REDUCE HEAT LOSS AND FUEL BILLS


Badly fitting single glazed windows and doors can account


for the major heat loss from any room. SOVEREIGN PVC windows and doors have specially designed seals which ensure tight closure, keeping heat in and cold out. Used in conjunction with double glazing they also exclude the cold down draughts normally felt due to heat loss from single glazed windows.

SOVEREIGN PVC windows and doors need no painting whatsoever. Their attractive colour and smooth surface finish are permanent features. Maintenance demands only an occasional light lubrication of hinges and locks. These are real benefits when compared with the annually increas­ ing cost of and disruption caused, by regular painting of softwood and metal frames.

Undoubtedly the most appealing benefit of SOVEREIGN PVC windows and doors is their total resistance to atmos­ pheric conditions. Extremes of heat, cold, sun, rain and wind create multiple problems in windows and doors of wood and metal. SOVEREIGN PVC frames are immune to such hazards, they wil not rust, oxidise, warp, rot or deform even when climatic conditions are further aggravated by the salt laden and polluted atmospheres encountered in coastal and heavily industrialised regions.
