uPVC Casement Windows: The Popular Choice
uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is the most common material used for casement windows in the UK. At Renaissance Conservatories, we offer high-quality uPVC casement windows that are designed to withstand Britain’s weather and provide year-round comfort for your home. Here are some of the key benefits of choosing uPVC casement windows:
- Energy efficiency: Our uPVC windows feature a four-chambered design that prevents cold air from entering your home, reducing your reliance on heating. For even greater insulation, we offer a six-chambered profile with an A+ energy efficiency rating.
- Low maintenance: uPVC windows are easy to clean and maintain, requiring only occasional wiping to keep them looking their best.
- Colour options: Choose from a range of attractive colours and finishes, including Rosewood, Chartwell Green, and many more, to complement your home’s exterior.
- Customisable: Select from chamfered or sculpted profiles and add Georgian bars for an authentic touch.
- Eco-friendly: All our uPVC windows are lead-free and accredited to British and European standards.

uPVC is a thermally efficient plastic.
Aluminium Casement Windows: Strength and Style
For homeowners seeking a more contemporary look, aluminium casement windows are an excellent choice. At Renaissance Conservatories, our aluminium windows offer the perfect combination of strength, durability, and style. Here are some of the advantages of aluminium casement windows:
- Contemporary aesthetic: Slim, sleek frames provide a modern look that complements any home.
- Rust and corrosion resistance: Aluminium windows are naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for coastal properties in South Devon.
- Strong and durable: Aluminium frames are strong enough to support larger glass panes, allowing for wider views and more natural light.
- Thermally efficient: Our aluminium windows feature thermally broken profiles that prevent heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round and reducing energy costs, as well as minimising condensation.
