Has anyone had any double glazing fitted recently? Do you know the difference between uPVC and GRP? I have uPVC at the moment and hate it plus I want something different to everyone else. Thanks Carolyn |

GRP is more of a resin than a plastic. Similar properties to uPVC thermally but can have a longer life (usually 25 year warranty & up to 75 years life) or so what our customer who's a window company have said |

windows are kinda of my thing so here are a few bits: I think both turn yellow over time and will always look a bit naff, if you can I'd invest in good quality timber instead. Get double glazing with a low-e coating! |

Timber of course would look way better, but costs a lot more initially, needs continual maintenance, and by nature of things is more prone to leaks from warping. |

The folks last place had timber frames, and we didn't have any of those issues. As for continual maintenance, a lot of treatments these days will ensure it's longevity. |

If you pay a bit extra for good quality timber (treated etc). they will last indefinitely. |
