The main strong points are: • Good compromise impact / rigidity. • Good weathering (experience of more than 40 years). • Very low maintenance. • High thermal and acoustical insulation. • High dimensional stability. • Good Fire resistance. • Good surface aspect (wide range of colours and appearances). • No moisture absorption. • Very good chemical resistance. • Possibility to be welded. PVC is also the most sustainable product that allows energy saving.
