REHAU profiles
High insulation, no maintenance, the price written down before you sign. Free site visit between the Teramo coast and the Piceno area.
The moment you notice
In the morning there is condensation on the frame, and under the glass the water has already left its mark.
The heating stays on longer but the warmth near the window never arrives.
You close everything and you can still hear the road, the wind, the neighbours.
uPVC exists for exactly this. It is the material that insulates most for the money, asks for no maintenance and, on the coast, has no fear of salt air.
Why uPVC
uPVC is the most common choice in houses around here, and not as a fashion: for the same budget it is the material that gives most back.
01
The profile is hollow and divided into chambers: each chamber is still air, and still air is the best insulator there is. The heat stays in during winter and out during summer.
Multi-chamber REHAU profiles with low-emissivity double glazing
02
The colour is in the body of the material, not brushed on top. Nothing to sand down, nothing to repaint every few years the way you do with wood.
Cleaned with water and mild soap
03
Here the salt gets everywhere. uPVC is not a metal, so it does not oxidise and does not stain: that is why we fit so much of it in Martinsicuro.
Corrosion-treated hardware
The differences that matter
When you compare two quotes, look at three lines. The number of chambers in the profile: more chambers, more insulation. The internal steel reinforcement: without it, over time the sash distorts and the window no longer closes. The glazing: double or triple, low-emissivity, and if you are on a busy road, acoustic laminated too.
These are the three items that make the difference between a window that lasts thirty years and one that needs adjusting constantly after five. On our quote you will find them named, not hidden behind the word 'windows'.
The installation
The best profile in the world, put in crooked, whistles and gets condensation. With us, whoever takes the measurements is whoever installs, and at the end we try every sash together before we leave.
Prices
It is the first thing you want to know and almost nobody out there puts it in writing. We tell you straight away, then the exact number comes after the site visit.
Two-sash window 120x140, white uPVC, low-emissivity double glazing, fitting included
480 - 780 € per window
Indicative price excluding Italian VAT, before the tax deduction.
What moves the price
After the site visit the price written on the quote does not change. No cost that appears once work has started.
Finishes
uPVC can be foiled on one side or on both. Wood effect outside and white inside is the combination we choose most often.
How we work
We measure every opening ourselves, one by one. Wrong measurements are the number one reason a window closes badly.
Profile, glass, hardware and fitting, every item with its own price. We go through it line by line with you.
We prepare everything to measure and we fit it ourselves. We cover the furniture, clean up and take the old windows away.
We try every sash together. If an adjustment is needed over time, we come back.
Tax deduction
Replacing windows is one of the deductible works in Italy. The money comes back in ten equal yearly instalments, and we prepare the ENEA filing.
Rates and ceilings change every year with the Italian budget law and differ between a main and a second home. The dedicated page has the current figures.
Our work
Private houses, flats and renovations between the coast and the Val Vibrata.

Verified review on GoogleWhy choose us
Our own fitters, not an outside crew. Whoever takes the measurements is whoever installs, so if something does not add up they notice straight away.
We come back and adjust it. Our premises have been in Martinsicuro since 1990, we do not disappear once the invoice is paid.
No. After the site visit the quote is the quote. If extra work is needed we find it beforehand, not halfway through the job.
Yes, at Via dell'Industria 10. Holding a cut section of profile clears things up better than ten catalogues.
For an ordinary flat you are looking at one or two days of fitting. We cover everything up and clean at the end.
Yes: shutters, roller shutters, insect screens, security doors, awnings. One person to deal with for everything that closes your home.
Frequent questions
These are the questions that come up most often, on the phone and on Google.
It depends what you need. uPVC insulates more for the same price and is the right choice if the aim is the heating bill and comfort. Aluminium has far slimmer profiles, so more light comes in and it carries large glazing that uPVC cannot hold.
In practice: a flat or an ordinary house, uPVC. Large sliding doors, wide spans or a project where the design matters, thermal-break aluminium. At the site visit we look at your openings and tell you which makes sense, without pushing you towards the more expensive one.
On the coast uPVC has a practical advantage: it is not a metal, so salt air does not attack it. Modern aluminium is anodised and powder coated and holds up well, but it wants more regular cleaning, especially on the hardware.
If the house is a few hundred metres from the beach, as so many are here between Villa Rosa and Alba Adriatica, uPVC is the choice that gives you fewest worries over time.
Roughly between 320 and 520 euros per square metre with fitting included. The range is wide because it covers very different things: the number of chambers in the profile, the type of glass, the colour, the opening type and the state of the existing opening.
Be wary of anyone who gives you a price per square metre over the phone without having seen anything: either it is a bait price, or it will go up later.
A good-quality uPVC window, properly fitted, works away happily for 30 years and more. The parts that wear out first are the gaskets and the hardware, and both are replaced without touching the frame.
What really shortens a window's life is not the material, it is a badly done installation.
In favour: high thermal and acoustic insulation, no maintenance, an excellent ratio of price to performance, it does not corrode.
Against: the profiles are thicker than aluminium, so the glazed area is a little smaller; on very large glazing it does not carry the load the way metal does; the choice of colours is wide but less free than on coated aluminium.
Good-quality profiles do not. The uPVC used today is UV stabilised and keeps its colour. The yellowing problem concerned the cheap profiles of twenty years ago, and it still concerns the bottom of the range today.
It is one of the reasons we state the brand of the profile on the quote: so you know what you are buying.
Warm water and mild soap, with a soft cloth. Nothing else. Avoid solvents, alcohol, acetone and abrasive pads, which dull the surface.
A couple of times a year it is worth putting some lubricant on the hardware and clearing the drainage holes at the bottom of the frame, where dust settles.
The thermal break is an insert of insulating material that separates the inner part of the aluminium from the outer one, to interrupt the thermal bridge. It is needed precisely because metal on its own conducts the cold.
uPVC does not have this problem, because it is an insulator in itself. A good thermal-break aluminium gets close to uPVC performance, but it usually costs more.
In most cases yes. If the existing subframe is sound, the new window can be fitted over the old one, with no building work. You lose a few centimetres of daylight but you avoid dust and making good.
If the old frame is rotten or out of square, it is better to remove it. We work that out at the site visit and tell you beforehand, because it changes the price.
