What is a uPVC window?

It is the world’s third most commonly used synthetic plastic polymer with about 40 million tons produced annually according to data found HERE. uPVC windows and doors from Wetherglaze come in all shapes, sizes, and colors including sash windows and French windows and doors.

Why do I want double glazed glass vs triple glazed glass?

Glazing is a reference to the panes of glass in a window. A single pane window has one, a single sheet of glass between the inside of a building and the outside. The term “double glazed” means there are two panes of glass in that window, and “triple-glazed” means there are three panes of glass.

Those panes of glass create a sandwich in the frame in which they are hung. In between those panes of glass are inert, neutral gasses like argon, krypton, or xenon gas. This layering of gasses and glass panes creates a barrier to various things and for various reasons, chief among them is energy efficiency and soundproofing. Double and triple glazing can be used in both windows and doors.

Are uPVC windows secure?

Windows and doors are only as secure as their construction and the hardware used in their operation and installation. uPVC windows and doors have been constructed in such a way to be as secure as any window on the market, and more secure than most for the window’s entire life. Unlike traditional timber constructed windows that can rot and weaken, uPVC windows remain as sturdy as the day they were installed throughout their entire life.

Thieves are lazy, simple creatures. A poorly maintained window, a window with peeling paint, or a window that looks like it is rotting in its sill look like easy entry points into a building. Replacing those eyesores in the building’s exterior goes a long way to avoiding simply labelling that building as an easy target.
