Why offer your customers PVC-U sash windows?
Homeowners often decide to replace their existing sash windows because they have become prone to drafts, they are difficult to open and close, and do not meet the required thermal performance standards. Original timber sash windows also require a lot of maintenance to keep them in the best working order. Sanding down and re-painting is both costly and time-consuming, making it another major reason for changing to a PVC-U alternative.
In the past, PVC-U sash windows were rarely used as timber window replacements. This was because the technology wasn’t sufficiently advanced to accurately recreate the timber look appearance. Today, thanks to advancements in modern technology, our PVC-U sliding sash windows are almost impossible to differentiate from their original timber counterparts. They have even been accepted for use in conservation areas across the UK.
