What are UPVC windows?
A commonly used and strong type of plastic is UPVC, or polyvinyl chloride.
The ‘u’ stands for unplasticised, meaning the plastic is not softened during manufacture, making it a perfect lightweight material for windows.
Why is UPVC used for Windows?
Windows, doors and other home improvement products are commonly made from UPVC.
With its lightweight and strong composition, UPVC is a popular alternative to wood, offering reduced costs for consumers and able to endure harsh weather conditions.
Why is UPVC commonly advertised when selling Windows?
Before the European changes, the term UPVC was widely used in the UK and has maintained its popularity as the most common naming convention in the UK for the material.
For that reason, most Manufacturers, Fabricators, Suppliers & Installers in the UK will often refer to items as UPVC Windows, although both uses of UPVC & PVCu are fine.
What’s the difference between UPVC & PVCu windows?
Since UPVC and PVCu are both abbreviations for Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride, there is no difference between the two.
Manufacturers, Fabricators, Suppliers & Installers will use UPVC or PVCu in their promotional material of windows, doors and other home improvement products, as they mean the same thing.
The benefits of UPVC are:
Maintenance free: UPVC Windows require very little, or no maintenance once installed.
Stunning looks: UPVC Windows are available in a wide variety of colours, finishes and styles which complement a multitude of applications and property styles. UPVC also retains its colour when faced with diverse weather conditions
