Doors and Windows have undergone a sea of changes in the modern buildings. Universally, architects and builders have acknowledged that uPVC Windows N Doors are of engineered quality and can be customized to any size. Their aesthetical good looks, their ease of installation and their undisputable long term benefits have convinced architects, builders and consumers alike. ENCRAFT uPVC frames can comfortable house bigger sheets of glass due to their inherent deeper glazing rebates which are a stringent requirement for combating India’s higher wind pressures.

uPVC Windows N Doors profiles give matchless support to a wide range of glass thickness. Available in varied range of contemporary styles and designs in white and natural wood finishes, ENCRAFT Systems render Strength, Beauty and Convenience to doors and windows of any size.

Following are the benefits of uPVC windows and doors Weather resistant

Built with precision of engineering, ENCRAFT’s product range when installed in accordance with known installation guidelines like BS 8213-4 will provide the perfect barrier against the elements. Rotting, splitting, warping or corroding, some of the problems associated with other frame materials, will not happen with uPVC. Even the heaviest exposure to Monsoons or floods leaves uPVC frames unaffected. The ingenious built-in frame drainage system ensures that any potential water ingress is efficiently eliminated.

Energy Efficient

Air-conditioning is the staple need of all the modern buildings of today. By an estimate, urban India consume four times the energy consumed by similar structures in developed countries; of which a major part is ascribed to the energy loss due to air leakage. In any building windows are huge ‘energy holes’ accounting for maximum cooling and heating losses.

The inherent material advantage of UPVC, of being a good insulator, is further enhanced by employing ENCRAFT’s sophisticated multi-chamber profile design which raises in combination with the effective double sealing system, the frame performance in terms of sound reduction and thermal insulation. By choosing an appropriate glass combination, potential energy savings are a welcomed, additional benefit.

Sound Resistant

uPVC Windows N Doors systems utilize a multi-chambered profile design with double seal technology that ensures inherent insulation against sound infiltration. Installed with appropriate glazing, sound reductions up to 40 dB (decibels) are possible thus providing excellent levels of soundproofing and assisting effectively in the desire to protect against noise pollution.

UV Resistant

uPVC Windows N Doors profiles using a special UPVC formulation to combat the generally high UV radiation which is typical for the Indian subcontinent. Controlling the process from start to finish; covering raw material selection, in-house material blending and extruding on advanced equipment ensures that every profile leave the factory with the same excellent material properties. Concern that UPVC may discolour over time is totally unfounded because of the excellent weathering data obtained from a continent with similar climatic zones, namely the United States of America which provided the invaluable back-up data to extensive accelerated weathering tests carried-out in laboratories all over the world. NOTE: uPVC has become the most researched material in modern history.

uPVC Windows N Doors systems have been engineered to allow the secure fitting of hinges, locking devices and handles thereby providing a level of security against intrusion and peace of mind. The system allows for fitting of the highest quality locking mechanisms available in the market today.

In fire, uPVC Windows N Doors systems are very difficult to ignite, if ignited and the source of flame is taken away, uPVC self-extinguishes. UPVC will only burn when subjected to an intense fire source:, it will not support combustion and will not spread the fire on its own. uPVC has one of the lowest surface spread of flame ratings of all materials. When uPVC is burning it releases hydrogen chloride, irritating the human nose and providing an EARLY WARNING OF FIRE, contrary to the most common fire gas, the odorless carbon monoxide, which is the major cause for fire deaths.

Wind Load

uPVC Windows N Doors can withstand storms with wind pressure of over 3000 Pascal’s which is equivalent to a speed of 245 km/hr. This benefit has been appreciated is being in modern architecture when frames are being required for installations in modern, earth quake proof tower blocks exceeding 10 storeys or more. Design flexibility is a hidden strength of UPVC systems.

uPVC Windows N Doors systems are a viable as well as superior option to Wood, Aluminium and Steel. Excellent insulation properties and genuine energy savings help to reduce the carbon footprint of the building. Being a substitute of wood, it helps environment by reducing deforestation. At one time uPVC products were criticized for their non-biodegradable properties. Today they are appreciated owing to their long life due to high resilience to weather and being a better option to wood. What’s more, it is 100% recyclable. Lead free formulations are used in ENCRAFT systems, thus increasing the environmental sustainability and are free from health and environmental hazards of lead poisoning.
