What to Consider When Replacing Your uPVC Casement Windows

Replacing your home’s existing uPVC casement windows can seem like a big undertaking. You know that you’re not able to enjoy your living space fully and that something needs to be done, but where are you to start with so many factors to consider? Because of this, we at Smile Windows thought it useful to break down the main areas that will need tending to.

New uPVC casement windows or something entirely different?

The first all-important decision you’ll need to make when replacing your uPVC casement windows, is whether you’ll want to swap them for the same style or try a new approach. After all, despite the effective simplicity of classic casement windows, there are plenty of other styles to choose from. Window designs like Tilt & Turn, vertical sliders, and sash horn windows, all boast their own unique benefits that may align slightly better with your personal preferences.

Tilt & turn windows, for example, feature a sash that can be tilted inwards for easy ventilation. This is done without needing to compromise home safety or opening up properties to the elements – ideal for homeowners living in a high-rise apartment. Those looking for an authentic touch, however, might find what their looking for in the classic sliding sash action of vertical sliders. Replacing your uPVC casement windows presents the perfect opportunity in which to achieve almost any desired effect.

What colour finish will best suit your home’s style?

Any good window replacement will need an attractive and eye-catching colour finish to compliment it, especially if you’ve been limited to simple white up until now. Thankfully, we at Smile Windows feature an eclectic mix of shades and tones, making it easier for homeowners to achieve their preferred style that will keep the neighbours talking.

Colours available include simple shades like Black, Cream, and Grey, classic Chartwell Green, all the way up to convincing woodgrain tones like Rosewood and Light Oak. We’re sure to have something perfectly suited to your new replacement windows, regardless of material or design selected.

Will you emphasise security, comfort, or both?

All our windows tend to integrate multi-point locking and come double glazed as standard. Triple glazing can also be added to stamp out pesky draughts and cold spots for good, for example, while this third added layer also provides extra defence.
