The choice is yours

Both uPVC and aluminium windows offer distinct advantages. If you prioritise affordability and value, uPVC might be a great choice. However, if you desire a modern look, maximum strength, security, and potentially greater energy savings, then aluminium windows could be the ideal investment for your home.

Maintaining your aluminium windows is a breeze! Here's what you need to know:

• Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive materials.
• For a gentle clean:
• Rinse the windows to remove loose dirt and debris.
• Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild detergent solution to clean the frames.
• Rinse thoroughly to eliminate any soap residue.
• Dry the frames with a soft cloth for a sparkling finish.

While it's possible, we highly recommend leaving this task to a professional.  They possess the expertise for proper spray finishing and selecting the right paint for optimal adhesion.

Condensation arises when warm, moist air meets a cold surface. Here's how to tackle it:

• Reduce humidity: Utilise extractor fans, dehumidifiers, or proper ventilation in moisture-prone areas like bathrooms and kitchens.
• Modern design advantage: Condensation is rarely an issue with modern aluminium windows that incorporate thermal breaks.
• Seek expert advice: If you suspect a faulty window, improper installation, or persistent condensation, consult your installer or our team at Yorkshire Windows.
• Condensation within double glazing: This indicates a broken seal, necessitating a replacement of the glazed unit.

For the same size and specifications, aluminium windows tend to be more expensive than uPVC windows. However, aluminium windows boast a longer lifespan and are recyclable, making them a sustainable investment.

Absolutely! Modern aluminium windows, equipped with thermal breaks and advanced insulating materials, deliver exceptional energy efficiency. They can effortlessly comply with the latest building regulations and achieve outstanding U-values and WER ratings.

By law, windows must meet specific security standards, typically PAS 24:2016 certification. This ensures they can withstand attempted break-ins. Our Yorkshire Windows aluminium windows are designed with multi-point locking mechanisms and high-quality hardware to meet these rigorous standards. For an extra layer of security, consider laminated security glass.
