uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized polyvinyl which is a sturdy and easy-to-maintain material popular for window and door frames and doors. This material offers thermal efficiency and resistance to the elements, and can come in a assortment of styles and colors. This makes it a preferred choice for both homes and offices.

uPVC is formed by heating and molding uPVC which is then cut into required shapes and assembled into door and window frames. These frames are then reinforced with metal or other metals to boost their strength and to help avoid warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very important. There are many positives to uPVC door frames as the material is resistant to corrosion and wear and will resist most environmental wear. It is a long-term option for your home. Due to its natural properties - it is a low-care material and only needs regular cleaning with water and soap.
