About UPVC

UPVC stands for un plasticized polyvinyl chloride (Rigid plastic). The great advantage offered by plastics is that they can be custom-engineered of a particular application; a slight change in a plastic’s molecular structure can result in substantial changes of its properties. That’s why not all plastics are the same, especially when it comes to window profiles. Unlike other material, PVC will not rot, corrode or otherwise be affected by sun, humidity, salt, pets, rodents or other harsh elements.
