uPVC windows and doors can instantly give any room a face-lift. Not only do they look great but provide insulation against noise, dust, rain, pollution and rising energy costs making them ideal for Indian living conditions. They are also easy to install and can be used to change the character of any room, extend it or bring in more light.

uPVC windows, or unplasticized PolyVinyl Chloride, to give the full name, have become very popular in recent years as an alternative to aluminium or wood windows because of their durability and the fact that they’re a very cost-effective option.

uPVC windows are made of vinyl polymer and this is bound to chlorine atoms so they’re not actually plastic and can work well with steel. This gives them great strength and versatility with extremely low maintenance costs which is a big plus for any homeowner. You can buy fixed windows, opening windows and sliding windows in a variety of colours.

Energy Efficiency

uPVC windows are extremely energy efficient. The windows have a very low thermal conductivity thanks to the materials used in manufacture. This means that heat can’t escape anywhere near as easily as with other materials. In general, they’re 30 percent more efficient than some other types of double pane windows such as aluminium.

Thermal Insulation

Since the thermal conductivity is very low, you could expect best results from your air-conditioners as the air loss is minimised in uPVC windows. This means your house remains cooler for a longer period and actually requires less energy to cool the room as good quality upvc windows and doors prevents air leakages. In turn, this will be reflected in your energy bills.

In addition, the welding used in the corners, along with the double-pane glass and the thermal barrier, means the windows increases soundproofing. This can virtually cut out noise from the outside completely which makes your home a more pleasant place to live, especially if your home is on a busy street.

Durability

uPVc windows are constructed to keep out rain and have been used many times in marine work where their quality is heavily tested. They are far more waterproof than other types of windows as they don’t absorb moisture. Although they are not fireproof, they are fire resistant and unlike wood windows, they can’t accidentally catch fire for any reason.

uPVC windows won’t corrode, rot or warp, meaning that they’re essentially maintenance-free. They don’t even need repainting during their lifetime. However, if you want to change the colour of the frames, you can paint them by choice. With strong steel fittings and 2 panes of glass, uPVC windows provide a strong deterrent to burglars.

Since they can be recycled and involve no wood products, uPVC windows are extremely eco-friendly as well as being energy efficient.
