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.
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. The same material has almost entirely replaced the use of cast iron for plumbing and drainage, being used for waste pipes, drain pipes, guttering and downpipes. These products are often referred to collectively in the home improvement industry as “Roofline“.
