uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a durable and easy-care material commonly used for window and door installations and door frames. This material offers thermal efficiency and weather protection, and can come in a selection of designs and shades. This makes it a favored choice for homes and offices.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by heating and processing uPVC which is then shaped into pieces and assembled into windows and doors. These frames are then reinforced with steel or other metals to increase their strength and to help prevent any warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very necessary. There are many advantages to uPVC windows and doors as the material is resistant to corrosion and damage and will hold up against most weather conditions. It is a enduring option for your property. Due to its composition - it is a low-care material and only needs occasional maintenance with water and soap. It provides good thermal insulation and helps to reduce heat loss in your property which helps to save on energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in different styles and colours so is a flexible option which is also reasonably priced compared to timber.
