uPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a durable and low-care material commonly used for window and door installations and door frames. This material offers thermal efficiency and weather protection, and can come in a wide range of designs and colours. This makes it a preferred choice for homes and offices.

uPVC is formed by heating and processing uPVC which is then cut into 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 avoid warping. In climates that have extreme temperature changes this is very necessary. There are many positives to uPVC frames and doors as the material is resistant to corrosion and wear and will hold up against most weather-related damage. It is a long-lasting option for your house. Due to its composition - it is a low-care material and only needs regular cleaning with simple soap and water. It provides good insulating properties and helps to limit heat loss in your house which helps to reduce energy bills. uPVC is able to be made in multiple colours and styles so is a flexible option which is also budget-friendly compared to timber.
