Unless you live in a listed property, modern materials are the smart choice. At HIC, we offer a wide selection of uPVC windows for Great Yarmouth homes.
Why are uPVC windows the smart choice? While timber windows have long been admired for their classic look and natural finish, uPVC options now provide a compelling alternative, especially for those seeking a balance between practicality, cost and performance.
uPVC windows are incredibly resilient, designed to withstand harsh weather conditions without succumbing to rot, rust or warping. Unlike timber, which requires regular upkeep, uPVC frames need very little maintenance: no sanding, sealing or repainting necessary. This saves both time and money over the long term.
From a cost perspective, uPVC generally comes out on top. It’s typically more affordable to install and delivers great value throughout its lifespan. Energy efficiency is another key benefit: when paired with double or triple glazing, uPVC frames help retain indoor warmth, lowering heating bills and enhancing comfort all year round.
Today’s uPVC windows are also available in a wide variety of styles, including realistic woodgrain finishes, perfect for those who want the appearance of timber without the hassle. What’s more, uPVC is a recyclable material, so it ticks the box for eco-conscious homeowners too.
That said, timber windows still have their place. They’re ideal for properties with heritage features or listed status, where traditional aesthetics are required. Timber also allows for greater customisation, especially for unusual window shapes or period detailing. But this comes at a cost, both in terms of initial outlay and the ongoing maintenance needed to keep wood looking its best.
Ultimately, for homeowners who want attractive, energy-efficient windows without the maintenance demands or higher price tag, uPVC is a smart, modern option.
