uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized vinyl chloride which is a resilient and easy-care material popular for window and door installations and windows. This material offers excellent energy efficiency and weather protection, and can come in a assortment of designs and colours. This makes it a favored choice for both homes and offices.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by melting and shaping uPVC which is then cut into required shapes and assembled into doors and window frames. These frames are then strengthened with steel or other metals to enhance their durability and to help prevent any warping. In climates that have extreme temperature changes this is very vital.
