uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized vinyl chloride which is a sturdy and low-care material widely used for window frames and door frames. This material offers thermal efficiency and weatherproofing, and can come in a selection of finishes and shades. This makes it a preferred choice for residential and commercial properties.

uPVC material is formed by melting and shaping uPVC which is then cut into required shapes and assembled into doors and window frames. These frames are then supported with metal or other metals to enhance their durability and to help reduce the risk of warping. In climates that have wide temperature changes this is very important. There are many benefits to uPVC frames and doors as the material is resistant to rot and damage and will hold up against most weather conditions. It is a durable option for your property. Due to its chemical composition - it is a easy-to-maintain material and only needs occasional maintenance with mild soap and water. It provides good heat retention and helps to reduce heat loss in your house which helps to reduce energy bills. uPVC is able to be made in various styles and colours so is a adaptable option which is also cost-effective compared to aluminium.
