The Complete Guide to UPVC Windows & Doors: Quality, Style & Energy Efficiency for Your Home
When it comes to upgrading your home in Glasgow or the surrounding areas, choosing the right windows and doors is a crucial decision. At Summerfield Windows & Doors, we specialise in supplying and installing premium UPVC windows and doors that combine durability, style, and energy efficiency. This complete guide will help you understand everything you need to know about UPVC windows and doors so you can make an informed choice for your home.
What is UPVC and Why Choose It?
UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) is a highly durable, low-maintenance material widely used in modern window and door manufacturing. Unlike traditional wooden frames, UPVC is resistant to rot, corrosion, and fading, making it perfect for the wet and often unpredictable Scottish weather.
Benefits of UPVC include:
Excellent thermal insulation to keep your home warm and reduce energy bills.
Superior weather resistance, ensuring your windows and doors last for decades.
Low maintenance—no need for regular painting or sanding.
Enhanced security features with multi-point locking systems.
Eco-friendly options, as UPVC frames can be recycled.
Types of UPVC Windows We Supply and Install
At Summerfield Windows & Doors, we offer a variety of window styles to suit every home:

Double vs Triple Glazing: What You Need to Know
When choosing your windows and doors, one important decision is whether to opt for double or triple glazing. Both offer excellent insulation and noise reduction, but there are some key differences to consider.
Double glazing features two panes of glass with a gap in between, which significantly reduces heat loss and helps keep your home warm during Glasgow’s chilly winters. It also provides good sound insulation for a quieter living space and is usually more affordable, making it a popular choice for most homes.
On the other hand, triple glazing includes three panes of glass, offering even better thermal efficiency and enhanced noise reduction. This makes it an ideal option for properties in particularly cold or noisy areas, or if you’re looking to maximize your home’s energy performance. While triple glazing tends to be a bit more expensive upfront, many homeowners find the long-term energy savings and comfort well worth the investment.
If you’re unsure which glazing option suits your home best, our team at Summerfield Windows & Doors can provide expert advice tailored to your needs.
