How do uPVC and WPC compare on cost? Here's an honest view without misleading figures.
WPC (wood-plastic composite) is a blend of wood fibre and plastic, used mainly for doors and some fittings. uPVC (unplasticised PVC) is the material used for window and door frames. Both are moisture-resistant alternatives to timber, but they suit different jobs.
Because they're used for different things — uPVC for windows and glazed doors, WPC for solid doors — a straight cost comparison can mislead. Each is priced by specification.
Rather than a misleading rate, the honest answer is that cost depends on what you're making — a glazed uPVC window versus a solid WPC door aren't directly comparable. We quote each on its actual specification.
They're used for different things, so a straight comparison misleads — uPVC for windows and glazed doors, WPC for solid doors. Each is priced by specification, which we quote on the actual job.
Both save on maintenance versus timber — no painting or rot treatment. Value comes from longevity and low upkeep.
On a like-for-like basis for the actual item — we quote your real job rather than a flat rate.
