There are three main types of uPVC profiles and they are described as ovolo, chamfered, and flush. Ovolo window profiles are ideal for a timeless, traditional look with sculptured framing and rounded edges to the windows. Chamfered window profiles, on the other hand, provide a sleek, classic, look for modern windows. This profile is defined by its neat, linear, appearance, creating a stylish feel wherever it is used.
The flat edges have a more contemporary feel than ovolo designs. The chamfered designs still have a traditional and familiar look, just one that is more contemporary and less decorative than ovolo frames.
Flush casements windows are a timeless, elegant window solution, characterised by sleek window lines that fit flush into the window frame, unlike stormproof windows that overlap in the frame.
When closed the window sash is level with the outer frame creating smooth and even external contours. Timber windows, despite their natural beauty and charming aesthetic, are prone to rot and warping due to their cellular makeup and will need regular treating, painting, and cleaning. This is something you will never have to worry about again after investing in uPVC windows.
We also offer wood-effect finishes, such as Irish Oak, which resemble traditional timber windows. Double or triple glazed uPVC windows will make a noticeable difference to the comfort of your home, reducing heat loss, and keeping it warmer and more insulated. We also inject the gap between our double or triple glazing panes with argon gas. Argon gas slows the transfer of heat through windows and doors. Since it is so viscous, it acts as a fantastic thermal barrier.
Molecular movement is extremely restricted within the gas, so less heat is transferred and far less heat loss occurs. Our uPVC windows come with effective locks that will ensure your home is protected against intrusion.
The beading refers to the part of the frame holding the glass in place and is usually a plastic strip at the edge of the glass which snaps securely into the recess. One of the biggest advantages of internal beading is that there is very little risk of it being removed from the outside. In order to remove the beading, an intruder would have to smash the glass and reach in, most likely disturbing you or possibly triggering an alarm in the process.
You can rest assured that all of our windows have been rigorously tested to provide the best defense for your family. By using the Optima profile, we can offer a window that meets the highest standards of security.
The window is fitted with a high-security multi-point locking system and internally glazed, preventing a burglar from removing the pane from the outside. The uPVC profile itself is durable and strong, standing tall against uninvited visitors. The Central Eurogroove within the profile gives the sash greater rigidity.
Our Windows are Secured by Design with a simple selection of additional dog bolts to the hinge side of the window and laminated glass where applicable. Emplas is able to offer our casement window range in a variety of different colours.

But generally, it depends on the manufacturer. From a fitting point of view, I prefer Rehau over others. Signature Windows.
In the main I hired a builder after getting quotes from several builders to build an extension to the front and rear of my house. I have a Ask a tradesman. Is one brand of UPVC window better than another? Please advise. Thank you.
