uPVC Windows
uPVC Windows for Warmth, Security & Style
Our most popular window range, ideal for both modern and traditional properties across East Anglia. These A+ rated windows deliver top-tier insulation, multi-point locking systems, and are virtually maintenance-free. Available in casement, tilt-and-turn, and bay styles, with dozens of finishes including white, anthracite grey, and realistic woodgrains.
FLUSH WINDOWS
Flush Windows: Heritage Looks with Modern Performance
Flush casement windows offer a flat external profile that mimics traditional timber joinery—perfect for character homes and conservation areas. Built from durable uPVC, they come in woodgrain foils and offer high insulation, excellent security, and a seamless finish inside and out.
ALUMINIUM WINDOWS
Aluminium Windows: Slim Frames & Unobstructed Views
Aluminium frames are the go-to for contemporary homes and large glazed areas. Our minimalist aluminium windows maximise glass area while maintaining strong security and energy performance.

Frequently Asked Questions — Windows in Cambridge
How long does it take to install new windows?
A typical full-house window replacement in Cambridge takes 1–3 days depending on the number of windows and property access. Most individual windows are fitted in under an hour each, and we agree the schedule with you in advance. Our team always leaves the site clean, tidy and fully weather-tight before we finish.
Do I need planning permission for replacement windows?
For most homes in Cambridge, replacement windows fall under permitted development and don’t require planning permission. Exceptions apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, and some new-builds with restrictive covenants — we’ll check this for you at survey. Every installation is FENSA-registered, so we self-certify Building Regulations compliance on your behalf.
What’s the most energy-efficient window option?
Our A+ rated uPVC windows with argon-filled double glazing and warm-edge spacers deliver excellent thermal performance for the majority of Cambridge homes. For maximum efficiency — particularly on north-facing elevations or older college-style properties — we also offer triple-glazed options. Every window we install comfortably exceeds current Building Regulations for U-values.
Can I match my old timber windows with uPVC?
Yes — our Envisage Flush range replicates the look of traditional timber flush casements with modern uPVC performance. It’s available in authentic woodgrain finishes including Mahogany, Rosewood, Golden Oak and Irish Oak, making it ideal for period properties, cottages and conservation areas across Cambridgeshire.
What guarantee do you offer on new windows?
Every window installed by Amber Home Improvements is covered by our 20-year guarantee on frames, sealed units and hardware. We’re FENSA registered and members of the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF), giving you full consumer protection and workmanship cover.
