uPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a long-lasting and easy-care material commonly used for window and door installations and windows. This material offers thermal efficiency and weatherproofing, and can come in a variety of styles and finishes. This makes it a preferred choice for houses and workplaces.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by heating and processing uPVC which is then shaped into pieces and assembled into door and window frames. These frames are then reinforced with metal or other metals to boost their strength and to help minimize warping. In climates that have extreme temperature changes this is very important. There are many benefits to uPVC window frames as the material is resistant to decay and wear and will resist most weather damage. It is a long-lasting option for your residence. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a low-maintenance material and only needs regular cleaning with water and soap. It provides good insulating properties and helps to minimize heat loss in your home 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 budget-friendly compared to wood.
