uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride which is a long-lasting and easy-to-maintain material widely used for window and door installations and doors. This material offers insulating properties and resistance to the elements, and can come in a wide range of designs and colours. This makes it a favored choice for homes and offices.

uPVC is formed by melting and shaping 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 increase their strength and to help prevent any warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very necessary. There are many advantages to uPVC frames and doors as the material is resistant to decay and rot and will resist most weather damage. It is a long-term option for your residence. Due to its natural properties - it is a easy-to-maintain material and only needs regular cleaning with water and soap. It provides good thermal insulation and helps to prevent heat loss in your home which helps to lower energy costs. uPVC is able to be made in different styles and colours so is a multi-functional option which is also budget-friendly compared to wood.
