PVC windows: good insulation, little maintenance

PVC is a good fit if:

• insulation against heat, cold and noise is your priority;
• you want windows that only need washing;
• you are looking for good value for money;
• the openings are of normal size rather than very wide glass walls.

1. Sun and UV

   Good PVC profiles are made to withstand UV. Under the strong Spanish sun, white and light colours stay coolest and most stable. Darker foil finishes are possible; we discuss with you where they make sense.

2. Salt air and humidity

   PVC does not rust or corrode, so salt in the air is no problem for the frame itself. The hardware benefits from an occasional clean.

3. Insulation and noise

   Multi-chamber profiles insulate well. With good glass and seals, PVC windows keep the house cooler in summer, warmer on winter evenings and noticeably quieter.

4. Large openings

   PVC frames are wider than aluminium ones. For very large sliding doors or glass walls, aluminium is usually the better choice, and plenty of owners combine the two.

Washing the frames with water and a mild cleaner a few times a year is usually all it takes. Avoid scouring products, keep the drainage openings clear and lubricate the hardware now and then.

PVC is practical for bedrooms and bathrooms, for apartments and for homes that are rented out, where low maintenance counts. It is also a sensible way to replace the old single-glazed windows of a villa when you want comfort without making the frames a design feature.

We visit, measure every opening and advise on profile, colour and glass. You receive a clear quote in writing. Once you agree, we ask for a deposit and order the windows, which are made to measure and delivered to your home. Our fitters install them and we check everything with you before you pay the balance.

We price PVC windows after measuring; the prices page explains what affects the cost. You can also compare aluminium and wood, or read the windows overview.

We install PVC windows in Jávea, Moraira and Dénia, and in Benissa, Teulada, Calpe, Benitachell, Pedreguer, Gata de Gorgos, Ondara, El Verger, Els Poblets and Orba.
