Upgrade Your Lifestyle with uPVC: Here's How
Installing uPVC windows and doors will be more expensive than installing single glazed aluminium units.
We know that, so why would you do it?
Four reasons for using UPVC:
- Double glazed uPVC will reduce your power bills. Some will quote numbers that seem both unrealistic and compelling, and some of them will be true. How much reduction you get will depend on a number of factors including the current insulation capability of your home, what temperature you find comfortable, winter and summer, and how well the units have been installed. However, what is an absolute certainty, is that your power bills will be reduced.
- The acoustic insulation delivered by professionally installed uPVC is a fact. The level of that insulation depends on the engineering of the units you choose to install, and then how well that installation process is done. Of specific importance is the context of your home. If you live on acres somewhere, acoustic insulation is probably not much of an incentive, but if you live on a busy road, or near a rail line, it can be a life-saver.
- The value of your home will be enhanced by having uPVC installed. Assuming you are likely to sell your home some time in the next decade, you will benefit financially. A potential buyer seeing that your home has been maintained and updated with high quality fittings is likely to be favorably impressed. Depending on the location, this benefit can be substantial. Imagine you are located on a busy road. The average property value along that road will be compromised by the noise. However, when a 'looker' comes in and hears no road noise, they will turn into a purchase prospect immediately.
- uPVC looks great, and 'sounds' great. For years, a common item on the tongue of every salesman of luxury cars has been the quality of the engineering. Often this is measured by the 'click' when you close the doors. Listen for the 'Click' when you close a double-glazed window or door. The engineering really does count.
What has become a cliché of marketing is a comment by Benjamin Franklin. 'The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is long forgotten.'

Will your house be too hot this summer?
If the summer currently broiling the northern hemisphere is any indication, we in Australia are in for a scorcher when our summer arrives.
In the face of the heat, and rocketing power prices, it might be useful to contemplate alternatives.
We individuals need to consider the steps we can take to mitigate the uncomfortable impact of sustained heatwaves.
One of the ways we can do that is to 'tighten up' the insulation in our homes. We tend to think about insulation in terms of heating, but it applies equally to cooling. Once a home has been cooled and made comfortable, how do we maintain that level of comfort at a minimum cost,
Obviously, insulation in the ceilings and walls works, but the biggest source of heat coming into a house is via the glass panels, windows, and doors, which heat up and transmit heat inside.
The best way to address this obvious gap in our homes comfort levels is to install double glazed windows and doors that keeps the heat out. The second-best way is to plant big trees to overhang the house, but then you are 30 years too late, and the insurance companies frown on large trees that can drop branches onto your roof.
