uPVC Recycling for Sustainable Windows and Doors At Philip Whear Windows & Conservatories, we prioritize the environment and sustainability in everything we do. Recycling uPVC and upgrading windows not only enhances the energy efficiency of your home but also delivers additional benefits, such as a refreshed aesthetic and increased property value, boosting resale potential. uPVC Windows: Durability and Efficiency uPVC windows are crafted from a robust, rigid plastic, making them a popular choice in modern construction due to their durability, energy efficiency, and low maintenance. Compared to traditional wooden or aluminium windows, uPVC offers a cost-effective solution to improve your home’s thermal performance, keeping interiors warm in winter and cool in summer. These sustainable windows resist rot and corrosion, ensuring longevity with minimal upkeep. Available in a variety of styles—casement, tilt-and-turn, sliding, and flush sash—uPVC windows can be customized with different colours and finishes to complement your home’s design. uPVC Recycling and Sustainability While plastic often faces criticism, well-maintained uPVC can last over 35 years. We’ve chosen a uPVC window supplier that uses up to 75% recycled plastic in their profiles, making them among the most eco-friendly options available. Our timber products are FSC-certified, and materials like glass and aluminium are infinitely recyclable. At Philip Whear Windows & Conservatories, we take pride in our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The Recycled uPVC Process Our profile supplier employs a unique recycling process, allowing uPVC to be recycled up to ten times, extending the lifespan of a window or door to an impressive 350 years. Old frames are dismantled, and the uPVC is broken into uniform-coloured fragments, compressed into pellets, and reused to create new profiles. Nearly all materials removed during installation—glass, uPVC, aluminium, and even masonry—are recycled or repurposed, minimizing waste. Energy Efficiency at Its Best Our windows and doors feature the highest energy-rated double-glazed units, significantly reducing heat loss and improving your home’s energy performance. With rising energy costs, upgrading to energy-efficient windows can keep your home warmer in winter without relying heavily on heating systems. Many customers have reported noticeable improvements in comfort and reduced energy bills after installation. Additional Benefits of uPVC Windows Beyond energy efficiency, our uPVC windows and doors offer numerous advantages: Low Maintenance: Unlike wooden frames, uPVC doesn’t require painting or staining and won’t rot or corrode. Durability: Reinforced uPVC withstands harsh weather conditions, from intense sunlight to heavy rain and wind. Security: Multi-point locking systems and laminated glass options provide enhanced protection against intruders. Noise Reduction: Double-glazed units help reduce outside noise, creating a quieter, more peaceful home environment.
