uPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a resilient and easy-care material popular for window frames and doors. This material offers insulating properties and weather resistance, and can come in a selection of shapes and colors. This makes it a go-to choice for residential and commercial properties.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by heating and shaping uPVC which is then molded and cut and assembled into doors and window frames. These frames are then supported with metal or other metals to increase their strength and to help avoid warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very necessary. There are many reasons to uPVC windows and doors as the material is resistant to decay and damage and will resist most weather conditions. It is a long-term option for your property. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a low-maintenance material and only needs regular cleaning with water and soap. It provides good heat retention and helps to prevent heat loss in your residence which helps to keep energy bills down. uPVC is able to be made in different styles and colours so is a flexible option which is also reasonably priced compared to aluminium.
