uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized vinyl chloride which is a resilient and low-maintenance material popular for window frames and doors. This material offers insulating properties and weatherproofing, and can come in a variety of designs and shades. This makes it a favored choice for both homes and offices.

uPVC is formed by melting and shaping uPVC which is then cut into shapes and assembled into door and window frames. These frames are then reinforced with metal or other metals to make them sturdier and to help reduce the risk of warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very vital. There are many advantages to uPVC windows and doors as the material is resistant to decay and corrosion and will resist most weather-related damage. It is a enduring option for your property. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a easy-to-maintain material and only needs periodic cleaning with simple soap and water. It provides good thermal insulation and helps to minimize heat loss in your house 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 cost-effective compared to aluminium.
