uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized polyvinyl which is a resilient and low-maintenance material frequently used for doors and windows and door frames. This material offers energy efficiency and resistance to the elements, and can come in a selection of shapes and colors. This makes it a go-to choice for homes and offices.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by melting and shaping uPVC which is then cut into shapes and assembled into window and door structures. These frames are then strengthened with steel or other metals to increase their strength and to help reduce the risk of warping. In climates that have prominent temperature changes this is very vital. There are many advantages to uPVC frames and doors as the material is non-corrosive and damage and will withstand most environmental wear. It is a enduring option for your house. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a easy-to-maintain material and only needs occasional maintenance with soap and water. It provides good heat retention and helps to limit heat loss in your property which helps to lower energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in various styles and colours so is a versatile option which is also reasonably priced compared to wood.
