DIFFERENT TYPES OF WINDOW FRAMES FOR YOUR REPLACEMENT WINDOWS


When the time comes to replace your windows you will have a selection of styles and designs to choose from. You will also need to choose from the different types of frames available. Depending on the condition of your window sills, the construction of your home and your own tastes and concerns, there is bound to be a window frame material that best suits your home.


uPVC WINDOWS FRAMES

Amongst the most commonly seen frames out there, uPVC is a highly durable material that is easily formed into window frames of all shapes and sizes. Bending machines make it simple to create arched and even circular window frames and this plastic based material can be recycled afterward, making it an eco friendly choice.
This type of window frame also lasts for a long time, thereby providing a good return on investment. It possesses an extremely low maintenance rate and is easily washed down with water. Almost all window manufacturers offer a line of replacement windows with uPVC frames and the selections run from standard and affordable to specialty and top of the line.


WOODEN WINDOW FRAMES

Timber window frames are still a sought after product, mainly for the visual charm and insulation qualities of the material. Because they are formed from a renewable resource, wooden frames have a lower impact on the environment. They also require regular maintenance including painting and protection against the weather and pests.


ALUMINIUM WINDOW FRAMES

Low maintenance and fairly durable, aluminum frames were a popular choice before uPVC came onto the market. Aluminum is a metal that provides a decent amount of strength even when it is formed very thin.
It will need to be repainted, although not nearly as often as wooden frames, and aluminum is resilient in any weather. This material can also be recycled after use, making it a more environmentally friendly choice.


COMPOSITE WINDOW FRAMES

A newer product on the replacement windows market, composite frames use wood for the core and low maintenance plastic or aluminum for an outer shell. This combination provides the benefits of each material without any alteration to the appearance. You may not even be able to tell the difference between a composite frame and an aluminum or uPVC one unless you had a cross section.

Each type of frame has its advantages and you will need to decide which one suits your home. Be sure to choose a reputable manufacturer and have a professional window frame installer for the replacement windows. Then you can look forward to years of reliable protection and beautiful appearance.
