ENCRAFT uPVC door & window systems are at the forefront of the Indian fenestration market. Largely the credit goes to continuous innovation in product design and 50 years of plastic processing know how and manufacturing. Engineered with precision and masterpieces of art, ENCRAFT systems offer a lifetime of style, strength and security.

At ENCRAFT, we understand that energy efficient windows and doors are more important than ever to homeowners. That’s why we are continuously looking for ways to make our windows and doors as thermally efficient as possible. From the materials we use and the glass packages we offer to our of best quality and are certified energy efficient products, we have got you covered when it comes to energy efficiency. Let’s take a look at what ENCRAFT does to make our windows energy efficient.

Premium UPVC Windows and Doors

The premium vinyl/PVC used in our windows and doors are an excellent insulator and offers low conductivity. Its thermal properties are far superior to aluminum, steel and stainless steel. This means there is very low temperature transfer into or out of your home, helping keep you comfortable all year long. It also translates in to lower utility bills.

Energy Efficiency

An energy-efficient window is one that helps to minimise the use of artificial heating and cooling in a building. In many parts of the country, the priority is to keep solar heat out of the home, except during colder months, when ‘free’ solar heat gain and retention of warmth in the house become important.

Heat gain or heat loss take three forms: radiant heat transfer, conductive heat transfer and heat transfer via air infiltration. Ideally, this calls for strong solar protection on east and west windows, but deliberate use of free sunlight (via clear glass) from northerly windows. This means different window solutions for different orientations.

ENCRAFT windows that are designed for thermal performance can insulate your building while keeping energy costs low. The excellent thermal properties of ENCRAFT windows make energy savings attainable. The specially designed insulating air spaces in uPVC window frames – combined with their low conductivity – make them a formidable barrier to heat transfer. But their environmental performance in other areas also is impressive. Let us take a look at ENCRAFT uPVC window attributes and their relationship to environmental performance.

Designed to conserve energy UPVC window frames and sash corners are fusion welded for maximum strength and protection against air and water infiltration. Tests using the common measure of insulating ability, the U-factor, have shown that ENCRAFT uPVC windows regularly outperform competitive products because of the excellent thermal performance of the frame (shown in table below).

Warm air stays inside during the winter and cool air stays inside during the summer. Energy is conserved and money is saved when the furnace and air conditioner don’t have to work so hard to maintain the desired temperature.

Winning combination: high durability, low maintenance ENCRAFT UPVC windows are impervious to rot, rust, corrosion, blistering, flaking and infestation by termites or other insects. UPVC resists attacks by fungus and mildew, and scratching a uPVC window will not require any touch-up. Even better, a heavy rain or simply washing with water and a mild soap is all it takes to keep ENCRAFT uPVC windows clean. .

ENCRAFT uPVC profiles can be reprocessed and recycled repeatedly. Scrap is routinely recycled directly back into uPVC products, making it a resource-efficient operation. In fact, 99 percent of the uPVC used by processors goes into a finished product.
