In Coimbatore specifically, how do wood and uPVC windows compare? The climate matters here.
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.
Coimbatore is hard on timber — humidity, monsoon, and termites all work against it. That's why so many of the windows we replace are wooden ones that have swollen, stuck, or rotted. uPVC simply doesn't have those failure modes.
uPVC, for practical reasons — Coimbatore's humidity swells and warps timber, monsoon accelerates rot, and termites are a real local pressure. uPVC is immune to all three.
In this humidity, yes — it's the most common reason we're called to replace them, along with swelling and sticking.
Yes — woodgrain uPVC finishes give the timber look without the rot, warping, or repainting.
