uPVC Windows Croydon: Fitted, Replaced and Repaired by Local Experts

Good windows & Doors make a house feel better. They keep the warmth in, the noise out and the draughts away, and they look good from the street.

At Glitz Windows & Doors, we supply and fit uPVC windows for homes across Croydon, and we repair and replace existing ones too. Whether you live in a Victorian terrace in Thornton Heath, a 1930s semi in Shirley or a flat in central Croydon, we’ll help you choose windows that suit your home, and fit them properly.

Why Choose uPVC Windows for Your Croydon Home?

uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is the most popular window material in the UK, and for good reason. Here's what you get:

Warmth

Multi-chamber frames and sealed double glazing help keep heat inside, so your home feels more comfortable and your heating works less hard.

Low Maintenance

No sanding or repainting. A wipe with a damp cloth keeps your uPVC windows looking good.

Durability

uPVC doesn't rot, rust or warp the way timber can. With basic care, good frames can last 25 years or more.

Security

Multi-point locking and tough frames make forced entry much harder, helping you feel more secure at home.

Quieter Rooms

Double glazing can help cut traffic and street noise, which matters in busier parts of Croydon.

Good Value

uPVC usually costs less upfront than aluminium or timber, while still offering strong long-term performance.

A Little Maintenance Still Matters

Nothing is truly "maintenance-free". Seals, hinges and handles all wear over time, and occasional servicing keeps windows working smoothly. That's where our window repair service comes in.

Our uPVC Window Styles in Croydon

Different homes need different windows. Here’s how our main styles compare, so you can pick with confidence.

uPVC Casement Windows Croydon

The all-rounder. Casement windows open on side or top hinges and suit almost any property. Their slim frames let in plenty of light, and you can add Georgian bars, coloured finishes and different handles to match your home.

uPVC Tilt and Turn Windows Croydon

These tilt inwards at the top for secure ventilation, or swing fully open from the side. They’re easy to clean from inside, which is a real bonus on upper floors and in flats. They’re also a good choice for fire escape requirements in bedrooms, since they open wide.

uPVC Sliding Sash Windows Croydon

If you love the look of traditional sash windows but not the draughts, rattles and rot of old timber, modern uPVC sliding sash windows are a smart swap. They slide vertically, suit period homes beautifully, and woodgrain finishes keep the classic look.

uPVC Flush Sash Windows Croydon

Flush sash windows sit level with the frame when closed, copying the neat look of traditional timber joinery. They’re popular in Edwardian and Victorian-style properties, and in modern homes that want a refined finish.

uPVC Bay and Bow Windows Croydon

Bay and bow windows bring in extra light and add space to a room. Replacing worn-out ones can transform both the front of your house and the room inside. They need careful measuring and fitting, so it’s worth using an installer with plenty of bay window experience.

Different homes need different windows. Here’s how our main styles compare, so you can pick with confidence.

Window Replacement

uPVC Window Replacement in Croydon

How do you know it's time for new windows? Common signs include draughts, condensation, damaged frames and windows that no longer open, close or lock properly.

Replacing old windows can improve comfort, security, energy efficiency and the appearance of your home.

Signs Your Windows May Need Replacing

Draughts or cold spots around the frames
Condensation or fogging between the glass panes
Windows that stick, rattle or won't lock properly
Damaged, rotting or warped frames

What Our Customers in Croydon Says About Us

uPVC Windows Croydon: Frequently Asked Questions

How long do uPVC windows last?

Quality uPVC windows commonly last 25 years or more with basic care. Seals, handles and hinges may need attention sooner.

Are uPVC windows energy efficient?

Yes. Multi-chamber frames and sealed double glazing reduce heat loss, and modern windows are rated for energy performance. Ask us about the energy rating of your chosen window.

Do I need planning permission for new windows in Croydon?

Usually not for like-for-like replacements, but listed buildings and some conservation areas have extra rules. Check with Croydon Council first.

Can you repair my uPVC windows instead of replacing them?

Often, yes. Misted glass, faulty handles, worn seals and sticking hinges can usually be repaired without replacing the whole window.

What's the difference between flush sash and sliding sash windows?

Flush sash windows open outwards on hinges and sit level with the frame. Sliding sash windows move up and down. Both give a traditional look.
