What are uPVC windows?
A uPVC window and door installation in Canberra can deliver a lot of advantages, but what are they and how can they benefit your property?
uPVC is short for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, a strong, lightweight, and low-maintenance building material perfect for use in windows and doors.
Why Get uPVC windows?
Canberra does not experience the wild temperature extremes of Europe or the US. However, with rising energy costs, there is an increasing need for Australians to build more energy-efficient homes.
Windows are the weakest link in a home’s insulation, but uPVC double-glazed windows are extremely efficient at stabilizing internal temperatures. An energy-efficient home translates to lower energy bills, but it also benefits the environment as it reduces our reliance on air conditioners or heaters.
Windows created from uPVC comes with very few drawbacks. They are a strong, durable product, but they are not suitable for high-rise buildings. This won’t affect homeowners or smaller commercial properties.
Another minor drawback is that you often need to completely replace old windows and doors to get the best results. Retrofitting is possible in some cases, but it is a temporary measure at best, and you miss out on the enhanced insulating properties of the full product.
Quality double-glazed uPVC windows and doors are attractive products that are available in a wide range of shades and textures, including wood effects. They deliver superior insulation over standard glass windows, are fantastic for reducing noise levels, and will continue looking good despite decades of exposure to the elements.
Here are a few more great reasons you will not regret installing uPVC double-glazed windows and doors on your property:
- uPVC frames incorporate insulated double glazing for improved insulation and noise reduction of up to 45dB
- They will not rust, rot, or attract termites
- uPVC handles all types of weather extremes
- Fusion welded manufacture prevents water leaks and drafts
Our uPVC windows are environmentally responsible products. They are 100% recyclable at their end of life and do not contribute to deforestation or smelter pollution.
People concerned with security will also benefit from uPVC windows and doors. They are difficult to break and make a lot of noise when they do. Windows are available with multi-point locks and double-locking handles. It takes a determined thief to beat uPVC windows because the plastic creates a tighter seal around glass and does not shrink with age like wooden frames.
