable future.
