Types of Windows Available From Centric Home Improvements

Centric home improvements supply and fit double glazed windows in Cardiff, including casement, flush and tilt and turn. Our uPVC windows provide excellent thermal performance, effectively trapping warm air in the property and controlling heat movement outwards. They also provide a more energy-efficient alternative to traditional sash windows found in many Cardiff properties.
UPVC replacement windows

UPVC replacement windows are available in various designs to suit the style of your home. These double-glazed windows are easy to clean, durable, and energy efficient. They also reduce outside noise and draughts, making your home more comfortable. UPVC windows also require less maintenance than traditional window frames.

uPVC is the UK’s most popular material and has undergone significant improvements to make it some of the most energy-efficient available. Its low conductivity ensures a closed air system, minimising heat loss.

You can choose from a variety of UPVC styles and colours, including white, to match your home. White frames are particularly easy to maintain as they don’t show dirt as easily. However, you may want to consider choosing a darker frame if you have small children or pets.
Sash windows

Sash windows (also known as box sash or Georgian sash) feature two sliding sashes in a frame, which are fitted into vertical grooves and counterbalanced with weights that are hidden in the frame. This allows the windows to be opened and closed, creating a beautiful heritage look to your home.

These windows are also an energy efficient choice, with double glazing preventing heat loss and controlling the flow of heat in and out of your house during cold weather. They can be upgraded with draught seals to prevent water ingress and air movement, as well as being fitted with low-E glass.

Our uPVC sash windows replicate the appearance of traditional timber frames with slim sightlines and heritage good looks, while offering all the benefits of modern performance. The Ultimate Rose range takes uPVC sash windows to new levels of authenticity and period accuracy.
Casement windows

Casement windows are hinged on the side and crank open outward to the left or right, allowing full top to bottom ventilation. They are commonly seen above kitchen sinks and offer the perfect solution for those hard to reach areas.

The slim frames of uPVC casement windows allow maximum light into a property and are easy to clean, ideal for the busy Cardiff homeowner. With a choice of profiles available, from the contemporary square bevelled to the traditional ovolo style, you are sure to find a style to suit your property.

Our uPVC casement windows have multi chambered profiles that create pockets of insulating air, resulting in energy efficiency and significantly reducing heating costs throughout the year. They are also fitted with Mila locks, providing peace of mind for all home owners.
Bay windows

A bay window is an attractive feature that can add a spacious feel to a room. It can also provide extra light, making it a great option for kitchens and living rooms. Bay windows are available in different sizes and styles, and can be made with a variety of materials.

If you want to install a bay window, it is important to look for a reliable and professional tradesperson. You should ask a potential contractor for references and photos of previous jobs they have completed. This can give you an idea of their quality of work.

It is also important to choose a company that offers laminated glass. This type of glass is safer than standard windows because it does not break into dangerous shards. This also makes it more difficult for burglars to break in.
French windows

Whether you’re looking for windows to add some glamour to your home or a way to connect the outdoors with the indoors, French windows can do both. Originally popular in the 17th century, this window type combines aesthetic brilliance and utility, delivering heaps of natural light and fresh air.

The defining feature of a French window is its large glass panes, which offer unobstructed views of the surrounding environment. These windows can also include ornamental muntins and grilles that provide further visual flair.

Moreover, the wide sashes of French windows can be opened inward or outward, facilitating ventilation and reducing carbon dioxide levels. They can also be built with energy-efficient frames and insulated glass, which help lower monthly heating bills. These windows are also extremely durable, able to resist heavy impact and come with secure locking mechanisms for security purposes.windows cardiff
