UPVC Aluminium Window Repairs Dublin

Would you like to know more about uPVC Aluminium windows?

PVC is not used for window frames, although some manufacturers may use “PVC” to refer to their uPVC windows.

uPVC is used for window frames, as it does not decompose, is weather-resistant, does not change shape under normal weather conditions, and is recyclable, as it can be reshaped at high temperature. uPVC windows are more energy-efficient than those with wooden or metal frames. It can also be used for door frames and conservatories.

• UPVC aluminium windows are tough, durable and a long life material upvc has a service life of at least 35 years.
• UPVC aluminium windows and doors are low maintenance so they do not need to be painted and maintained over their lifetime like windows made from alternative materials. This reduces the requirement for working at height.
• With advanced design and styling, including a wide range of natural colours and textures, UPVC windows and doors can be specified to perfectly complement every housing type from traditional to modern.
• Over 80% of home owners and tenants prefer UPVC to any other option.
• UPVC aluminium windows are also readily repaired, in the event of damage or the unlikely event of hard-ware failure.

UPVC is Safe & Secure

• UPVC complies with all the latest health & safety and security requirements including, when specified, compliance with Secured by Design, the UK Police initiative supporting the principles of ‘designing out crime’ by use of effective crime prevention and security standards for a range of applications.
• The UPVC industry leads the way when it comes to continuous improvement of security, health and safety measures integrated into its windows and doors and advanced locking mechanisms meaning high levels of safety and security.

UPVC is Environmentally Sound

• UPVC manufacturing processes go beyond the strictest UK and EU legislation through a Voluntary Commitment by the PVC industry to sustainability.
• UPVC windows and doors are low maintenance through out their service life compared to alternatives. This avoids the ongoing environmental damage associated with the cleaning chemicals, solvents and paints needed to protect and maintain windows and doors made from other materials.
• Good environmental life cycle performance.

Versatility of UPVC

• UPVC is an inherently tough material yet it can be processed to accommodate virtually any design requirement allowing aesthetic integration with all building styles and locations.
• A virtually limitless choice of designs and the ability to tailor the UPVC installation to specifier and architects needs mean UPVC also offers great versatility in all types of housing project.
• Advanced locking mechanisms mean high levels of safety and security, whilst a range of tilt and turn options bring the benefit of fresh air ventilation whilst acting as a robust deterrent to opportunist theft.

Economical & Energy Efficient of UPVC Windows

• UPVC windows and doors provide exceptional cost effectiveness.
• The cost of upvc window systems and this shows UPVC’s continuing economic benefit both in capital and maintenance costs – typically around 30% compared with softwood alternatives.
• In addition to minimal installed costs, their low maintenance attributes mean UPVC windows and doors avoid the need for costly cleaning chemicals, varnishes and paints.
• Based on recent tests on windows of different materials on their energy efficiency upvc is recognised within the industry as a key marker on energy efficiency
• Continuous development has led to considerable improvements in thermal efficiency – with significant savings on home heating costs, reductions in energy loss and a commitment to sustainability.

UPVC is Sustainable

• PVC is the world’s most researched polymer with numerous life cycle analyses conducted in the UK and the EU indicating the material is as sustainable as any other option.
• The major ingredient of PVC is common salt – an abundant natural resource. UPVC window products are fully recyclable at the end of their life.
