Our uPVC windows are factory finished in variety of colours and styles, locally produced in the Republic of Ireland, and are very cost effective solution without compromise of the quality of the product.

Our uPVC multiple chamber design significantly improves the thermal performance of the windows, reducing heat loss through the frames. When used with performance glass units the design, maximises the role of the glass and takes advantage of the contribution made by heat retention and solar gain.

While thermal performance of the windows and doors is important and always delivered to suit project requirements, our A-rated premium glazing specified as standard at DK Windows & Doors can achieve more than that.
