uPVC windows profiles come in various shapes, sizes and colour options. The different uPVC systems are suitable for both domestic and light commercial use. Once you have made the decision to purchase new uPVC windows, the cost will be determined by a number of factors:

• Number of windows and doors required
• Size of windows and doors  required
• Colour and profile type, also called the system chosen
• Choice of glass, whether double glazing or triple glazing for uPVC windows
• Specification of glass, e.g. toughened, laminated, decorative etc.
• Hardware options, handle type and colour for example
• Cost of installation if not supply only
• Other personal preferences

uPVC Profile Options

There are various uPVC windows profiles available for you to choose from. The profile type, also referred to as the system, determines what the finished window looks like. Here, we are concentrating on the profile options that Deceuninck extrude. We use these profiles to manufacture our uPVC windows and doors. The profile types are:

• Chamfered (referred to by Deceuninck as Traditional Series)
• Sculptured (referred to by Deceuninck as Heritage Series)
• Flush ( referred to by Deceuninck as Heritage Flush Sash)

Why choose a Deceuninck profile?  Deceuninck are a leading extruder of premium PVCu products. They are renowned in the industry for quality and excellence.

We cover in more detail what the main differences are below, but to summarise:

• Chamfered () sash windows offer a similar look to sculptured but with a sharper-looking detail
• Sculptured () sash windows on any outward opening window stand proud of the frame, overlapping it all around
• Flush casement windows have the opening sashes sitting within the frame and flush with the outside and inside face of the window
