Frequently Asked Questions
- How long will my installation last?
- Many speak of PVC-U products such as windows, doors and conservatories lasting a lifetime because, unlike wood, there are no natural factors such as rotting or warping to limit its life. In practical terms, the industry standard is that a “lifetime” is defined as 35 years or more, assuming a little occasional maintenance. PVC-U has been used as a window frame material since the 1960s and many of the very earliest frames are still going strong.
