At Crown, we’ve been installing uPVC windows and doors across Buckinghamshire for over 20 years, so we’re confident in our ability to recognise the right home improvement products for the county.
Looking at the UK in its entirety, uPVC doors have shot to the top of the door popularity charts, largely due to their low maintenance, affordability, impressive thermal efficiency, and the different colours they’re available in.
This is no different in our home county of Buckinghamshire, and this blog will explain why these versatile doors are perfectly suited to our area.
What is uPVC?
But before we get into the finer details, here’s a look into what makes uPVC the impressive material that it is.
Standing for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride, uPVC is a type of plastic commonly used for window frames, doors, and other building materials. One of the main reasons for it being the UK’s most popular door material is due to its affordability, especially when compared with timber.
However, this is not due to a lack of quality, but instead its ability to be mass-produced.
What makes uPVC Perfect for Buckinghamshire Homes?
Energy Efficiency and Insulation
As we’re sure you know, living in Buckinghamshire means experiencing varied weather conditions throughout the year. To combat this, our uPVC doors provide excellent thermal insulation, helping to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer, as the material is built to reduce heat transfer.
This impressive energy efficiency has the ability to significantly reduce your energy bills while maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature – a win-win!
Security Features
At Crown, we recognise that security is paramount for any homeowner.
Our doors come fitted with advanced multi-point locking systems that meet or exceed current security standards.
uPVC itself provides you with structural integrity, giving you peace of mind about your home’s security, as the material won’t weaken over time!
Weather Resistance
As aforementioned, Buckinghamshire’s weather can be unpredictable, but UPVC doors are designed to withstand whatever Mother Nature throws at them.
Whether it’s rain, wind, or sunshine (sometimes in the space of an hour), these doors won’t warp, rot, or fade, maintaining their appearance and functionality year after year.
Low Maintenance Requirements
One of the most significant advantages of uPVC doors is their minimal maintenance needs, something you’ll be thankful for over time.
Simply cleaning them now and again with warm soapy water is usually all that’s required to keep them looking their best.
Unlike wooden doors, they don’t need painting or treating, saving time and money over their lifetime that you can spend on things you love.
Available Styles
Entrance Doors
Our range of uPVC front doors combines security with style.
Available in various designs, from traditional to contemporary, they make a striking first impression while protecting your home.
White UPVC remains a classic choice, but we offer numerous colour options, including the increasingly popular Anthracite Grey.
French Doors
French doors offer a classic look with modern performance benefits.
Perfect for creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, they’re particularly popular in Buckinghamshire’s suburban properties.
They’ve been a desirable addition to homes for centuries, so will add a welcome increase to your home’s value too.
Patio Doors
Our uPVC patio doors are ideal for maximising natural light and garden views. Their sliding mechanism makes them space-efficient, while advanced glazing options improve their thermal performance.
