uPVC stands for unplasticized vinyl chloride which is a resilient and easy-care material widely used for window and door frames and windows. This material offers insulating properties and weather resistance, and can come in a selection of shapes and colours. This makes it a go-to choice for residential and commercial properties.

uPVC is formed by heating and molding uPVC which is then cut into shapes and assembled into window and door structures. These frames are then strengthened with steel or other metals to increase their strength and to help prevent any warping. In climates that have prominent temperature changes this is very important. There are many positives to uPVC door frames as the material is non-corrosive and damage and will stand strong against most weather conditions. It is a long-lasting 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 prevent heat loss in your house which helps to lower energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in multiple colours and styles so is a flexible option which is also reasonably priced compared to aluminium.
