Windows
Add a touch of character and class to your home…
UPVC, White, Cherrywood, Rosewood, Anthracite Grey supplied by Aluplast which has to be seen to fully appreciate the difference. Your new double glazing windows won’t just make your home more attractive and comfortable, they will also add to its value. Low level beads and gaskets, which sit level with the frames, both inside and out, are less obtrusive than the standard option and enhance the overall finish of the windows.
Today’s house building continues to favour nostalgic designs. To compliment this, Aluplast replicates traditional joinery features with sculpted sashes and matching sculptured glazing beads to give that authentic period look. However, if the clean, modern look suits your property, then chamfered sashes (with sash horns if required for authenticity) are also available. All windows (and doors) are available in clean White, rich Mahogany or warm Golden Oak and many more colours to compliment your interior decor. There is also glass to consider.
We use ‘Low Iron ‘A’ rated glass’ complying with the latest building regulations, which cuts heat loss from buildings as part of a Government initiative. Georgian bars for a period finish, stained glass, leaded or bevelled style glazing available. Toughened safety glass meeting British Standard requirements to Class A BS 6206. Laminated glass conforms to BS 6206 Class B. Security for Windows – High impact resistant reinforced UPVC, internally glazed, key locking handles, top and bottom shootbolts and central compression cams, high security hinges (friction stays) screwed to reinforced steel. Equates to British Standard BS PAS011.

How to Maintain Your uPVC Windows
1. Clean Your uPVC Frames and Glass
Wipe down your uPVC window frames and sills every few months with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
Use a glass cleaner or a vinegar-water mix for streak-free glass.
Avoid bleach, scouring pads, or abrasive cleaners — they can damage the surface.
2. Lubricate Hinges, Handles, and Locks
To keep windows opening and closing smoothly, apply a light oil (such as WD-40) to hinges, handles, and locking mechanisms once or twice a year.
Wipe away excess oil to prevent dust buildup.
3. Check Rubber Seals and Gaskets
Inspect the rubber seals around your windows for cracks or wear.
Clean gently with a damp cloth to maintain flexibility and replace any damaged seals to prevent draughts or leaks.
4. Clear Drainage Holes
uPVC windows have drainage slots at the bottom of the frame to allow rainwater to escape.
Keep these holes clear of dirt or debris to stop water from pooling inside the frame.
5. Inspect and Tighten Hardware
Check window handles and locks regularly to make sure they’re secure and working properly.
Tighten loose screws and lubricate any stiff parts — never force them.
6. Avoid Damage
Don’t paint uPVC frames or use harsh chemicals.
Avoid slamming or forcing windows, and if they freeze shut in winter, thaw them gently with warm (not boiling) water.
Keep Your uPVC Windows Looking Like New
A quick clean and inspection every few months will keep your double glazing performing well, improving your home’s energy efficiency, security, and appearance for years to come.
