Windows are an essential component of any home. Apart from providing ventilation, they are also significant in making the house look more spacious and bringing in the natural light & air.

uPVC or PVCu – an abbreviation for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is a form of plastic that is also known as rigid PVC for its rigidness. It is a resistant form of PVC that is generally used for pipework and window frames.

With its popularity increasing these days, let’s look at the benefits of UPVC windows:

1. Low Cost

Requiring no painting or sealing, uPVC window frames significantly reduce the maintenance required in the long run. It can be quickly cleaned with water and detergent.

uPVC windows also do not require varnishing, sanding, or repainting. Even the dense stains can be removed by scrubbing with no damage to the material.

One of the major advantages of uPVC windows is that they are stronger and are durable due to the material used. And compared to timber, they are long-lasting and resilient and does not lose its shape.

uPVC frames never rot or corrode and are unaffected by salt and soil corrosion, which makes it perfect for coastal dwellers. With the material used, they last for years without peeling and drying out.

6. Thermal Comfort

Unlike metals, uPVC is non-conductive, which makes them perfect to use in windows so that they don’t transfer heat and the interior feels cooler. The combination of uPVC frames and double glassing result in creating a better cooling effect inside homes.

uPVC can be recycled up to 10 times and is generally seen as recycled at the end of life in Europe and other countries. Their rigidness and durability allow them to last for several decades.
