What is UPVC and why is it good for windows and doors?
UPVC stands for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride a rigid plastic. PVC was first discovered in 1835 but it wasnt until 1926 that it took off as a new and exciting product that today is used all over the world! UPVC contains stabilisers to protect it from the ravages of ultra violet rays from the sun, ensuring that your windows and doors stay the same brilliant colour year after year! With added strengthening agents to ensure your windows wont warp or twist, as well as adding to your security, UPVC is great for windows and doors because its tough and hard-wearing.
