PVC windows with environmental benefits

You want the best for your residents. You want the best for the planet too. It is important that you know the truth about the windows you choose and the difference they make.

Despite campaigns by the timber industry to discredit PVC's environmental credentials, it is still the best and most popular window and door frame material. Here's why:

• PVC has been independently assessed by the BRE (Building Research Establishment) to offer a low maintenance service life of at least 35 years. Hence, siimply reducing the need for cyclical maintenance reduces the environmental impact of the windows.
• The latest BRE Green Guide to Specification gives PVC - as a material for windows and doors - an overall A rating for domestic use. This is the UK's most authoritative guide to specification as it considers the multitude of factors which determine a material's cumulative impact.
