UPVC is the abbreviated name for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. It starts as a plastic powder, which is heated to create a liquid to inject into a mould. The mould is a long strip, ideal for production UPVC windows. Once cooled, the UPVC is cut to form the base of the frame for a double or triple-glazed window. The “profile” is simply the type of window frame it is created for. Different types of windows have different profiles designed to provide structural support and solutions such as superior energy efficiency.

UPVC is highly energy-efficient, providing excellent thermal insulation that helps maintain comfortable indoor temperatures and reduce energy consumption. It also offers strong sound-insulation qualities, making it suitable for urban environments where outside noise is a concern. The material is resistant to UV exposure and designed for long-lasting performance.

One of the key advantages of UPVC is its low maintenance requirement. Unlike wooden frames that need regular painting and sealing, UPVC profiles generally need only periodic cleaning to maintain their appearance and functionality. This makes UPVC an attractive and cost-effective alternative to traditional materials.
