uPVC stands for unplasticized PVC which is a long-lasting and low-care material commonly used for window and door frames and doors. This material offers excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements, and can come in a selection of shapes and shades. This makes it a preferred choice for both homes and offices.

uPVC material is formed by heating and molding uPVC which is then cut into required shapes and assembled into window and door structures. These frames are then reinforced with metal or other metals to increase their strength and to help prevent any warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very necessary.
