In Australia, with our 'earthy' heritage it may feel different to frame our windows in uPVC, an entirely synthetic material. But uPVC looks just like carefully painted timber, although it performs better in many important ways.

uPVC is so environmentally neutral that it is used for many bio-sensitive applications, from pharmaceutical containers to waterpipes. It is totally recyclable.

The 'u' in uPVC stands for unplasticised, a rigid form of PVC that lasts so long we give it a lifetime warranty.

CertainTeed double glazing helps reduce home energy consumption by 50 to 80%. Greenhouse gas emissions drop along with your power bills.

An American study showed how, right from the earliest stages of manufacture, uPVC windows have less impact on the environment. *

  • uPVC saves 100% of the trees used for timber windows.
  • uPVC saves two-thirds of the energy needed to manufacture metal framed windows.
  • Readily recycled. Even factory scrap goes back into other uPVC products.
  • Because they never need painting, cleanup and disposal of paints and stains are also avoided. (CertainTeed windows are good for you as well as the environment!)
