uPVC, Timber, Aluminium and Timber Effect Windows
Choosing the right material for your new windows is an essential part of the installation process. Although properties located in conservation areas may be restricted with building regulations, both our classic wooden windows and traditional timber alternative windows are approved for use due to their authentically charming appearance. For unrestricted properties, homeowners looking for a versatile style at an affordable price may sway towards practical uPVC window frames, whilst aluminium windows are perfect for those looking for a contemporary and sleek style.

Frequently Asked Questions
We’re sure you’ve got some questions or queries about the many window materials that we can offer. If you can’t find an answer below, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Which window material is cheapest?
uPVC tends to be more affordable thanks to cost effective manufacturing techniques that make it much more readily available. However, every Ideal window project is custom-made to accommodate your property and its specific needs - therefore, our prices are completely bespoke. Renowned for our high-performance window installations, visit our showroom to experience the quality for yourself, get in contact or request a free, no obligation quote today.
Can you get double glazed wooden windows?
Yes! At Ideal Window Solutions, our timber casements, tilt and turn and sliding sash windows feature high quality drained and vented timber frames with 24mm double glazing included as standard.
What is the thermal break in aluminium Windows?
All Ideal Window Solutions aluminium window frames utilise polyamide thermal break technology. This is where a reinforced barrier is placed between the inside and the outside of the aluminium frames, which effectively reduces the flow of thermal energy between conductive materials, making buildings warmer and quieter.
Do you need planning permission for replacement windows in a conservation area?
Unless your property is listed or covered by an Article 4 Direction, you shouldn’t need to apply for planning permission. As experts in this field, and many timber and timber alternative windows installations in conservation areas across Hampshire and Sussex behind us, don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss this further.
