1.    Insulation

A quality uPVC window is built with a multi-point locking system that is incorporated into the frame of the window. This makes it much more secure than  timber sash window.  Added to this double glazing is always a good deterrent of burglars because they need to make a lot more noise in order to break double-glazing or triple-glazing.

4.    Choice of color.

There is a huge range of colors to choose from when it comes to selecting one for your uPVC sash windows. You must also remember that the color you choose will not have to be repainted for the life of the windows.
