This material offers thermal efficiency and resistance to the elements, and can come in a wide range of designs and finishes. This makes it a preferred choice for houses and workplaces.

uPVC 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 reinforced with steel or other metals to enhance their durability and to help reduce the risk of warping.
