uPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl which is a resilient and low-care material widely used for window and door installations and windows. This material offers insulating properties and weatherproofing, and can come in a wide range of shapes and finishes. This makes it a favored choice for houses and workplaces.

uPVC material is formed by heating and processing uPVC which is then cut into shapes and assembled into doors and window frames. These frames are then strengthened with steel or other metals to make them sturdier and to help reduce the risk of warping. In climates that have prominent temperature changes this is very important. There are many benefits to uPVC frames and doors as the material is resistant to decay and corrosion and will withstand most weather-related damage. It is a long-term option for your property. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a low-maintenance material and only needs occasional maintenance with soap and water. It provides good insulating properties and helps to minimize heat loss in your residence which helps to reduce energy bills. uPVC is able to be made in multiple colours and styles so is a multi-functional option which is also affordable compared to timber.
