What Type Of Windows Should You Get As Replacement Windows

Replacement windows are significant items in the renovation and refurbishment of any home

. Windows are necessary for providing adequate ventilation and light in a home. They also add to the overall aesthetics of the building design. Therefore, when it comes to getting replacement windows, you need to get a premium window design, which will not only be durable, but also visually appealing.

The market offers many different types of windows to people, including metal, wood and UPVC windows. These three are the most popular types of windows at the moment. So, we will briefly compare these three types of windows, to see which one is the most premium window.

When it comes to aesthetics, all three types look attractive, if styled in the right way. All three types are available in different designs, like French windows, casement windows, sliding windows and sash windows. So you can create the visual effect you want, with wooden, metal and UPVC windows, whichever you prefer. However, wooden and metal windows dont often last long. Both are susceptible to rains and high humidity levels; the former rots and warps and the latter is likely to corrode. So their beauty does not last very long. And to even make them last as long as they do, you have to keep re-painting and re-polishing them. UPVC windows are easier to maintain, and so your home will continue to look attractive for a very long time.

The second point of comparison is durability. As already indicated above, wooden and metal windows do not last as long as UPVC windows. Even the most premium window made of wood or metal decays over time. While UPVC windows are by no means indestructible, they stand regular wear and tear much better. They are moisture resistant and also UV resistant. They can resist monsoons and hot summers more effectively. If you get UPVC replacement windows, you can rest assured that you wont need to get new windows for a very long time.

In terms of functionality, UPVC windows score significantly higher again. Wooden windows and metal windows are slightly weak structurally, so they need more members when you make window frames from them. This allows less light and air to enter your home and you might have to use electric lights even in the daytime. Most UPVC windows are steel reinforced, so they can be made in large sizes, allowing more natural light to enter your home. They also provide good ventilation as a result.

If you are thinking of getting replacement windows because of poor noise insulation, then UPVC windows are again the best option. Wooden and metal windows are poorly sealed and have mechanical joints, so they provide low levels of sound insulation, unlike UPVC windows, which are double sealed and lock at multiple points. On top of that, we have the fact that both wooden and metal windows themselves produce rattling sounds in windy conditions. Well engineered UPVC windows on the other hand, dont rattle or shake in the wind as they are steel reinforced and have multi-chambered structures.
