How do I know when I need new or replacement windows?

First, look for obvious signs your windows need replacing such as cracked frames, broken panes, water damage, mold, drafts, or if they are difficult to open/close. Secondly, test how airtight your windows are. To do so, hold a lit match to the edge of each window on a windy day, if it blows out and the smoke wisps away, you may want to consider new windows with superior weather stripping. Whether you need new or replacement windows.

​How will uPVC windows and doors affect my home's air quality?

uPVC, also known as Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride, is a low-maintenance building material commonly used as a substitute for painted wood and metals.  It is used in the manufacturing of windows, doors, siding, fascia, gutters and downspouts, and plumbing material, due to the fact that it is durable, versatile, energy-efficient, and cost-effective.  Surprisingly, uPVC can actually make indoor air quality better over the long run. With its smooth, easy-to-clean surface, allergy-causing agents such as dust and pet fur don’t get ground in, and the surface resists build-up from common household pollutants. Many hospitals and health care institutions select uPVC for this exact reason.
