Is uPVC Actually Worth It?

Choosing the ideal windows for your house may be challenging, especially in New Zealand where there are so many options. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a contemporary, innovative, low-cost, and high-performing solution, uPVC windows and doors can be a fantastic alternative for you. Some of the benefits that these windows may offer for your house are highlighted by Eco Wellington!

Features And Benefits Of uPVC

Due to its high thermal performance, most consumers select uPVC double-glazed windows. They are inherently warmer than single-glass or even aluminium and wood windows in the winter because they keep warm air inside and the cold air outside. They are weather-resistant in all of New Zealand’s climates, including areas that experience rain, wind, and snow.

Price

Despite its toughness, versatility, and energy-saving qualities, uPVC is one of the most affordable building materials on the market. Aluminium that has been thermally broken costs about the same. The costliest option for windows or doors is most likely going to be wood.

Sound Proof

uPVC also has excellent soundproofing qualities and acts as a natural noise insulator. uPVC double-glazed windows might be a great solution if you live next to a highway or are tired of hearing your neighbour’s dog bark. They can provide you with the peace and quiet you’ve been looking for by reducing noise levels by up to 38 decibels. If you have children or want to listen to loud music, these windows will also prevent you from irritating your neighbours.

A High-Performance Finish For Double Glazing

All of our uPVC windows and doors come standard with double glazing. These windows’ thermal and acoustic insulation is increased even further by the use of high-performance glass. Double-glazed windows enhance your family’s comfort while also raising the value of your house.

Contact Eco Wellington if you want the advantages of uPVC joinery with double glazing. From measuring through installation, we will be there to support you as you decide on the best design for your house. If you have any more questions, please get in touch with us, and we’ll help you realise your uPVC dreams.
