UPVC

UPVC or PVCu is the most sought-after material in the UK for frames and casements on new windows and doors. It is extremely tough and is able to withstand the brutal force of British weather. It's also not affected by rot or rust which means there aren't any issues when exposed to salty sea air. It's also nonporous, meaning water can't penetrate it and cause mildew or mould to form.

uPVC can be used with various locking mechanisms to secure your home. It can be cut into various shapes to give more traditional appearance on your windows and doors.

One of the main benefits that uPVC has over other materials is that it doesn't require sanding and repainting as often as wood does. To keep it looking tidy and fresh, clean it using an abrasive pad. This is perfect for houses that don't have a lot of time to spend on maintenance.

uPVC is extremely energy efficient as well. It's a low conductor of heat, and when used in conjunction with double glazed glass, can reduce the loss of heat. This is a huge advantage during colder months and can help cut heating costs in winter. UPVC is available in a wide range of colours and finishes, including the well-known wood grain timber effect.

Aluminium

Aluminium is a highly versatile material that can be made into a variety of useful and attractive products. It is melted into ingots that are then rolled into sheets, foil rods, bars or sheets. These can then be drawn into wire which is stranded into cable or forged into larger geometric shapes. Aluminium is incredibly energy efficient and durable as it does not expand or shrink during extreme weather conditions. It is an environmentally sustainable choice that can be reused again without losing quality. This makes it the ideal material for doors and windows that last for a long time.

Aluminium frames are sleek and elegant and look stunning in both a modern city pad or a traditional home. They are also super easy to maintain since they do not need re-painting, staining or painting as traditional wooden frames.

Wood

The Urban collection of composite doors are ideal for contemporary Luton properties and can be heavily customized to keep or enhance your Bedfordshire property's existing style. They come in ten distinctive doors that blend traditional design with cutting-edge technology and can be combined with an array of accessories, colours and glass styles.

The type of wood used for the construction of doors and windows is as important as their design. Some species of wood, such as oak, are more difficult to work with than others. Some woods have a tendency for swelling or shrinking and this can cause problems with components such as hinges and locks.

Other factors like weathering and moisture may impact the performance of a window or door. Wood products that have been exposed to heavy rainfall can discolor or expand, causing gaps around the frame. UPVC is less prone to this due to its design to expand and expand and contract. However, UPVC is still susceptible to changes in temperature due to changes. This is why it's vital to select a manufacturer who understands these issues and will adjust the openers accordingly. They may be able to suggest other options to maintain the integrity of your door or Window Doctor Luton, such as installing a Low E insulating or thermal break.
