It is important to consider the whole life cost of buildings. Whole life cost refers to the project’s costs of running a building, repair and maintenance, refurbishment and disposal. These costs are often not considered when refurbishing an existing building or designing a new building. Value for money refers to the optimum combination of whole life cost and quality (or fit for purpose) to meet the users’ 
requirements. It does not necessarily mean choosing the lower cost option. PVC-U is a highly sustainable material with an accepted lifetime of at least 35 years. When eventually removed, PVC-U profiles are easily recycled.
