uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a long-lasting and easy-care material commonly used for window frames and doors. This material offers excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements, and can come in a selection of shapes and colors. This makes it a preferred choice for both homes and offices.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride 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 increase their strength and to help prevent any warping. In climates that have extreme temperature changes this is very important. There are many advantages to uPVC windows and doors as the material is non-corrosive and damage and will withstand most environmental wear. It is a long-term option for your property. Due to its natural properties - it is a easy-to-maintain material and only needs occasional maintenance with simple soap and water. It provides good thermal insulation and helps to reduce heat loss in your house which helps to lower energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in various styles and colours so is a flexible option which is also affordable compared to other materials.
