Advantages of PVC Doors and Windows

When compared to wooden or aluminum frames, PVC frames score highest in achieving energy efficiency. They have better insulation values and prove to be cost efficient by reducing energy costs. If combined with double or laminated glass, their cost-efficient thermal insulation is even higher. They help keep homes cool during hot weather and warm during cold weather.

PVC frames are extremely easy to care for and require very little maintenance.
To care for your doors and windows all you need is a damp cloth with a light soapy wash and an ocassional check of the seals.

Compared to wood windows for example, with PVC you can achieve the same wooden look without the hassle of caring for actual wood or worrying about swelling, color fading and re-painting or termites. PVC requires virtually no maintenance making it very convenient and timesaving.

PVC frames have a particularly long service life, specially compared to wood doors and windows and even aluminum. Aluminum frames have mechanical unions, which over the years loosen up. Aluminum can also corrode and have galvanic reaction to the fasteners, as does steel. Wood doors require constant maintenance; they fade in color, swell, can develop termites and in certain weather, even rot.

PVC is a stable material so it is pollution resistant, sea water resistant and chemical proof. It is also extremely resistant to weather conditions, has amazing distortion resistance and high level of functionality for years and years. Based on their long service life of at least 50 yrs., PVC windows are an excellent investment that is bound to maintain your property’s value.

Given their long service life, PVC doors offer clear cost advantages, both in acquisition and throughout the entire life cycle. If you add to their long product life the fact that they have high energy-saving potential and require minimal maintenance, PVC doors will save you money in multiple ways in the long-term.

Fire test have shown that PVC materials, being naturally flame retardant throughout their product life, will not cause, support or enhance the development of accidental fire and are in fact self-extinguishing.

PVC windows are resource-saving since they are 100% recyclable. PVC content is shredded and treated to produce granules and can be recycled at least 7 times.
Besides their recyclability, PVC doors are extremely durable. As opposed to wood doors for example, PVC windows last much longer, don’t contribute to the cutting of trees and consume considerably less energy during the manufacturing process.

The low levels of pollution during the production of PVC profiles help produce an excellent eco-balance and contribute towards the protection of the environment. 40% of all the gas and oil reserves in the world are used for heating and for supplying energy to buildings, and just 4% go into the production of plastics of which 1% is used for PVC.
Also, the PVC window sector is constantly striving to be more sustainable. PVC compound can only be produced with environmentally friendly stabilizers. The PVC profiles used at our company are 100% lead-free.
