Frequently Asked Questions

General Question

PVC or Poly vinyl Chloride is form of plastic derived from common salt (57%) and oil (43%).

UPVC is used for many purposes including;

  • Medical - Blood Bags, Catheters etc.
  • Food Packaging - Bottled Water, food Wrappings
  • Building products - pipe, windows etc.

Additives are used in specific proportions with PVC to derive certain properties. This is known as compounding or blending.

  1. Heat Stabilizers : To prevent material degradation during extrusion.
  2. Impact Modifiers : To improve toughness and impact resistance.
  3. UV Stabilizers : It prevents the profile from fading under ultra violet rays.
  4. Lubricants & Process Aids : To improve the extrusion process

The blends developed by us are specifically made to suit tropical climates like India and have been proven in use for over 10 years.

UPVC window systems are resistant to scratches during normal domestic use. If scratches do appear, they can be polished out.

Unlike MOST other plastics UPVC is self-extinguishing. This means when the source of the fire is taken away, and it stops burning.

Any material will give off fumes when it burns – remember UPVC is self-extinguishing.

UPVC has many benefits over the alternative materials – see below.

Wood Steel UPVC
MAINTENANCE Need regular Painting/ Staining Some Refinishing Over Life Of Building No Painting Necessary
DURABILITY Can Rot Or Warp Steel Can Rust & twist Will Not Rot Or Warp
PERFORMANCE Low weather Tolerance Steel Frames Don’t Use Weather Seals Excellent, Long- Life Weathering Performance
PRODUCTION /ECOLOGY Tropical Hardwoods Are Ecologically Unsound Tropical Hardwoods Are Ecologically Unsound Efficient User And Conserver Of Energy
AESTHETICS Looks Good Can Look Cold And Out Of Proportion Elegant looks
ENERGY CONSERVATION Insulation- Good Insulation - Poor Insulation- Excellent
ACOUSTIC INSULATION Acoustics - Poor Acoustics - Poor Acoustics - Excellent
STRUCTURAL STRENGTH Good Very Good Good with encapsulated reinforcing

U-PVC is very durable, windows installed 40 years ago in Germany are still in good working order.. The life of this product is probably as long as the life of the building, provided the mechanical components are maintained.

  • The construction of the PVC extrusion is multi-chambered which improves the strength.
  • Steel reinforcements are used to impart sturdiness.
  • Steel is three times stronger than aluminium.
  • All the joints are heat fusion welded
  • The welds are actually stronger than the profile!
  • UPVC as a material is impervious to water.
  • UPVC does not rot.
  • The windows give excellent weather-proofing

Properly installed U-PVC windows give excellent noise reduction (Attenuation)

UPVC window have excellent thermal properties which reduce dramatically the amount of heat gain within the property from the outside.

We will offer a Mosquito screen system for the Horizontal Sliding Window and Doors. Casement windows can use the same Mosquito Screen as used for wood or aluminium windows.

  • One of UPVC windows main strengths is low maintenance.
  • The hardware that we use are Made as per desired Quality Standards from LG Hausys and is tested up to 50,000 cycle of operation.
  • Should you need any maintenance like changing of glass or converting a single glazed into a double glazed, then we are here to service you. This will be done by our trained technicians.
  • We will offer a warranty on the UPVC profiles used in our window frames for a period of 10 years.

24.YES, think of the U-PVC system as a LEGO set from which you can manufacture any style which can be made in wood or aluminium if not more.

  • What is important is the range of temperature experienced by the window or door.
  • India has temperatures of 5o to 50oC i.e. a range of 45oC.
  • UPVC windows have been used in places such as Russia with temperatures from –35o to 45o i.e. a range of 80oC!
  • Wall thicknesses vary according to many factors.
  • All our systems are designed to meet specific structural requirements.
  • Where additional strength is required reinforcing, usually steel, is used.
  • All our systems can supply either single or double-glazing
  • Double-glazing greatly improves the thermal insulation of the windows
  • The fixing of the windows can be done through expansion fixing (using expansion bolts)
  • We would recommend that our windows be fixed in the apertures just before the final coating of paint is done.

The cost would be comparable with good quality aluminum window systems and lower than good quality wood.

Every window/contract/enquiry will be individually costed to ensure the most accurate costing and ranges from 700 Rs./Sqft to 1000 Rs.Sq.Ft depending of Sizes ,Design and glasses required

  • UPVC window systems costs less than any other types of windows systems, over a life-time use.
  • Our windows save on energy cost, are low on maintenance and are durable.
  • Because we fit the windows properly there is no ingress of water between the frame and the building which leads to expensive plaster damage on the inside of the house.
  • The property will be a trend-setter using the most modern window system available in India today
  • The aesthetic appearance will attract buyers.
  • You will have better sound insulation, lower heating and air conditioning bills
  • With some occasional simple cleaning the windows will look like new for years.
  • You can sell on the low maintenance aspects of the U-PVC windows.
  • You can customize your windows by using different architectural styles like arches, bay (135) and oriel (90) to top hung windows systems.
  • The hardware used is of a far higher quality than the norm, particularly when compared to aluminium windows.
  • Good fitting will ensure no water leaks, no plaster damage.
  • Every window will be made to size therefore there will be no “chipping out” to make the windows fit thereby saving cost and avoiding delays in completion.

All our delivery promises are guaranteed Typically we will deliver an average size order of about 20 white windows in 2 weeks in white finishes.
