At Forever Green Windows, we understand that choosing new windows is a significant investment in your home. To help you make an informed decision, we’ve compiled answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about uPVC windows.
What Are uPVC Windows?
uPVC stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. It’s a durable, rigid, and low-maintenance material widely used in modern window frames. Unlike traditional wood or aluminium, uPVC offers superior energy efficiency, weather resistance, and affordability.
How Long Do uPVC Windows Last?
High-quality uPVC windows, like those crafted at our Gregory Hills facility, can last 20-30 years or more with proper care. Longevity depends on factors such as installation quality, exposure to harsh weather, and regular maintenance.
Are uPVC Windows Energy Efficient?
Yes, uPVC windows are designed to improve energy efficiency. They reduce heat transfer, keeping your home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. When paired with double or triple glazing, they significantly lower energy bills.
What Maintenance Do uPVC Windows Need?
Minimal maintenance is one of the key benefits of uPVC windows. To keep them looking their best:
- Wipe frames with soapy water occasionally.
- Ensure seals and hinges remain clean and free from debris.
- Check for any minor damages and address them promptly.
Can uPVC Windows Reduce Noise?

Yes! At Forever Green Windows, we manufacture custom uPVC windows at our state-of-the-art Gregory Hills warehouse. From tilt-and-turn styles to sliding windows, every product is made to order, ensuring a perfect fit and style for your home.
Are uPVC Windows Environmentally Friendly?

How Secure Are uPVC Windows?
uPVC windows are highly secure when paired with modern locking mechanisms. They offer robust resistance to forced entry, making them an excellent choice for home security.
