uPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a long-lasting and easy-to-maintain material frequently used for window and door installations and doors. This material offers thermal efficiency and weather protection, and can come in a wide range of styles and colours. This makes it a preferred choice for houses and workplaces.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by heating and processing uPVC which is then molded and cut and assembled into door and window frames. These frames are then strengthened with steel or other metals to boost their strength and to help avoid warping. In climates that have extreme temperature changes this is very essential.
