uPVC is valued because of its longevity. It can serve you for between 40 and 80 years because this synthetic material is not prone to moisture damage and will not rust or rot. Mould and mildew do not grow on it as is often the case with wooden windows. That means they cannot damage it and reduce its longevity. The window frames do not suffer expansion problems like aluminium and do not warp, fade or crack even in very sunny places.

Specialty of 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. 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“.

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. The amazing strength, versatility and low maintenance comes from being manufactured using vinyl polymer which is bound to chlorine atoms so the window frames are not actually plastic and can work well with steel. This means that homeowners won’t have high ongoing costs.

Are uPVC windows energy efficient?Currently, all uPVC windows and doors must be energy rated to conform with the Building Regulations, and are available in choice of attractive colours and woodgrain timber effect finishes. 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.
