Setting your home apart from the crowd with coloured uPVC windows can increase property value, boost your chances on selling in the future and give you a more aesthetically pleasing finish at the same time. uPVC windows are an opportunity to do all this and combining double glazing into the installation will see you become more energy efficient too.
In years gone by uPVC only came in the standard white colour. As the UK’s most popular construction material there was no need to change its look, with excellent durability and weather resistance its primary selling points. Of course, the fact it’s cheaper than both aluminium and hardwood is a major benefit too.
But in the last couple of years homeowners have looked to keep a traditional appeal to their home. Hardwood in particular is the material to do just this and keeps frames looking fantastic, whereas bright white uPVC windows simply don’t have the effect.
A change was needed and this has been successfully accomplished. uPVC is back with a bang and there are dozens of colours to choose from if you don’t want white frames and would rather something that ties in well with your original property’s style.
Coloured uPVC windows include black and grey but the most popular by far is the woodgrain effects, which look similar to natural hardwood units. As the cheapest frame material, this change in appearance has won over even more homeowners around the country.
By integrating your new coloured uPVC windows with double glazing, you’re set to benefit from a range of other advantages too.
The benefits of coloured uPVC windows
With coloured uPVC double glazing windows:
- Reduce your heating bills
Double glazing is manufactured for optimal energy efficiency. Two panes of glass are separated by an efficient gas spacer which prevents heat from passing through the unit. This ensures more heat is retained in the home, ensuring you needn’t turn up the thermostat to keep warm and will reduce heating bills at the same time.
- Set your home apart from the crowd
With coloured uPVC windows you have the opportunity to create an aesthetic appeal that’s different to the rest of the properties on your road. This will instantly improve the kerb appeal of your home and boost initial impressions from friends, family members and potential future buyers.
- Keep your property warmer
- Become environmentally friendly
New windows will eliminate draughts and cold spots that could have been caused from the inefficiencies of your old units. Effectively, you’ll stay warmer throughout the year by replacing your windows. Conversely, during the summer months heat will be kept out of your home meaning you’ll stay cooler.
With double glazing you’ll benefit the environment by reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions created and released into the atmosphere. Carbon is created from your central heating, so the higher the temperature, the more that’s released. With new windows you’ll have a warmer home and there’ll be less of a need to up the thermostat.
