If you’re considering upgrading your home’s windows, there’s one name that stands out: REHAU. With a solid reputation for quality and innovation, REHAU’s uPVC Windows are among the best available. And here at Glasstec Windows, we’re proud to offer these top-tier products at competitive prices.
In this post, we’ll break down everything you need to know about REHAU uPVC Windows, the benefits they offer, their styles, costs, and most importantly, why Glasstec Windows is your trusted supplier and installer.
What Are uPVC Windows?
uPVC stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, a tough, weather-resistant, and low-maintenance material that has become the go-to choice for windows in UK homes. Unlike timber, it doesn’t rot or need painting. Unlike aluminium, it offers superior insulation. And compared to older window types, uPVC frames provide excellent long-term performance with minimal upkeep.
Whether you’re building a new property or replacing older window frames, this material offers the ideal combination of strength, durability, and energy efficiency.
Why Choose REHAU Windows?
REHAU is a brand known for producing cutting-edge, long-lasting solutions. Their window profiles are some of the most advanced available, combining smart design with practical features.
Energy Efficiency at Its Best
REHAU systems feature multi-chambered profiles that trap heat and reduce energy loss. Combined with double or triple glazing, this design helps keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer — which means lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
Peace of Mind Through Security
Security isn’t just a feature — it’s a priority. REHAU window frames are designed to integrate with high-performance locking systems, offering superior resistance to forced entry. The internal structure is reinforced, and the hardware supports multi-point locks.
Reduces External Noise
If your home is in a busy area or near a main road, REHAU’s design provides excellent acoustic insulation. Their frames and glazing combinations help reduce unwanted outside noise, creating a quieter, more comfortable living space.
Built to Last
REHAU uPVC windows are made to perform for decades. Their strong frame construction resists warping, swelling, and discoloration caused by the UK’s changeable weather.
Range of Finishes
From traditional white to modern anthracite grey or natural woodgrain effects, REHAU offers a wide choice of colours and textures. Whether your property is a heritage home or a modern build, there’s a design to match.
Window Styles Available
At Glasstec Windows, we supply and install a wide range of REHAU systems to suit all kinds of homes and preferences:
Casement Style
Hinged on the side, these windows open outward and are ideal for maximum ventilation. Casement types remain one of the most popular styles for homeowners.
Tilt & Turn
These versatile uPVC Windows open in two directions — tilting inwards for secure ventilation, or fully turning for easy cleaning and wide access.
Sash
A classic option that blends period charm with modern performance. Ideal for older properties needing authentic aesthetics.
Bay and Bow
Perfect for adding space and light to a room. The outward curve creates a beautiful feature in any home.
Fixed Frames
Used to bring in light without the need to open, fixed units are a great option for large feature glazing or modern architecture.

uPVC Windows vs. Traditional Alternatives
When comparing window materials, uPVC stands out in almost every category. Timber windows, while classic and stylish, are prone to rotting, swelling, and require regular painting or varnishing. Aluminium windows are durable but can lack the thermal insulation that uPVC provides.
uPVC Windows, on the other hand, combine the best of all worlds — durability, insulation, low maintenance, and affordability. They are resistant to the UK’s fluctuating weather, from freezing winters to damp, rainy conditions. Their colourfastness ensures they won’t fade or peel over time, even in direct sunlight.
At Glasstec Windows, we often replace old timber and aluminium units with REHAU uPVC Windows, and our customers notice immediate improvements — especially in warmth, soundproofing, and general comfort.
Glazing Options for uPVC Windows
The performance of your uPVC Windows doesn’t just rely on the frame. Glazing plays a major role in insulation, noise reduction, and security. REHAU systems can be fitted with a variety of high-performance glazing options:
-
Double Glazing: Standard in most installations, providing thermal insulation and security.
-
Triple Glazing: Offers even better energy performance and is ideal for ultra-low-energy homes or properties in noisy areas.
-
Toughened or Laminated Glass: Extra strong for added safety, often used in ground-floor or vulnerable locations.
-
Obscured or Decorative Glass: Great for bathrooms or enhancing privacy without compromising light.
Every REHAU uPVC Window you buy from Glasstec Windows comes with glazing tailored to your needs, ensuring the best results for your home.
