PVCu (polyvinyl chloride unplasticised)
frames have been used in the construction
of replacement windows and doors
for some years now and as a tried
and tested building material, PVCu
has the following advantages over
wooden and metal framed windows:
Waterproof and weather
resistant
Unlike timber and metal, PVCu does
not rot, crack, warp or rust when
exposed to the elements for years
on end. It is very durable and has
a very long working life.
Low maintenance
PVCu does not require any major
maintenance, regular painting or
weatherproofing to provide you with
years of trouble free service. A
general wipe over with warm soapy
water is all that is required to
keep your frames looking like new.
Excellent thermal insulation
The multi-chambered design used
in the construction of PVCu frames
whilst adding overall strength also
helps to greatly reduce any heat
loss through the frame.
Less of an impact on the
environment
'PVCu windows leave trees standing'
and PVCu can be melted down and
recycled for use in the manufacture
of other products.
