Top 5 Plastic Building Products Every Installer Needs This Winter

Winter can be an extremely busy time for installers, with homeowners requesting repairs as well as wanting to winter proof their homes against the cold weather. As such, it is a good idea for installers to prepare themselves for this winter rush, particularly when it comes to the products they may need. As experts in uPVC building products, we've chosen our top 5 products that we believe every installer will need this winter:

• Durable guttering systems for heavy rainfall

  A home's guttering system is its first line of defence against rainfall, keeping water away from walls and foundations. Over time guttering can become damaged, particularly at this time of year, so many homeowners may be looking to replace worn guttering or upgrade to a larger capacity system to handle the wet weather of winter.

• Low maintenance fascias & soffits

  Soffits and fascias play both an aesthetic and practical role. They protect a home from the elements, dirt, and pests, whilst creating a beautiful roofline finish. Due to their location, many homeowners find cleaning and maintaining their soffits and fascias quite tricky and time consuming. This is where low maintenance uPVC products come into their own, as they will look lovely for many years to come with minimum maintenance.

• External cladding for weatherproofing homes

  As with soffits and fascias, cladding is both practical and stylish. It can protect your home against the winter weather and add an extra layer of insulation, whilst also creating an eye-catching design feature.

• Drainage solutions that perform in wet, freezing conditions

  The same as guttering, a home's drainage system helps to keep water away from walls and foundations. During the winter months these drainage systems must deal with high levels of water, so ensuring they perform correctly is imperative. Being able to offer your customers a high quality, durable drainage solution which can withstand the harsh winter conditions will help to give you an advantage over your competitors.

• uPVC windows/doors with fast turnaround for urgent jobs

  uPVC windows and doors are the perfect products for your customers this winter. They provide homeowners with protection against the elements, keeping their homes warm and improving energy efficiency. They also allow homeowners to add a sense of style to their homes, with uPVC doors and windows coming in a wide range of finishes and colours.
