When good looks are everything
Don't worry, we're not claiming that our installation teams are particularly handsome - we employ them first and foremost for their skill of course! - but these days, there can be more to windows looking pretty than just style, colour and finish.In Ipswich and Suffolk slimline aluminium windows are becoming increasingly popular with architects. The innovative aluminium frames offer sleeker and stronger profiles and can also be available in stylish colours and finishes. We've recently had a few of our customers request coloured aluminium windows in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. Even though the aluminium windows come at a premium over PVC equivalents, they are not just aesthetically more pleasing to the eye thanks to their thinner and less bulky frames, but they also let more light into the property and simply allow more of any view to be admired. Warm-core aluminium technologies now mean that aluminium windows or bi-folding doors can be super-insulated and really energy efficient too.
Talk about appearance & style!
Your windows make a real statement about your home. A change of window style and design can really transform the whole appearance and visual impression of a property.

As safe as houses
Good looks might be one priority, but you'll want to be sure that your new windows are robust and reassuringly secure wherever you live.
PVC-u is very reliable and trustworthy when it comes to security due to its resilience and robustness. PVC-u frames are constructed to incredible hardness, making windows and doors very difficult to damage or break through. Their strength is extremely impressive. Aluminium is considered to be even more secure and almost totally burglar-proof due to its strength, but PVC-u is not far behind.
At Falcon Windows, all our windows also feature our Maco shoot-bolt locking system - another reason why you can have peace of mind that you will be safe within your own home.
u-PVC - it's maintenance free

Benefits of PVC-u Windows
Choosing your window frame material (timber, hardwood, softwood, u-PVC, aluminium ) is one of the most important options that needs to be decided when choosing to install double glazing
The use of un-plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC-u has grown hugely in popularity and is now one of the most recommended and most widely chosen materials in use by the biggest double glazing companies.
Here, some of the key advantages and disadvantages to using uPVC over its alternatives are briefly outlined and explained.
Cost
Cost is always a consideration and influence. PVC-u solutions are usually the cheapest on offer after materials like aluminium and timber. This is far from PVC-u's greatest attraction, but its relative cost- effectiveness is certainly a bonus that makes a difference. When coupled with A & B efficiency rated sealed units, this gives your windows a very impressive insulation value. (Technically speaking, a low U value - the lower the insulation value the lower the better.)
Maintenance
Another hugely appealing feature of PVC-u is that it is remarkably low maintenance. Timber and woods generally require a re-paint every 5 years alongside occasional refilling jobs and patching due to their tendency to rot and flake. Aluminium is resilient, but still needs attention every now and then. PVC-u frames however never rot, flake, rust or fade. Apart from a quick wipe with a cloth to keep them clean, u-PVC frames require virtually no maintenance - what a convenient and time-saving solution!
Durability
Un-plasticized Polyvinyl Chloride is also the most durable of the materials available. Woods can rot and start to warp over time and aluminium can pick up rust, whereas uPVC is strong, tough and resilient. It is highly unlikely that PVC-u will need to be changed and some companies even offer up to 10 year guarantees on PVC-u double glazing.
Security
Resilient and robust, PVC-u is very reliable and trustworthy when it comes to security. U-PVC frames are extremely difficult to break through or damage. Aluminium is similarly if not more secure, almost totally burglar-proof, however u-PVC is a close second.
Insulation
Insulation is another feature of the PVC-u material that surpasses woods and aluminium. It was created to be a very competent insulator and provides the best heat and energy insulation available. It is a very good insulator compared to the alternative of regular aluminium and timber and this ability to keep heat in and sound out is largely responsible for its popularity.
Aesthetics
The major shortcoming of pvc is undoubtedly its aesthetic value. In many people's eyes, it's simple, white plastic look is far from attractive and some consider PVC-u frames to look unstylish or plain when compared to timber and aluminium. Different colour products are now however available, but when replacing windows whilst trying to keep the character of the home, it may not be ideal. For listed buildings and those within conservation areas, local planning councils would often be likely to insist on timber or aluminium frames.
