Will uPVC Windows Help Me Save Money?

Like many other Australians, we are always looking for ways to increase our savings! This past year has been challenging for many of us. World events and rising energy prices have increased stress.  If you are after a long term money-saving strategy, then upgrading to uPVC windows is the solution for you! uPVC windows are an energy-efficient solution to help you save money in the long run. What is uPVC, we hear you asking. We are here to help give you the information you need on uPVC windows, how they work and how they can help save you money!

What is uPVC?

uPVC is a resilient, weatherproof product made from salt. uPVC has recently grown in popularity amongst builders. It is the ideal window and door framing product as it is water-tight, durable and easy to maintain. uPVC is the perfect, low maintenance, energy efficient solution for your home.

What are uPVC Double Glazed Windows?

uPVC makes the perfect framing product to complete a double glazed window unit or IGU. PVC double glazed windows refer to a window unit framed with uPVC. They have two panes of glass, with air or gas between them. Double glazed windows have many benefits: energy efficiency, noise reduction and temperature control. When made using uPVC framing, the benefits are only enhanced. uPVC offers water and airtight seals to help you save on your energy bills. It decreases the risk of air entering or escaping your home.

Over time, as a result of harsh weather conditions, or lack of maintenance, most frames will warp. Unlike other frames, such as wooden or aluminium frames, uPVC will never deteriorate. Regular double glazing isn’t as effective as uPVC. This is due to the cracks or gaps between the frame and your home. With uPVC double glazed windows, these cracks won’t appear. The security of your home is also increased as a result. The frames won’t be susceptible to damage and double glazed windows are harder to break!

How Does uPVC Save You Money?

To answer your main question YES uPVC windows will save you money! For most Australians, windows are a major source of heat loss in winter and heat retention in summer. Installing double glazed uPVC windows reduces the insulating properties of your windows. You decrease the amount of energy needed to keep your home comfortable. Less energy means smaller energy bills, and ends with more money in your pocket! Experience year-round benefits, as Australia faces extreme conditions daily. Imagine needing heating and cooling for half the amount of time, and on lower settings. You’re saving money for years to come while having a positive impact on the environment. Reducing your energy use and wastage is another benefit.

Sustainability is a worthwhile investment in your future and the planet’s future. uPVC windows is a long-term, low maintenance solution for you and the environment.

Benefits of uPVC

The main benefit of uPVC windows and doors is the money-saving aspect. Yet there are many other benefits that uPVC provides. For you, your wallet and the environment! These include, but are not limited to:

  • Energy efficiency
  • Weatherproof, providing a watertight seal
  • Long-lasting and durable
  • Recyclable
  • Sustainable
  • Addition insulation
