uPVC material stands for unplasticized PVC which is a durable and easy-to-maintain material widely used for window frames and door frames. This material offers excellent energy efficiency and weather resistance, and can come in a wide range of finishes and colors. This makes it a go-to choice for houses and workplaces.

uPVC is formed by heating and molding uPVC which is then cut into shapes and assembled into window and door structures. These frames are then reinforced with steel or other metals to enhance their durability and to help avoid warping. In climates that have prominent temperature changes this is very essential.
