uPVC Windows – A popular choice
The overall appearance of your home is greatly enhanced by the quality of your windows. The term ‘uPVC Windows’ is something that is often thrown around by home improvement companies as these windows offer a stylish, practical and cost-efficient solution for many homeowners.
However, although uPVC windows are a popular choice for homeowners, many people don’t understand the full range of benefits uPVC offer. That’s why, here at Hizzard Windows, we have compiled a list of everything you need to know about uPVC windows and how exactly they will benefit your home.
To fully appreciate uPVC windows in all their glory, it is important we know where they came from and how they have changed the faces of our homes for the better. UPVC windows became hugely popular in the 1980s, during which time they were an affordable alternative to timber and metal – also lasting significantly longer than their traditional alternatives. However, as the attraction of low prices drew customers in, the quality started to decline and “cowboy builders” were on the rise, fitting uPVC windows poorly, causing discolouration and damage. As a result, many uPVC windows had very short lifespans.
Today, however, many of these issues are no longer a problem. Modern building regulations ensure that uPVC windows are fitted correctly and to a high standard, ensuring beautiful windows that are durable. Thanks to the developments that have been made in technology and the high standards of building regulations, the life span of uPVC windows are now around 25 years. So, you can enjoy the benefits of your windows for longer than ever before.
uPVC Windows benefits
Installing new uPVC windows to your property will not only improve its overall appearance but will also be extremely practical. Not only are uPVC windows durable, versatile, and strong, but due to technological advances, both the colourfastness and expansion/contraction have been stabilised. This means that your uPVC windows are not only installed in brilliant white, but with the minimum amount of maintenance, they stay white for longer.
UPVC stands for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride and it has been one of the market leaders in windows and doors for many years. Here at Hizzard Windows, we sell aesthetically pleasing and durable uPVC windows to our customers in a variety of styles. So, if you’re looking for uPVC windows, you’ve come to the right place.
If you want beautiful windows in Sheffield for your home but you’re worried about having to sacrifice aesthetics simply to purchase windows at an affordable price, there’s no need to worry anymore. Here at Hizzard Windows, affordability is a given when you purchase uPVC windows from us. After all, uPVC is undoubtedly one of the most cost-effective materials and it can save you a lot of unnecessary expenditure, without sacrificing durability, aesthetics or security. What’s more, uPVC windows are usually more than half the price of alternative window materials – and, therefore, are suitable for the majority of budgets.
One of the main concerns for homeowners, when purchasing windows, is the thought of maintenance and how much is required. Homes today thrive on minimal maintenance, and this is a major benefit of installing uPVC windows. Unlike timber windows, which warp and peel over time, uPVC windows are hard-wearing, weather-proof, and durable, meaning minimal effort on your part. All you need to do is wipe over your uPVC windows with a cloth to keep them clean.

Our uPVC windows can be supplied in a range of styles, to suit a variety of properties. We offer a variety of uPVC windows, depending on the type of property and the requirements of the customer. Below are the uPVC windows and styles we offer:
uPVC Windows types and models
These windows are manufactured in a variety of designs and styles and the frames can be slim or created for a heavier frame. Casement windows are attached to the frame by hinges, placed at the side of the frame. These can be purchased from us on a supply only basis, or if you prefer we can supply and install.
Sliding sash uPVC Windows
Victorian or Georgian properties can often be seen with sliding sash windows. These windows are opened by sliding the frame up and down. The UPVC sliding sash windows can replicate the traditional style but also create a more energy-efficient home that is easier to maintain. We supply and install this range of windows.
Tilt and Turn uPVC Windows
The main advantage of tilt and turn windows is that they can be tilted and cleaned from inside the property. This saves time and potential problems when it comes to cleaning the outside of the windows. These uPVC windows we provide in Sheffield and surroundings are supplied and installed.

As you would expect from a specialist glazing company, our uPVC double glazed windows are available in a choice of stylish frames, with different finishes.
