UPVC Windows and Doors
Overview
UPVC is based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC), one of the most versatile polymers found in the century. PVC today finds application in almost all facet of our life, from daily use to highly sophisticated life-saving applications. This flexibility of PVC is leveraged through a unique formulation to prepare a special UPVC blend for windows and doors. UPVC (where ‘U’ stands for unplasticized) is one of the most preferred windows framing material across the world. The material comes in a range of color, is low maintenance and offers benefits which no material so far has matched.
Benefits of UPVC Windows
UPVC windows and doors offer many of the performance characteristics which no other material so far has achieved.
Types of Windows
A window is defined as an opening in the wall above the floor level, whose traditional function is to provide natural light, ventilation, and vision. With advancements in technology, the role of a window has broadened to include insulation against outside noise, protection from storms, prevent rainwater seepage and reduce rising energy costs. It also breaks the monotony of the walls and adds to the overall aesthetics of your home. Windows come in various shapes and styles, and the right kind of window can change the look of your room, home or office. Choosing the right type of window for a particular location can be quite intimidating given the different styles, features, and materials available in the market today.
