uPVC Windows in York
At SM Windows & Doors, we supply and fit uPVC windows across York and North Yorkshire, helping homeowners cut draughts, warm up their rooms and freshen up the look of their homes. From replacing tired, rattly frames to updating the whole front of the house, our uPVC windows in York are made to measure and built to last.
uPVC is popular for good reason. It is durable, easy to care for and a strong insulator, so your rooms stay warmer in winter and quieter year round. There is no repainting to worry about, just the odd wipe to keep the frames looking fresh, which is a real plus through our damp Yorkshire winters.
Why choose uPVC windows for your York home?
Whether you live in a Victorian terrace near the walls, a semi in Acomb or a newer place out towards Strensall and Huntington, uPVC windows help hold onto heat and keep energy bills in check. Modern double glazing makes a noticeable difference to comfort and noise, and the frames are tough enough to shrug off years of Yorkshire weather with barely any attention.
We provide:
- Flush casement windows for a clean look on modern and traditional homes
- Casement windows for everyday versatility and easy opening
- Sliding sash windows for a classic style with modern performance
- A wide choice of colours and finishes, including anthracite grey, black, cream and Chartwell green
- Energy-efficient glazing to help keep rooms warm and bills down
Styles and options
The right window really depends on your home. Sliding sash windows suit period properties around the city centre and villages like Bishopthorpe and Poppleton, keeping a traditional look while performing far better than the originals. Flush casements give a neat, timeless finish, and colours like Chartwell green or anthracite grey add plenty of character. If you are weighing up frame materials, it is worth comparing casement windows and our aluminium windows to see what fits your home and budget best.
Made to measure and fitted across York and North Yorkshire
Every window is measured and made for your exact opening, then fitted with care by our own team, leaving everything clean and tidy. We work across York and nearby areas including Haxby, Clifton, Fulford, Tadcaster and Selby. If your frames are basically sound but the glass has misted or a handle has failed, ask us about window repairs before replacing the lot.

Frequently asked questions
How much do uPVC windows cost in York?
The cost really depends on how many windows you are replacing, their size and the style and glazing you go for, but as a rough guide a single fitted uPVC window often lands somewhere in the low to mid hundreds of pounds. A whole-house job naturally works out at a better rate per window than doing one or two. Prices vary quite a bit, so it is worth asking us for a quote and we will measure up and give you a clear figure.
Will new uPVC windows help lower my energy bills?
They can make a real difference, especially if you are replacing old single glazing or tired frames that let in draughts. Modern double glazing and well-sealed uPVC frames hold onto more heat, so your rooms stay warmer and your heating does not have to work as hard through a damp York winter. You will often notice less outside noise too, which is a welcome bonus on busier streets.
Which uPVC window style suits a period home in York?
For older terraces around the city walls and villages like Bishopthorpe and Poppleton, sliding sash windows keep that traditional look while performing far better than the originals. Flush casements are another lovely option, sitting neat and flat in the frame for a timeless finish. Colours such as Chartwell green or anthracite grey add character while still feeling in keeping with a period property.
Can you repair my windows instead of replacing them?
Often, yes, and we will always be honest about it. If the frames are basically sound but the glass has misted up or a handle or lock has failed, a repair is usually cheaper and quicker than a full replacement. Just ask us to take a look first and we will tell you straight whether a repair will do the job or whether new windows are the better call.
