uPVC stands for unplasticized PVC which is a resilient and low-care material frequently used for doors and windows and door frames. This material offers thermal efficiency and weather protection, and can come in a wide range of finishes and colors. This makes it a popular choice for houses and workplaces.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by heating and molding uPVC which is then cut into required shapes and assembled into doors and window frames. These frames are then reinforced with steel or other metals to boost their strength and to help reduce the risk of warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very essential. There are many positives to uPVC door frames as the material is resistant to rot and damage and will resist most weather conditions. It is a enduring option for your residence. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a easy-to-maintain material and only needs occasional cleaning with soap and water. It provides good thermal insulation and helps to prevent heat loss in your home which helps to save on energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in multiple colours and styles so is a flexible option which is also reasonably priced compared to timber.
