uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized vinyl chloride which is a durable and low-care material frequently used for doors and windows and door frames. This material offers insulating properties and resistance to the elements, and can come in a selection of shapes and finishes. This makes it a go-to choice for both homes and offices.

uPVC material is formed by heating and shaping uPVC which is then molded and cut and assembled into doors and window frames. These frames are then reinforced with metal or other metals to increase their strength and to help prevent any warping. In climates that have wide temperature changes this is very important. There are many positives to uPVC door frames as the material is non-corrosive and corrosion and will resist most environmental wear. It is a long-term option for your home. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a low-care material and only needs occasional cleaning with simple soap and water. It provides good insulating properties and helps to minimize heat loss in your home which helps to lower energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in multiple colours and styles so is a adaptable option which is also budget-friendly compared to aluminium.
