Why Choose UPVC Over Wood Windows?
The Ultimate Comparison for Modern Homes
For decades, wood windows symbolized tradition and elegance. But in
today’s world of high energy costs,
relentless maintenance, and extreme weather, UPVC windows have
emerged as the smarter, sustainable
choice for 90% of homeowners. Here’s why architects, builders, and
eco-conscious buyers are making the
switch – and why you should too.
1. The Maintenance War: UPVC’s Knockout Victory
Wood Windows:
Require sanding, repainting, or re-staining every 2–3 years
(costing $200–$500 per window).
Vulnerable to rot, termites, and moisture damage – especially in
humid climates.
Warping or swelling in temperature extremes causes sticking and
drafts.
UPVC Windows:
Zero maintenance: No painting, sealing, or sanding. A simple wipe
with soapy water keeps them pristine.
Impervious to rot, insects, and moisture.
Retain shape and function in -30°C winters or 50°C summers.
Reality Check: UPVC saves 50+ hours and $3,000–$5,000 in
maintenance costs over 20 years vs. wood.
2. Cost Efficiency: Long-Term Savings Win
Wood Windows:
Higher upfront cost (typically 20–40% more than UPVC).
Recurring expenses for repairs, replacements, and energy leaks
.
UPVC Windows:
Lower initial investment with superior ROI through energy savings.
Multi-chambered profiles and airtight seals cut heating/cooling
bills by 30–40%.
Average lifespan of 40+ years vs. wood’s 15–25 years (even with
meticulous care).
3. Eco-Impact: UPVC is Greener Than You Think
Myth: “Wood is natural, so it’s more sustainable.”
Truth:
Deforestation: 40% of harvested timber becomes building materials –
driving habitat loss.
Carbon Footprint: Treating, sealing, and transporting wood consumes
heavy energy.
Landfill Waste: Rotting wood windows are non-recyclable.
UPVC’s Sustainability:
100% Recyclable: Old UPVC frames are reprocessed into new products
(closed-loop recycling).
Energy Reduction: Superior insulation slashes home carbon
emissions.
Longevity: Fewer replacements = less resource consumption.
UPVC windows have 60% lower lifetime CO2 emissions than wood (BRE
Green Guide).
4. Energy Efficiency: UPVC Dominates
Wood expands/contracts with humidity, creating gaps that leak air.
UPVC’s engineered stability
delivers unmatched thermal performance:
U-Values as low as 0.8 W/m²K (vs. wood’s 1.4–2.0) with triple
glazing.
Thermal breaks prevent cold bridging.
Airtight seals block drafts year-round.
UPVC reduces energy bills by $150–$500/year in temperate climates.
5. Durability in Extreme Conditions
Coastal Homes: UPVC resists salt corrosion; wood blisters and
peels.
Wildfire Zones: UPVC has a B1 fire-resistance rating
(self-extinguishing).
Urban Noise: UPVC + laminated glass cuts outside noise by 40–50 dB.
6. Aesthetics: Modern UPVC Shatters Old Stereotypes
Forget bulky white frames! Today’s UPVC offers:
Wood-Effect Finishes: Realistic oak, walnut, or grey wood grains.
Slim Sightlines: Minimalist profiles rivaling aluminum.
Color Flexibility: Foiled or sprayed shades (even dual-color for
interior/exterior).
