Windows
This is the product that you will have more of on your property than any other. With that in mind windows are a great point to set the tone for your property and maximise the light coming in.
At GX Home Improvements we offer a wide variety of window formats. Whether you are looking to achieve a traditional finish with UPVC, a heritage effect with Timber, or a contemporary feel with Aluminium, we will be able to help you find the right solution.
UPVC
UPVC windows are ideal if you are looking to have a traditional finish and also come with the added benefit of being the most cost effective option on the market. UPVC windows account for almost 90% of the replacement window market in the U.K.
These windows can come in a variety of colours and effects. Each window has a standard range of colours, although if those do not catch your eye the industry RAL chart provides over 150 colour shades. Meanwhile flat and woodgrain effects help to personalise your product.
Broadly speaking UPVC windows are broken down into two categories;
Casement - The standard UPVC option where the opening sash sits away from the outer frame
Flush Sash - A more contemporary option where the opening sash is in line with the outer frame
Aluminium
Seen as the most contemporary choice between all three window formats, Aluminium windows offer unparalleled sightlines which help to increase the glazing size and light entering your property. They are the most modern window option and make for a real statement on a property.
Another advantage to aluminium is the lifespan of the product. The material itself degrades at a slower rate than UPVC and Timber and will remain optimum for longer than the other two formats. As a result certain suppliers, like Origin Global, offer a 20 year guarantee period.
Unlike UPVC and Aluminium there is not a casement option, as suppliers prefer to manufacture a flush sash to highlight the contemporary feel that the material offers;
Flush Sash - A more contemporary option where the opening sash is in line with the outer frame
Timber
Timber windows provide a heritage effect that cannot be replicated with the same authenticity in other window formats. This option precedes both UPVC and Aluminium in terms of longevity and is ideal for those seeking to attain a classic look.
It is important to note that unlike UPVC and Aluminium, Timber windows require regular maintenance owing to the fact that they are a natural material. This maintenance must be adhered to in order to ensure the integrity of the product.
Like UPVC windows, Timber windows are broadly speaking broken down into two categories;
Casement - The standard Timber option where the opening sash sits away from the outer frame
Flush Sash - A more contemporary option where the opening sash is in line with the outer frame
