What you need to know.
The main uPVC frame is plastic rather than timber. The complete window also includes glass, fittings and any internal supports required by the design. Compare the whole product, including maintenance and end-of-life options, when considering environmental impact.
How to choose for your home.
Ask about the exact frame product, its expected care, repair options and any available collection or recycling route. uPVC can be recycled in suitable systems, but local recovery arrangements must be checked. No universal number of trees saved or carbon reduction is claimed for an iTech project.
Your practical checklist.
- Compare complete products.
- Ask about maintenance and repair.
- Check local recovery options.
- Avoid unsupported environmental numbers.

What to share with our team.
Send a photo of the window or door opening and the room around it. Write the approximate width and height in feet, inches or millimetres, and clearly mention the unit. Tell us what matters most: fresh air, privacy, mosquito mesh, easy cleaning or space saving.
The team will confirm the final size, suitable materials, price and installation work. If your project needs an engineer’s approval or special safety requirements, discuss these before placing the order.
