UPVC is a very flexible material that is extremely durable. It is also environmentally friendly. It is available in a range of attractive colours as well as woodgrain finishes with timber effect.

UPVC

UPVC, or PVCu, is the most sought-after material for the frames and casements of the new doors and windows in the UK. It is indestructible to rust and rot so it can be exposed to the salty air of the sea without issue. It is also nonporous so that water won't get inside and cause mould or mildew to develop.

uPVC is a good choice for various locking mechanisms to secure your home. It can also be molded into different shapes, creating a more traditional look for your doors and windows.

One of the biggest advantages that uPVC has over other materials is that it doesn't require sanding and repainting as often as wood does. You can just wipe it down with a damp cloth to keep it clean and fresh. This is perfect for houses that don't have a lot of time to spare on maintenance.

uPVC is extremely energy efficient too. It's a very low conductor of heat and when used in conjunction with double glazed glass, can reduce heat loss. This is a huge advantage during colder winter months and will help reduce heating costs in winter. UPVC is available in a vast variety of finishes and colours, including the popular wood grain effect.

Aluminium

Aluminium is a very versatile material that can be made into a wide variety of decorative and useful products. Aluminium melts into ingots which are then rolled into sheets, foils, bars, or rods. These are then drawn into wire, which is then stranded into cable or forged into massive geometric shapes. Aluminium is incredibly energy efficient and long-lasting as it doesn't expand or shrink in extreme weather conditions. It is an environmentally friendly material that is recyclable without losing its quality. This makes it the perfect material for doors and windows that can endure the test of time.

Aluminium frames are sleek and sophisticated and look great in both a contemporary city pad or a traditional home. They are also easy to maintain, as they don't require re-painting or staining as traditional wooden frames do.

Other factors such as weathering and moisture can affect the performance of windows or a door. Wood products that have been exposed to a lot of rain can discolor or expand, causing gaps around the frame. UPVC is more resistant to this because it is constructed with expansion and contraction in mind. However, UPVC is still susceptible to changes in temperature due to changes. This is why it's crucial to select a manufacturer that understands these issues and can adjust the openers to suit. They might be able to suggest other solutions to maintain the integrity of your door or window, such as installing a Low-E insulating thermal break.
