uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) stands for unplasticized PVC which is a resilient and easy-care material widely used for window and door installations and door frames. This material offers energy efficiency and resistance to the elements, and can come in a selection of shapes and finishes. This makes it a popular choice for both homes and offices.

Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is formed by melting and shaping uPVC which is then shaped into pieces and assembled into door and window frames. These frames are then strengthened with steel or other metals to enhance their durability and to help avoid warping. In climates that have wide temperature changes this is very necessary. There are many advantages to uPVC window frames as the material is resistant to corrosion and damage and will stand strong against most environmental wear. It is a durable option for your residence. Due to its chemical makeup - it is a low-maintenance material and only needs regular cleaning with soap and water. It provides good insulating properties and helps to limit heat loss in your home which helps to keep energy bills down. uPVC is able to be made in a variety of colours and styles so is a flexible option which is also reasonably priced compared to timber.
