What Are uPVC Doors?
uPVC Doors are nothing new, they’ve been around since the 80s or so…or so you would think! Like any form of technology, it is continually advancing and improving. This industry and these doors are no different.
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a thermoplastic known for its recyclability, as it can be remelted and reused multiple times. The ‘u’ refers to unplasticised, which indicates that the plastic was not softened during the manufacturing process. This helps it retain its strength.
Unlike other thermoplastics that are completely derived from oil, PVC is composed of 57% salt. This unique composition imparts distinct technical properties to the product, allowing it to offer exceptional value when used for external doors.
The terms uPVC and PVCu are used indiscriminately in the industry, but these terms refer to the same material. It is used in a wide array of home improvement products like bi-fold doors, front doors, uPVC windows, and even double-glazed windows.
Benefits of Installing uPVC Doors
As long-time uPVC door installers, we have seen the advantages of this product range in practice, including:
- High-Tech Manufacturing: The latest in manufacturing technology ensures that the doors won’t twist, warp or bow. Panels are beautifully detailed for aesthetic appeal with an impeccable level of accuracy.
- Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, uPVC does not need to be maintained with a regular coat of paint or stain. Simply clean your door with a soft cloth and soapy water every few months.
- Durability: The strength of uPVC doors means they can endure strong impacts and various weather conditions. uPVC doors do not discolour in extreme sunlight or biologically decompose or rot.
- Function: uPVC doors are made from lightweight material for easy mobility. They also boast excellent acoustic qualities, ideal for noisy areas.
- Built-In Security: Made-to-measure multi-point locking systems provide enhanced security. You also have the option to upgrade with PAS24/Secured by Design additions for maximum security.
- Energy Efficient: Advanced thermal qualities help reduce heat loss and maintain internal temperatures throughout the year. This lowers the reliance on heating or cooling appliances, thus lowering utility bills.
