Since we are now offering UPVC windows to our customers, we would like to provide you with a sneak peek into the production and installation process of our windows. UPVC is an abbreviation of unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, which is a very versatile and sturdy material. Hence, it is used for a wide array of products such as windows, doors and even plumbing materials. This material was first used in Germany during the s, as an upgrade to the previously used polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Due to the fact that UPVC is not plasticized, it is a much more stable and resilient material.
UPVC windows and doors have many benefits, such as:
&#; The material is extremely lightweight, yet sturdy and durable
&#; UPVC will never change its shape or warp due to different weather conditions
&#; The material will never rot either, as opposed to wooden windows
&#; UPVC is well-known for its high insulation and thermal efficiency
&#; Windows made from UPVC are very easy to maintain and clean
&#; Old UPVC products can easily be recycled into new products and materials, making it an environmentally friendly choice
How are UPVC windows produced?
The production process for UPVC windows is pretty straightforward and consists of several steps. In essence, molten UPVC is put in a mould and cooled, in order to attain the desired shape.
To create UPVC, there are some raw materials used, such as titanium dioxide (TiO2) and calcium carbonate (CaCO3). These materials make the extruded profiles strong, durable and also resistant to UV rays. There is also the option of using lead-free materials, for a more environmentally friendly approach.
Once the resin compound is finished, the profiles for the windows are made by following an extrusion procedure. In order to achieve this, the profiles need to be heated up to 200-275 degrees Celsius so they can be extruded and designed. The heated mixture is then poured into the previously mentioned mould, which will give the window profiles their shape whilst the mixture is being stretched and pulled. After this part, the new profiles are cooled by putting them in a water bath. Then, the extruded profiles are cut to fit the desired specifications. If necessary, any individual pieces are also melded together. In the case of windows, the last step consists of sealing the material and fitting the profiles with glass. If UPVC window profiles are enforced, this will be executed by using galvanized steel reinforcements.
Replacing windows in a building: how is this achieved?
We can remove your current windows in any building; from residential buildings to office spaces and commercial buildings. UPVC is an excellent choice if you want to choose a high-quality product for a friendly quote. We always follow a standard procedure, that consists of three separate steps, which are as follows:
1. The removal of all old frames and glass
2. The installation of your desired new window frames
3. The installation of sealed glass in the profiles
We will outline these steps in more detail below.
1. The removal of all old frames and glass
Once you decide to have new windows installed, we will walk you through the entire process. You will need to choose what kind of window frames you would like for your building, in this case this will be UPVC. We will then visit you, in order to take all measurements of your current windows. Once we know the exact measurements, we can start the production of the new UPVC windows. We will then firstly remove all your current window profiles and glass, so the new windows can be installed in the same space. Please note, that you can choose to install windows of exactly the same shape and size, but it is also possible to install completely new windows. This will entail a bit more work, since we might have to break open parts of your walls for the new windows to fit. In such cases, we will not only remove the current windows, but also other materials.
2. The installation of your desired new window frames
Once there is room to install the new windows, we start by placing the UPVC frames into the space created for installation. This is always carried out by our professional team of experts, providing you with a guarantee of solid and correct installation. We follow all necessary procedures, so you can rest assured that the windows will provide you with the promised insulation and quality.
3. The installation of sealed glass in the profiles
Once the window profiles are in place, we install the sealed glass within the profile. This step needs to be done very precisely, in order to guarantee a 100% seamless fit. This, in turn, will guarantee the degree of insulation you chose for your windows. Once the glass is installed, your windows are ready for use! UPVC windows can last for decades, without any large maintenance.

uPVC is a versatile polymer and is based on polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It is used as an alternative to wood and aluminium in the building industry and to install window profiles in a home or commercial building. The best uPVC profiles have versatility and are produced in captivating textures to match the needs of the consumers.
uPVC profiles are made lead-free and are manufactured by using galvanised technology. The best uPVC profiles guarantee durability, cost-effectiveness, high operating pressure point, good fire endurance, and long lasting life because of how sound their built is.

These profiles are fabricated and used by many industries for the following reasons:
Noise Redundant:
Buildings require proper insulation to prevent external noise travel inside. Effective sound insulation can&#;t solely be dependent on sealing the windows during the installation process. Therefore, the profiles should be designed in a way that reduces the amount of noise coming through.
The best uPVC profiles are designed with a double seal system that reduces noise by a large decibel.
For the best soundproofing results, it is important to take a holistic approach as there can be wall vents and leaky doors as well that can add to the noise penetration.
Fire Retardant:
Thanks to their high-temperature endurance, the best uPVC profiles are proven to be the best retardants of fire and can&#;t melt off easily. Where a fire can swallow up any wood within nanoseconds of its start, uPVC profiles act as a great fire retardant.
Environmental friendly:
uPVC profiles are reusable, low maintenance, and almost never need constant attention for touch-ups here and there. They do not weather and are easy to install and remove.
Installation of the best uPVC profiles will help you keep your home warm on a chilly night too.
Termite proof:
It&#;s important that a building where you are living in safeguards you from all sides. Breaking in of insects can not only create a mess but can affect the health of the people residing inside. uPVC profiles are the best option for termites because they cannot enter inside but on the other hand, they can easily destroy the wooden Windows and wooden subframes made out of aluminium in tropical climates.
uPVC Price List:
The uPVC profile price depends solely on the choices/customization a customer makes. Factors such as :
If the uPVC profiles ordered are wide, sturdy, and with more partitions, the uPVC profile price would be higher as compared to narrower uPVC profiles that provide average sound and heat insulation or other moderate customization.
