uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a long-lasting and low-maintenance material commonly used for doors and windows and door frames. This material offers excellent energy efficiency and weatherproofing, and can come in a selection of shapes and colors. This makes it a popular choice for both homes and offices.

uPVC is formed by heating and processing 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 make them sturdier and to help prevent any warping. In climates that have extreme temperature changes this is very important. There are many positives to uPVC windows and doors as the material is non-corrosive and corrosion and will stand strong against most weather-related damage. It is a long-term option for your property. Due to its natural properties - it is a low-maintenance material and only needs regular cleaning with water and soap. It provides good insulation and helps to limit heat loss in your residence which helps to lower energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in different styles and colours so is a adaptable option which is also affordable compared to timber.
