Matching new windows to Maidenhead’s housing
Maidenhead grew as a Thames-side market town and coaching stop, and the arrival of the Great Western Railway brought a run of red-brick Victorian building close to the centre and up towards Boyn Hill. Furze Platt to the north, Cox Green to the south-west and Woodlands Park beyond add inter-war semis and post-war family estates, while the town centre now has a growing stock of apartments. Each type of house asks something slightly different of a replacement window.
- Victorian and Edwardian terraces: flush casements give a crisp, joinery-like face. Where the originals were vertical sliders, read our uPVC sash windows page and ask us to confirm the options for your openings.
- 1930s semis: bay windows rebuilt with slim mullions, often with cottage-style glazing bars on the upper lights.
- 1960s to 1990s estate houses: white or grey casement windows, with tilt and turn windows where an inward-opening sash makes cleaning easier.
- Character details: shaped windows such as arched heads, which we can price once we have measured; ask us to confirm what the profile allows.
What sits inside a Selecta Advance 70 frame
The Selecta Advance 70 profile is 70mm deep with five internal chambers in the standard frame, and an 80mm traditional outer frame with eight chambers is available for period elevations. Selecta quotes a U-value of 1.1 W/m²K with a 28mm double glazed unit. A 40mm triple glazed unit improves heat retention and acoustics again.
Window energy ratings depend on the exact glass and frame combination. Selecta refers to A+ ratings, so ask us to confirm the figure for the specification you pick, and see our guide to energy-rated windows for how the labels are worked out. On security, Advance 70 casements are tested to PAS 24, the benchmark used by Building Regulations Approved Document Q for new homes.
Keeping the M4 and the main line outside
Junctions 8 and 9 of the M4 sit right on Maidenhead’s edge, the A404(M) runs north towards Marlow, and the Elizabeth line and Great Western trains pass through the middle of town. If traffic or rail noise reaches your bedroom, sound-reducing windows pair glass panes of different thickness, or laminated glass, so the unit damps a wider range of frequencies. Other glass options include obscure patterns for bathrooms, toughened safety glass in low panes and doors, and solar control glass on south-facing rooms.
Where frames in a historic building must stay, secondary glazing adds a discreet inner pane and helps with both draughts and noise.
Colours, from white to woodgrain
Selecta’s Colourfoil range runs to 18 finishes, applied to one face or both. Anthracite Grey, Slate Grey and Ulti-Matt Black are the most asked-for modern shades, while Golden Oak, Irish Oak and Rosewood give a woodgrain look. You can see more on our window colours page. We do not make timber windows or doors; woodgrain-foil uPVC is our timber-look choice.
Doors for every opening
Our uPVC doors come from the same family of profiles, so a back door or a pair of French doors will line up with the windows around them. Sliding patio doors suit a wider opening onto the garden. For the street side, look at our front doors or choose one of our composite doors, which give a solid, timber-look slab without the upkeep. If you want a stable door, ask us to confirm what can be made. We will talk through door security at survey, and if you would like a smart lock, ask us to confirm which suit your chosen door.
RBWM conservation areas and consent
Maidenhead is run by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. The council lists Maidenhead Riverside, Maidenhead Town Centre, Castle Hill, All Saints Boyn Hill, Altwood Road and Furze Platt Triangle as conservation areas, with Pinkneys Green close by. If your house is in one of these, is listed, or is a flat, check with RBWM before changing the look of your windows, including whether any Article 4 direction applies. Our note on planning permission for replacement windows sets out the usual cases.
Repair, replacement and budget
A misted sealed unit or a sagging hinge can sometimes be put right, and we will tell you plainly when a repair makes more sense. When it is time for new frames, our page on double glazing cost explains what drives the figure, and the full range is on our uPVC windows and doors page. If you are also weighing up aluminium, we are a listed Reynaers at Home partner, and our windows and doors in Maidenhead page covers that wider choice.
Bray, Holyport, Cookham and the rest of SL6
From Maidenhead we regularly head out to the riverside villages too. See our pages for Bray, Holyport and Cookham. If a garden room is also on your list, our uPVC conservatories in Maidenhead page covers styles, roofs and planning.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Maidenhead?
Usually not for a like-for-like swap on a house, because replacement windows are normally permitted development. The exceptions are listed buildings, flats, and homes where an Article 4 direction removes those rights, which can apply in conservation areas such as Castle Hill or Maidenhead Riverside. Check with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead before ordering if any of these apply.
How long does it take to get new uPVC windows fitted in Maidenhead?
Lead times begin at 10 days from your confirmed order, depending on size, colour and glass. Because our workshop in Fifield is only a short drive from Maidenhead, survey visits and fitting days are easy to arrange around your diary. Most houses are fitted in a day or two, and we confirm timings once the survey is complete.
Will triple glazing help with M4 noise?
It can, but the glass make-up matters more than the number of panes. Units with panes of different thickness, or laminated glass, tend to cut traffic hum better than a standard sealed unit. Advance 70 takes 40mm triple glazed units, which also lift thermal performance. We can talk through the options for rooms facing the motorway or the railway.
Can I have grey or black uPVC windows on a Victorian terrace?
Yes, colour is not normally controlled on an unlisted house outside a conservation area. Selecta offers Anthracite Grey, Slate Grey and Ulti-Matt Black among 18 foils, and you can have white inside with colour outside. If your street is in a Maidenhead conservation area, check with RBWM first, as an Article 4 direction may apply.
Do you offer composite front doors in Maidenhead?
Yes. We supply and fit composite doors alongside our uPVC front, back and French doors. A composite door gives a solid, timber-look finish with low maintenance, which suits many Maidenhead terraces and semis. We also fit uPVC sliding patio doors. Every installation comes with our 10-year guarantee, and we can match door colours to new windows.
