Thinking of replacing wooden windows with uPVC? Here's what actually changes.
Timber windows look beautiful and have real character, but wood absorbs moisture — so it swells, warps, and eventually rots. It also needs regular painting or sealing to hold off that decay, and termites will target it.
uPVC absorbs almost no water, so it won't swell, warp, or rot. It needs no painting, and termites have no interest in it.
The change people notice most isn't the look — it's that the windows simply stop being a chore. No repainting, no sticking in monsoon, no rot. And if you liked the timber look, woodgrain uPVC keeps it.
To stop the upkeep — no repainting, no swelling or sticking in monsoon, no rot or termite damage — plus better sealing against dust and noise. Woodgrain finishes keep the timber look if you want it.
