WHAT IS UPVC?

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.

WHY CHOOSE UPVC FOR YOUR WINDOWS?

What is good to know, is that UPVC is a cheaper alternative to expensive hardwood timber and aluminum. It is a popular material due to its durability and it being a cost-effective option. It can also be known as PVC and PVCU.

ARE UPVC WINDOWS ENERGY EFFICIENT?

If you’re looking for energy efficiency, UPVC is the perfect choice, as energy rated UPVC windows are extremely thermally efficient. They have a very low thermal conductivity as a result of the type of materials used in manufacturing. This stops heat escaping as easily as it can do with some other building materials.
