uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized PVC which is a durable and low-maintenance material frequently used for window frames and doors. This material offers energy efficiency and resistance to the elements, and can come in a selection of styles and finishes. This makes it a go-to choice for residential and commercial properties.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by heating 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 minimize warping. In climates that have significant temperature changes this is very necessary. There are many benefits to uPVC windows and doors as the material is resistant to rot and wear and will hold up against most weather damage. It is a long-lasting option for your house. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a low-maintenance material and only needs occasional cleaning with simple soap and water. It provides good thermal insulation and helps to reduce heat loss in your home which helps to reduce energy bills. uPVC is able to be made in various styles and colours so is a multi-functional option which is also reasonably priced compared to aluminium.
