Arched Window Materials
The Quickslide range of arched windows are made from PVCu. The profile used in arched windows are no different to that used in the fabrication of other window types. The material is low maintenance, strong and offers the best in thermal efficiency. Arched windows were originally made of timber, but our PVCu makes for a fantastically authentic alternative.
Arched Window Designs
Arched window designs can be applied to casement and sliding sash profiles. The most typical arched window shape we see at Quickslide is a true arched sliding sash window, in which the top section has been beautifully curved. Other arched window shapes include gothic arches where the two sides have been moderately curved and meet at the head creating a pointy top.

Weatherproofing
Every window that we manufacture here in West Yorkshire will have undergone rigorous testing for optimum weatherproofing. Perimeter seals, waterproof materials and high quality window sills combine to provide long term resistance. Come even the harshest rain, snow or wind, your homeowners can have peace of mind.
Thermal Efficiency
Regardless of whether a casement or sliding sash system is arched, the complete window will provide excellent thermal retention. Insulating PVCu and double glazing trap the home’s heat inside, while weatherseals stop draughts and cold winds from seeping in. It’s the best of both worlds.
Security
High quality locking systems are the standard with all our arched windows. They help to ensure that homeowners can feel safe and secure within their home, both now and in the decades to come. We even offer a lock upgrade with our PVCu sliding sash windows, for enhanced protection that adheres to PAS 24 certifications.
Manufacturing Guarantee
Here at Quickslide, we rubberstamp our arched windows with a manufacturing guarantee of up to ten years. We offer this as testament to the quality of our West Yorkshire manufacturing service, but to also establish peace of mind with homeowners. Their investments are protected when you install our windows.
