uPVC (Again!) Windows
Close on the heels of the plea not to choose uPVC doors, comes a story of 14 uPVC windows.
The manufacturers of these accursed uPVC products tend to discontinue them after only a few years. And whereas wooden doors and windows can be kept in service for twenty years or more, once your uPVC window or door has failed (and it will) you won’t be able to repair – only replace.
I’ve just been to a job where the keys to the espag handles (espangnolette handles) on the uPVC windows were lost two occupants ago. Yes: the manufacturer has discontinued them and I can’t even get a key blank. All 14 handles will have to be replaced.
