uPVC windows and doors are available in a wide range of styles and finishes. Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) frames can provide thermal insulation and draught reduction when combined with suitable glazing and installation. They also require relatively little maintenance compared with timber frames, as they do not need regular repainting.
Modern uPVC frames are resistant to rot and are generally less affected by moisture than timber. Their thermal performance can also help keep the internal glass surface warmer, although condensation can still occur depending on ventilation, indoor humidity and the glazing specification.
uPVC is often one of the lower-cost frame materials when compared with aluminium or timber, although prices vary considerably by design and specification. Security will depend on the complete window or door system, including the frame, glazing, locks and installation, rather than the frame material alone.
The price of double-glazed uPVC windows and doors will depend on the size, style, colour, glazing specification and other features chosen. As a rough guide, a uPVC window may cost around £300 fitted, while a uPVC door may cost around £600.
Replacing windows and doors across an average house may cost around £5,000-£8,000, although the final price will depend on the number and size of openings and the products selected.

When choosing a company to manufacture or install uPVC windows and doors, ask to see examples of previous work and check customer feedback where available. You can also ask friends or family whether they have used a local company for similar work.
It may also be worth checking whether the company belongs to a relevant trade organisation, such as the Glass and Glazing Federation. Check what membership, consumer protection or dispute-resolution arrangements apply before relying on trade membership alone.
Always get written quotations from at least three companies and compare what is included in each price, including the frames, glazing, installation, removal of old windows or doors and any guarantees or aftercare offered.
Be cautious about agreeing to work under pressure, particularly where a company cold calls or offers a time-limited discount that requires an immediate decision.
