uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized vinyl chloride which is a long-lasting and low-care material popular for window and door installations and door frames. This material offers insulating properties and weather protection, and can come in a selection of styles and shades. This makes it a preferred choice for houses and workplaces.

uPVC material is formed by melting and shaping uPVC which is then molded and cut and assembled into door and window frames. These frames are then reinforced with metal or other metals to increase their strength and to help avoid warping. In climates that have wide temperature changes this is very vital. There are many positives to uPVC window frames as the material is resistant to corrosion and rot and will resist most weather-related damage. It is a long-lasting option for your residence.
