When choosing new energy efficient slimline windows in Surrey, you may have thought aluminium was the only option for achieving a slim frame design.
We provide an extensive range of high-quality aluminium windows, emphasising the quality, security features and customisation options they offer.
However, advances in uPVC window technology now mean you can have beautifully sleek, thin frames in uPVC, letting in even more light.
In fact, a uPVC slimline window will offer a number of benefits over aluminium. Read on to discover why slimline uPVC windows might just be the superior choice for your home in Guildford.
Cost-Effective and Budget-Friendly Slimline Windows
The first significant benefit of slimline uPVC windows is that they are more affordable than aluminium window frames. uPVC is a relatively inexpensive material, keeping production costs down and allowing window manufacturers to offer competitive prices to homeowners.
In contrast, aluminium slimline windows tend to cost far more due to higher material and manufacturing costs for aluminium.
For homeowners on a budget or looking to save money on a window replacement project, slimline uPVC windows are the ideal solution. You can achieve an ultra-modern, minimalist design without the premium price tag associated with aluminium.
Maximum Glass and Natural Light
Our Slimline uPVC windows feature a sash frame of just 63mm and an outer frame just 50mm wide, providing an additional 12% of glass compared to standard windows.
A narrow frame that allows up to 12% more glass than Standard uPCV windows. This means that more natural light can flood into your rooms, creating a bright, open space. The additional glass also gives you better views out of your windows, allowing you to appreciate your garden and surrounding area.
The streamlined, minimal frames of slimline uPVC windows are designed specifically not to obstruct your view and to let in as much light as possible compared to both standard uPVC and slimline aluminium windows.
Similarly, slimline aluminium windows offer slimmer frames that allow more natural light into the home, enhancing the brightness and openness of your spaces. For homeowners who value natural light and openness spaces, slimline windows with uPVC is a fantastic choice.
Bespoke Designs and Styling
While uPVC windows are renowned for their energy efficiency and high performance, they have traditionally lacked style. Slimline uPVC windows change this perception with their attractive, modern designs. uPVC windows can now achieve top thermal efficiency with a more sleek design, contemporary style to complement any home.
Slimline uPVC windows are also fully customisable to match your property’s exterior. You can choose from a variety of colours, woodgrain effects, handles, glass and double glazing options to create your ideal style for your new windows. Grey, black, and Chartwell green are particularly popular colour choices for a modern home, while woodgrain colour effects suit more traditional properties.
With endless possibilities for customisation, you can design slimline uPVC windows to perfectly match your home’s architecture and your personal taste. Aluminium windows typically offer less flexibility for customisation, especially at an affordable price point.
Unrivalled Energy Efficiency in Slimline Windows
Our slimline uPVC windows carry the distinction of an A+ Window Energy Rating (WER). This impressive rating guarantees a warm, dry interior throughout the year, playing a significant role in reducing your household bills.
Furthermore, our range has received an A+ energy rating from the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC) (www.bfrc.org), equivalent to most triple-glazed windows. This stellar energy rating performance contributes to energy efficiency and cost savings in your household.
The multi-chambered profile of uPVC windows, thermal performance of advanced glass units and weather-tight seals all work together to retain more heat inside your home. This allows you to lower your energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint and create a comfortable environment. Similarly, aluminium windows are known for their impressive thermal efficiency, contributing to a warm and energy-efficient home.
Enhanced Security
Despite their narrow, sleek frames, slimline uPVC windows do not compromise on security. They feature multi-point locking systems installed, reinforced profiles and frames as well as tough laminated glazing to deter intruders.
Shootbolt locks, hinge protectors and other reinforcements are incorporated into thin window frames the slimline windows design to give you peace of mind about home security.
While the minimal frames may appear less robust, they are specially engineered to be strong and secure. uPVC as a material is also resistant to damage and forced entry.
Weather Resistance
Slimline windows are designed with weatherproofing in mind. The uPVC profiles and sashes are fused together with high-performance seals and gaskets to prevent air, water and moisture ingress. Multi-chambered frames also help to insulate from extreme weather conditions.
These tight seals, durability and insulating properties allow slimline uPVC windows to stand up well to wind, rain and other elements. They will keep your windows and doors and home comfortable even in poor weather. uPVC is naturally resistant to corrosion, rot and rust.
For weatherproof protection slimline uPVC windows are a reliable choice. They require minimal upkeep to continue functioning optimally for decades.
