WHAT IS WRONG WITH UPVC WINDOWS?
We agree that in modern homes plastic windows are an acceptable choice, what we disagree with is the use of these new materials in older property. Most often the replacements look out of character and detract from the overall charm of the building, in many cases upvc windows actually depreciate the market value of the property . Many of the benefits that plastic windows offer such as double glazing and weather seals can be integrated into your existing wooden windows. It is now becoming apparent that many plastic windows have a working life of approx. 20 years or less whilst wooden windows last much longer. Due to this short life span plastic windows are becoming an increasing problem with regards to recycling!
