uPVC does not conduct heat or cold like aluminium. There is no transfer of temperature to the glass or the home environment from the frames. No pitting, warping or breakdown in the frames & is low maintenance & recyclable. Perfect for saltwater areas.

Double glazing is a thermal & noise reduction glass that prevents heat & cold entering & leaving the building. With single glazing 70% of heat or cold is lost through the windows & doors.

Low-e glass has a microscopically thin, transparent coating ? it is much thinner than a human hair ? that reflects long-wave infrared energy (or heat). Some low-e?s also reflect significant amounts of short-wave solar infrared energy. When the interior heat energy tries to escape to the colder outside during the winter, the low-e coating reflects the heat back to the inside, reducing the radiant heat loss through the glass. The reverse happens during the summer time

Wilkins Windows use single glazing, double glazing, Low e, toughened glass & a combination of thermals, acoustic & noise reduction.

Not generally, double glazing has to be inserted into a product/frame that is setup to accommodate thicker & heavier glass so is not practical to use existing frames.

Wilkins Windows mainly use solid Western Red Cedar. For public & fire areas we use different types of hardwood.
