uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized polyvinyl which is a long-lasting and easy-care material commonly used for window and door frames and doors. This material offers thermal efficiency and weatherproofing, and can come in a variety of designs and colours. This makes it a go-to choice for residential and commercial properties.

uPVC material is formed by heating and processing uPVC which is then cut into shapes and assembled into windows and doors. 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 extreme temperature changes this is very important. There are many positives to uPVC frames and doors as the material is resistant to corrosion and wear and will resist most environmental wear. It is a enduring option for your home. Due to its composition - it is a easy-care material and only needs occasional cleaning with mild soap and water. It provides good insulation and helps to reduce heat loss in your home which helps to save on energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in multiple colours and styles so is a versatile option which is also reasonably priced compared to aluminium.
