Casement uPVC Windows Installation

A period detached house in St Albans required a full set of replacement windows. The existing timber frames were rotting, draughty, and single-glazed, detracting from the property’s traditional charm. The homeowners wanted a classic, elegant solution that would combine modern performance with timeless aesthetics. The goal was to install white uPVC casement windows featuring gold/brass handles to add a touch of sophistication and complement the property’s period character.

Our Solution

We supplied and installed high-performance white uPVC casement windows throughout the property, finished with premium brass-effect handles. The solution included:

• White uPVC casement windows with side-hung openings and concealed friction hinges
• A-rated double glazing with argon gas fill and low-E coating for superior insulation
• Premium brass/gold-effect handles for an elegant, traditional finish
• Multi-point locking systems with anti-snap cylinders
• Trickle vents to reduce condensation and improve indoor air quality
• Georgian bar inserts on front-facing windows to retain period character
• Reinforced frames for added strength and durability
• Matching white sills, trims, and hardware for a seamless finish
