What is UPVC, How its made, Why it is so popular, Its benefits and types? 

UPVC is mostly called Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride which is very rigid and hard material for making windows and doors. UPVC is generated from PVC which is known as Polyvinyl Chloride, was invented by one of the famous Chemists of German name Mr. August Wilhelm von Hofmann in the year 1872. PVC is often used for making pipes as this is flexible, soft in nature: it has a unique property that can not be seen in any other material, as this can be hard as engineered plastic and can be soft as rubber. For creating such types of unique products PVC goes from a very long process of blending which includes pigments, stabilizers, lubricants, processing aids which makes it attractive.

Now again we come to UPVC which is the best choice of architectures for making doors and windows for the dream projects.

 The Benefits of UPVC can be:

1. This product is in high demand because of its cost-effectiveness and durability.
2. This product has many varieties of attractive colors.
3. UPVC has a quality of sound resistance with good airtightness.
4. This material has the best insulation and retardant from fire.
5. This is easy to maintain and has anti-aging, anti-theft hardware quality.
6. The thermal quality is low which makes easy manufacturing.
7. It doesn’t need any extra paint activities and can be maintained by just wiping it in a year.
8. UPVC is very hygienic as it keeps dust, bacteria, pollens outside and it doesn’t attract dirt.

Why UPVC is used for making doors and windows:

Today everyone wants their dream project which can be home, office; the villa is made of best quality of products. Doors and windows make the house look attractive and beautiful which is the first priority of individuals. This looks best when it is made up of UPVC which has great properties such as:

1. UPVC is weather resistance as none whether condition effect windows and doors made by this.
2. This can’t decompose biologically which means it doesn’t affect by the pest.
3. It’s a recycling product that can be reshaped at a high temperature.
4. This is best for renovation as at a very low budget this can be installed.
5. UPVC protects from harmful sun rays from entering at home.
6. It has high hardware security with bulgar proof glass which prevents crime.
   

Most popular types of UPVC windows:

If we talk about the specifications of UPVC then it comes in different sizes and colors even it can vary according to need. Different types of windows and doors can be manufactured by UPVC which are:

1. 2 Track Sliding Window
2. 3 Track Sliding Window
3. Casement Window
4. Fix Window

2 Track Sliding Window: This type of windows has two sliding panels from left to right and vise versa. This window gives a very attractive look to any building and comes out best with different variants of color. The inner part of the panel is covered by protective glass which can be of any color. The size of the window can be different according to the need of the customer.

3 Track Sliding Window:  This window has 3 panels, 2 are of glass and one is for mesh shutter. Mesh shutters protect the home from entering of mosquitoes, dust particles and give pure air. This window gives the amazing look to the property with its attractive colors.

Casement Window: Such windows are getting used from traditions; even now such windows attract people by its classy finish and looks. The window mostly gets open inside but now it also comes as outside casement, top-up casement, tilt, and turn casement.

Fixed Window: Windows of this type are used to cover the part of the wall so that the outside view can be seen. This type of windows protects the property from entering dust, harmful UV rays and gives the best view of outside from the colorful glass used in the window.

• The other product which is made up of UPVC is pipes, which are eco friendly and chemical resistant.
• These pipes have lightweight and durability which makes low transportation costs and low budget installation.
• These are mineral resistant with high strength and UV resistance.
• UPVC is the best choice for sewer pipelines as they are non-metallic and resistant to all types of metallic corrosion.
• UPVC is also used in electrical installation as they are non-conductive to combustion and fire, as they mean extra safety.

How UPVC get manufactured?

The manufacturing of UPVC is the art and work of science which makes the profile of UPVC much more resistant. There are 4 stages for manufacturing UPVC which are:

1. Configuration of resin compound:

The primary step for manufacturing UPVC is the formation of a compound. A certain amount of raw material is used for preparing the mixture of resin. As the mixture is created from Calcium Carbonate and Titanium dioxide which makes uPVC more resistant from UV rays and more durable. The resin mixtures are made from lead-free substances for a friendly and healthier environment.

2. Exclusion for the profile of UPVC;

The process of exclusion is a very important stage for the manufacturing of UPVC. The material gets heated in the temperature of 200-275 Celsius of degree for designing where automatic equipment is used which ensures that mixing is done accurately. And the last the mix get pulled for making a profile in shape.

3. Packaging and Distribution:

Now it’s time to finalize the manufacturing process after a long journey of UPVC. The profiles are kept for getting cold from water then they take the shape sturdy. Once the profile gets cool then they get cut into shapes, the protective tapes and labels of packaging are used.

4. Creating the reinforced profile:

This is the last process that is not included in the procedure of manufacturing which makes the profile of UPVC more strong and strengthful. Reinforcement is very important for making UPVC robust as this is the best form of reinforcement. The galvanized steel reinforcement is used in the reinforced profile.
