Woodgrain uPVC Windows vs Real Timber
Deciding to opt for a woodgrain uPVC window rather than a true wooden window frame and sash can be a good solution to meet specific functional requirements.
uPVC windows tend to be more affordable than wooden ones, for example. Their surfaces are also lower maintenance and easier to clean. Beyond these advantages, uPVC windows also tend to be more insulating, which can lead to higher energy bill savings and passive house building certificates. This excellent thermal efficiency is thanks to multiple air-trapping chambers in the material’s core, which reduce energy loss via conduction. With a quality wood-replica decor, a uPVC frame and sash can therefore provide these modern advantages while also achieving a cosy, traditional timber look.
If you are after extra sturdiness, natural soundproofing, a truly authentic style and are fine with good standard insulation though, then real wooden windows may a better choice than a replica decor on uPVC.
