Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long do uPVC Windows last?

    Lifetime windows are manufactured to British Standards. Our uPVC windows last around 20 years. If your uPVC windows are showing signs of cracking or chipping then your windows may need replacing sooner. We guarantee our window frames for 10 years and the sealed units for 5 years. If your Lifetime windows show signs of damage before then, you can get them replaced under your guarantee.

  • How much does it cost for double glazing?

    How much does it cost for double glazing? It’s difficult for double-glazing companies to provide a fixed cost for double-glazing, as the price will depend on the individual requirements and specifications of the home. We provide a bespoke window fitting service, so the price is bespoke too. 

  • Is triple glazing better than double glazing?

    With the highest energy rating possible of A++, triple glazing is the most energy-efficient glazing option on the market. It is at least a grade higher than double-glazing. Triple glazing is made from one pane of Low E glass and two panes of clear glass. It is the best option for your home if you want to retain the maximum amount of heat and block out noise.

  • Do coloured uPVC Windows fade?

    uPVC windows are durable, hard-wearing and low maintenance. If correctly maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, there should be no noticeable fading to uPVC windows within our 10-year guarantee.
