The benefits of Everest uPVC Windows

Virtually maintenance free

Our uPVC windows are built to last and extremely easy to maintain. uPVC is a durable material which will never rot, rust, peel or flake and is also lead free and fully recyclable. They also come fitted with easy clean hinges so they only need an occasional wipe down using warm, soapy water to stay looking great all year round.

How to clean uPVC window frames

Warmer and quieter

Our uPVC windows are A+ rated as standard and made-to-measure for a perfect fit. The frame and sash have multi-chamber profiles to prevent heat escaping and low-e internal glass to reflect heat back in. The gap between the panes is filled with Argon gas to ensure cold air stays out and the separating spacers are coated in a low conduction material to hold in more heat. Then there’s the double weather-resistant Q-Lon seals to keep out rain and draughts. It’s all this that keeps your home warmer, quieter and helps save you money on energy bills.
