A young woman hangs in danger from a hotel window on the third floor while her friends desperately attempt to pull her back to safety. The dramatic photo was shot in Bromley.

In contrast to traditional windows that let heat escape and let in drafts, replacement UPVC windows are extremely durable and help to maintain a comfortable temperature all year round, reducing your energy bills.

Aesthetics

Our Bromley windows are designed to fit in with modern, new-build or period homes. french doors bromley are available in a range of finishes and colours, with choices of glazing designs, Georgian bars and leaded or obscure glass, as in sash styles, beading options and handle colours to ensure you get the right solution that complements their home's style.

The REHAU Heritage vertical slider is a top aluminium window that replicates the slim lines and authentic wood styling features of traditional sash windows. It comes with a thick bottom rail that replicates the original vertical mortice and joinery, and an array of sash styles and glazing options.

Energy efficiency

Energy efficient windows allow sunlight to shine through and block unwanted heat, UV and infrared rays. This lets homeowners reduce their heating and cooling costs significantly while increasing their home's resale value.

The most windows for energy efficiency have a high R-value, low U-factor and a low solar heat gain coefficient. The higher the rating, more efficient the windows insulation will be. The frame's material can impact the efficiency of energy. Wood frames expand and contract more than vinyl, which can cause air leakage, while frames made of clad-wood and fiberglass offer superior insulation with less expansion and contraction.

Multiple-paned windows are more energy efficient than single-paned ones. This is due to dead air trapped between two glass panes. The inert gases such as Krypton and argon that are that are found in these triple- and double-pane windows act as an additional layer of insulation. They also slow the flow of cold and hot air blocking radiative transfer and cutting down on costs for energy.

A special coating is also applied to energy efficient windows. The coating stops the harmful ultraviolet sun's rays from entering the home. This protects carpets, furniture and rugs from discoloring. While these benefits sound wonderful however, the real savings result from a decrease in heating and cooling costs which could pay for the windows in 2 to 10 years. This is why it's crucial to speak with a professional such as a Marvin window expert prior to deciding on new windows.





Security

Many uPVC windows are designed to guarantee security. They feature robust, rugged bars crafted from thick iron or steel to ensure that your property is secured from unwanted invaders. They are available in a range of shapes and sizes which makes them easy to incorporate into your home's design, without having to compromise on style.

Other window security options include shoot bolts with multiple points and multi-point locks. These locking mechanisms stop the sash's movement when it is closed, and secure it to the mainframe for added security.
