WHAT IS UPVC?


WHEN PURCHASING NEW OR REPLACEMENT DOORS AND WINDOWS, IT IS IMPORTANT YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION ON STYLE, FRAME AND MATERIAL. UPVC WINDOWS HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY POPULAR FOR HOMEOWNERS THANKS TO ITS MANY BENEFITS.

Quality


UPVC, which stands for Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride, is a low-maintenance building material used as a substitute for painted wood, mostly for window frames and sills when installing double glazing in new buildings, or to replace older single glazed windows. UPVC is lightweight, strong and low maintenance making it a popular choice for homeowners. It has many other uses beyond windows including fascia, and siding or weatherboarding.


 

Benefits of uPVC

Energy efficiency

uPVC windows and doors are frequently hailed as the high performance option. Their insulation properties mean that your home or office will work to retain heat in the winter, and cool air in the summer. So not only will you save money on your energy bills, you’ll also reduce your carbon footprint.

Comfort

With uPVC windows and doors, you’ll be guaranteed higher levels of comfort throughout the year. Their quality insulation and draft proofing mean that you’ll be kept at the perfect temperature, no matter what the season.

Fire safety

Unlike their wooden counterparts, uPVC windows are difficult to ignite, and therefore ensure improved standards of fire safety in your property.

Reduced Condensation

Due to uPVC windows’ superior insulation properties, you’ll be able to keep your windowpanes at a warmer temperature. This is good news for your home, as it will prevent water vapor from settling, and going on to cause other household problems such as damp.

Lower cost

Whilst offering myriad benefits, uPVC windows are in fact an inexpensive option when compared to aluminium and wooden frames.

Reduced noise pollution

As with all quality glazing, uPVC windows will allow you to keep unwanted outdoor noise out of earshot.


Durability

Where wooden frames can rot and warp due to inclement weather, uPVC provides a much more durable option.


Security

While aluminum window frames offer the highest levels of property security, uPVC frames certainly aren’t far behind. Each time you leave your home, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that your windows are providing a high level of protection.


Aesthetics

When you choose uPVC frames, you won’t have to compromise their appearance. Available in a range of colors and finishes, you’re sure to find the perfect match for your home.

Low maintenance

Wooden door and window frames require regular maintenance every five years, including repainting and varnishing. In contrast, uPVC offer a low-maintenance solution, requiring only occasional cleaning. This allows you to focus your time and energy on more engaging tasks.



Quality in the batch blending process is essential for the production of UPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride) windows and doors. This process involves combining raw materials and specific additives in precise proportions to achieve a homogeneous material, ensuring consistent mechanical and aesthetic properties of the final product. Well-controlled blending guarantees better weather resistance, optimal thermal and acoustic insulation, and increased durability of UPVC windows and doors. By integrating rigorous quality control procedures at each stage of the batch blending process, manufacturers can not only meet industry standards but also fulfill the growing consumer expectations for performance and longevity of the products.
