uPVC material stands for unplasticized polyvinyl which is a durable and low-care material widely used for window and door installations and door frames. This material offers insulating properties and resistance to the elements, and can come in a wide range of styles and colours. This makes it a popular choice for residential and commercial properties.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by heating and molding uPVC which is then cut into shapes and assembled into doors and window frames. These frames are then reinforced with metal or other metals to increase their strength and to help minimize warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very necessary. There are many advantages to uPVC windows and doors as the material is resistant to corrosion and wear and will resist most weather conditions. It is a long-term option for your residence. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a easy-to-maintain material and only needs occasional cleaning with simple soap and water. It provides good heat retention and helps to limit 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 versatile option which is also affordable compared to aluminium.
