Cream UPVC windows, looking for company around Oxfordshire that does them

I have cream wooden windows, that are lovely to look at but draughty. They are double glazed but almost 20 years old and the air gap between the panes is only a few mils apart. They don't seem to keep any noise out either, sounds like my windows are open when they are shut.
I would like to replace them but with cream UPVC. I have googled and there is a company up in Cheshire called crystal, they can do all colours and I like this one http://www.crystal-windows.co.uk/colours-cat.html
I live South though Oxfordshire, I don't really know where to begin! Does anyone know a reputable company that does the cream, or any views on cream if you have them already or have seen them.
Many thanks

Hello Bootman
I've just come accross your posting following my own Google search for cream UPVC windows. I realise it was a while ago but were you sucessful in finding an installer and could you recommend them?
I'm in Banbury and am hunting for exactly the same thing.
Thanks

Contact REHAU who are one of the main manufactures of the uPVC section.

Just buy some windows made from recycled plastic, they will yellow over time.
Coloured upvc in cream will not look the same as a painted wooden window. I'd get a sample first.0 -
I investigated this when deciding what to do with my single glazed windows. I was told that coloured UPVC was done through a film which looks good initially but is liable to peel off over time. You can get aluminium frames which are spray painted like a car, so look much more sympathetic (I was surprised) but are twice the price of UPVC.0
