What are the advantages and disadvantages of uPVC windows over wooden windows?

uPVC windows has the following advantages over the traditional wooden windows:

• They provide a good frame insulation.
• Low cost of maintenance as they do not need polish or paint.
• Many companies manufacture uPVC windows so the cost of the material is reduced.
• These are now easily available in wood grain and coloured finishes, so you can get the same look as the classic wooden windows. In fact, you can get white external and coloured internal looks also.
• uPVC windows do not rot or warp.

The main disadvantage is, it has relatively low structural integrity which can be easily overcome by using steel or aluminium as reinforcement. Safestyle windows are fully reinforced and are very secure.
