PVC Windows

With DAKO plastic windows, you can opt for inward, outward or sash openings. Outward opening windows are ideal for smaller rooms - they do not take up any internal space when they are open. However, outward opening windows cannot be used if they restrict a pavement or other public passageways. Another option is tilt-and-turn windows with a scissor hinge. This style offers several opening positions in one.

The glass used can make a considerable difference to the finished result. DAKO glass is toughened or laminate for security and safety. As well as transparent glazing, opaque or semi-transparent finishes can be added to the uPVC windows chosen.

• DAKO manufactures windows with double and triple glazing, and a choice of glass thickness. Select 4mm or 6mm glass - the thicker glass provides additional soundproofing and strength, and the thinner glass is lighter in weight.
• DAKO glass has exceptional qualities. Choose a glazing option that allows 10% more natural light to filter in, or opt for glass coated with sun protection to reduce the UV levels. If solar thermal is a priority, glass that absorbs warmth from the sun is also offered.
• Add the latest technology with Privalit glazing. This innovative glass becomes opaque at the flick of a switch - electronically providing privacy from the outside world. DAKO offer this upgrade - get in touch for more details.

Window colour is a personal choice. Some prefer traditional wood-look finishes, from light oak to dark mahogany, and others want bright, standout shades like cherry red and emerald green. DAKO uPVC windows can be created in a variety of colours to suit the homeowner's preference.

• Bi-colour windows are manufactured with a colour on the outside, and traditional white on the inside. White interior frames creates more light inside; this is ideal for darker rooms that receive less natural light. White also provides a fresh, clean appearance that suits kitchens and bathrooms especially.

The best PVC windows manufacturers in Ireland offer a choice of decorative finishes to match property styles and ages.

Decorative bars, strips, grills or dividers in window design can be added to give the appearance of small panes of glass. These details create a cottage or period look. There are two ways of achieving this design:

Interior muntins are horizontal and vertical bars fitted in between the window glazing. When it comes to cleaning the windows, there are no protruding features to work around, the glass surface is flat.

Exterior muntins are stuck to the outside of the glazing, giving the illusion of small window frames. Exterior mulins offer a more authentic look than the interior version. They might be required as part of listed-building stipulations.

Window handles are fitted to the inside, and come in a selection of colours, such as white, gold and silver. They include locks when required for added security.

Customer safety is at the heart of every product produced at DAKO. The components for each uPVC window are robust and carefully checked for quality. Solid construction ensures the frames, glazing and locks are burglar-resistant, and fall-safe.

With the tilt-and-turn collection, the fittings are ‘tilt first’ to reduce the risks of accidental falls. The first turn of the handle only tilts the window, it takes a second turn to open it and a key to fully open it wide.

The hinges are hidden and impossible to remove from the outside, deterring intruders. Restricted ventilation opening allows fresh air in through a small gap that can be locked in position.

DAKO is leading the way amongst window manufacturers in the UK. The quality, functionality and competitive pricing of the PVC windows cannot be beaten.
