uPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a resilient and easy-care material commonly used for window frames and door frames. This material offers excellent energy efficiency and weatherproofing, and can come in a selection of finishes and shades. This makes it a go-to choice for houses and workplaces.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by heating and processing uPVC which is then cut into required shapes and assembled into window and door structures. These frames are then strengthened with steel or other metals to make them sturdier and to help reduce the risk of warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very important. There are many benefits to uPVC window frames as the material is resistant to rot and wear and will withstand most weather conditions. It is a long-term option for your home. Due to its chemical composition - it is a low-care material and only needs periodic cleaning with soap and water. It provides good thermal insulation and helps to reduce heat loss in your residence which helps to keep energy bills down. uPVC is able to be made in various styles and colours so is a multi-functional option which is also cost-effective compared to wood.
