uPVC windows in Glasgow
uPVC is what most Glasgow houses end up with, for good reasons: it insulates well, it does not need painting, and it is the most cost effective way to replace a frame that has gone.
Modern uPVC is a long way from the yellowing plastic people remember from the eighties. Foiled finishes give you anthracite grey, black, cream or woodgrain that holds its colour, and the profiles are engineered with multiple chambers so the frame itself insulates rather than just holding the glass.
The right style depends on the house. Casements suit most semis and bungalows, tilt and turn is worth it for upper floors where cleaning the outside matters, and Georgian bars or astragals keep the character on a period property without the maintenance of timber.

- Timber frames rotting or needing painting every couple of years

How long do uPVC windows last?
Modern profiles are generally expected to last decades. The hardware inside, the hinges and gearboxes, will need attention long before the frame does, and those are replaceable parts.
Can I get grey or black instead of white?
Yes, foiled finishes come in a wide range, anthracite grey being the most requested in Glasgow at the moment.
Do you do tilt and turn?
Yes, and it is worth considering upstairs, because it lets you clean the outside from inside the room.
