The finished articles

PVC-U has come a long way in the last few years now providing versatile and stylish options for every type of property; from traditional to contemporary there is something for everyone.

As you can see from these examples the styles you can achieve by carefully designing your windows really can totally change the appearance of any property. To get the right look it is essential to consider the features of your property and choose a design that will complement them.

Think about the authenticity a woodgrain finish could achieve. Consider the possibility of shaped edges rather than standard square shapes or vertical sliders instead of standard opening configurations. Visualise how leaded glass could reflect the Tudor period, how Astragal bar could create a traditional feel, or how bevelled and decorative glass could just add that extra interesting touch.

As well as the aesthetic features of your window also consider the practical elements. How much ventilation do you need? French casements and tilt & turns will provide maximum ventilation but may not be appropriate if you have small children; top opening windows may be more suitable in this situation.
