How do you know your uPVC windows need replacing?

FAQs
How often you should replace your uPVC windows wholly depends on which you use and how frequently you use them. If you use your windows daily – no matter whether they are single or double glazing – they will naturally have a shorter lifespan than one that has a lower usage.
But apart from this, other factors might also cause your window frames to deteriorate faster than expected. Mainly this is related to what kind of climatic conditions the windows are exposed to on a daily basis. Some places get colder or hotter – it all matters!
