What is UPVC?

UPVC is a form of plastic, and is short for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride. It’s a low maintenance building material that is commonly used in the construction of windows, door, guttering and pipes.  The popularity of uPVC products has grown rapidly in the past few years and it’s one of the most widely used materials in the home.

So why should you choose uPVC windows and door over timber and metal? Keep reading for the benefits of choosing uPVC for your home…

The Benefits of UPVC Windows and Doors

Durability

UPVC windows and doors are known for being incredibly durable and can cope well in extreme weather conditions. Unlike metal or wood, this material won’t rust, swell or warp, and should retain its strength and appearance for many years to come.

UPVC is completely waterproof so you’ll not need to worry about leaks or dampness. Secured by design, uPVC coating is also protected against UV rays which can cause materials to fade overtime.

High Energy Efficiency

When it comes to buying replacement windows or doors, energy efficiency is a really important factor. Not only will the material you choose affect the energy rating of your home but it will also impact the warmth.

UPVC double glazed windows and doors minimise heat loss by forming a closed air system.  Not only will you save money on your heating bills, you’ll also be reducing your carbon footprint.

Maintenance Free

If you decide to invest in uPVC windows and doors, you’ll be happy to know that they’re virtually maintenance free.  Their surface won’t rot or rust and they’re easy cleaning. UPVC products also come available in wide range of colour so there’s no need re-paint.

Give your uPVC windows and doors the occasional wipe down and they should last for decades without any signs of weathering.

Value for Money

UPVC products are considerably cheaper than their aluminium and timber counterparts, and they provide more benefits. Prices for uPVC windows and doors can vary depending on the style and features. But you can usually expect to get more value for money when you buy uPVC.

Sound-proof

One of the most popular benefits of uPVC is its superior soundproofing. The material works alongside double glazed windows or doors to help decrease noise levels passing through the home. This means you can remain protected from unpleasant sounds like nearby traffic or nosy neighbours.

Most uPVC windows and doors can reduce external noise by up to 50%, making your home a more calm and relaxing space.

Increased Security

As we mentioned before uPVC is incredibly durable, this makes it reliable in regards to security.  At Advanced Roofline all of our uPVC windows are anti-crowbar meaning they can’t be forced open.  Our doors frames are also constructed to be extremely tough and when used with a locking combination, should be burglary proof.
