When it comes to buying uPVC windows, many homeowners are opting for coloured windows instead of white.
With so many colours and finishes now on the market, are white uPVC windows going out of style?
Read on to find out if white uPVC windows are still in style.
What is UPVC?
UPVC stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. It is a lightweight, long-lasting plastic often used in the construction of windows and doors in Scotland.
It quickly grew in popularity around the late 1970s and early 80s when during this time, it became the most popular option for windows and doors.
It is still an extremely popular choice for homeowners getting new windows and doors in Scotland.
Common Misconceptions About White UPVC?
Many people stay away from white uPVC as they believe it will discolour over time. While this may be the case with older uPVC windows, this is not the case with modern uPVC windows.
Modern uPVC windows are designed so that they won’t discolour, making your windows look as good as the day you got them. This is great from any colour but especially white windows which previously greyed or yellowed over time.
Are White UPVC Windows Still in Style?
While many homeowners have jumped on the trend of getting coloured uPVC windows, White uPVC windows are still popular.
White is still a popular option for homeowners as it gives a clean, fresh look to homes.
They windows are also a safe choice and shouldn’t upset anyone unless you live in certain properties such as a period, heritage or listed property.
