uPVC Window / Door Frame

Window and door frames made from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, the most common and economical frame material in the UK. uPVC is low maintenance, thermally efficient (with multi-chamber profiles), and available in a range of colours and woodgrain finishes. It has larger section sizes than aluminium and may not be appropriate in conservation areas or on premium extensions where slim sight lines are required.
