uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized vinyl chloride which is a sturdy and easy-to-maintain material widely used for doors and windows and door frames. This material offers excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements, and can come in a variety of designs and colours. This makes it a preferred choice for both homes and offices.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by melting and shaping uPVC which is then cut into shapes and assembled into door and window frames. These frames are then reinforced with metal or other metals to increase their strength and to help reduce the risk of warping. In climates that have wide temperature changes this is very necessary. There are many benefits to uPVC windows and doors as the material is resistant to corrosion and wear and will resist most weather conditions. It is a durable option for your house. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a easy-to-maintain material and only needs periodic cleaning with soap and water. It provides good insulation and helps to reduce heat loss in your property which helps to save on energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in different styles and colours so is a versatile option which is also reasonably priced compared to other materials.
