Material of uPVC

The uPVC (Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride) profile used by WINDOOR is made from special moulding material. The process of making the profile start in the form of powder mixed and balanced homogeneously with all necessary additives for high impact UV to form a compound that meets all the required properties. The compound is then fed in molten form into moulds designed accordingly to the different sizes and specification or profiles. Once this process is finished, then it will be cooled to form the final uPVC profiles to be used in the fabrication of the windows and doors.

What is Double Glazing

In general term, the double glazing means replacement windows. The double glazing part of the window is the glass. Double glazing panes are kept apart by a spacer bar, which contain hundred of tiny silica balls, It is these balls which soak up any moisture which exists in the air gap between the pane of glass.


Double Glazing Insulation

Turning to the double glazing window glass itself, the insulating affect of double glazing are affected by a number of Factors. Double glazing insulation is affected by cavity width, the use of argon instead of air in between the panes or by utilizing a low emissivity coating that reflects heat back into a room. The latest double glazing offers greatly improved insulation compared to traditional single glazing openings. In addition to there better insulation double glazing windows are also draught-proof. Double glazing therefore reduces the amount of heat and cold that can escape or disperse out from window glass, so you can cut down on your heating or cooling and save on energy bills without sacrificing comfort.

Advantages of uPVC

Weather Resistant

The product of WINDOOR is highly weather resistant quality is achieved by anti ultra violet and high impact resistant formulation. It withstands long exposure in extreme weather, like under scorching sun, storms, dryness or high humidity. They are ideal to install in special conditions like in coastal areas where the strong winds, heavy rains and salty air effects the building. WINDOOR uPVC is more applicable with no quality deterioration ever. They do not rot, nor warp, it can perfectly withstand year of weather beating.

Fire Retardant

WINDOOR uPVC products are fire retardant. Fire tests have shown that Upvc material being naturally flame retardant through their product life, will not cause supportor enhance the natural development of fire. Unlike the timber windows, uPVC sections do not support combustion are in fact self extinguishing.


Economical   Maintenance Free

WINDOOR uPVC products are very economical when compared to the other alternatives like wood, aluminum, steel, etc. available in the market. Also it is very easy and quick to fabricate & install without any massive labour work. Looking upon other advantages like closed, smooth surface makes it extremely easy to clean, using any household detergent in water. This also means that the product is virtually dirt resistant because there are no pores, which can be filled with dirt. They do not require regular repainting or expensive maintenance and these products are also Termite Resistant.

Energy Efficient

In air-conditioned building & houses, windows with a low conductive material can reduce the loss of energy. WINDOOR uPVC products have been designed with multi chambers which reduce the transfer of heat & can reduce the energy loss by over 30-35%. Thus making it ENERGY SAVING WINDOW.

Water Resistant

WINDOOR uPVC doors & windows are water resistant. They are fabricated by using sophisticated and automatic machines insuring no gaps. During installation process special material are used to prevent water passing from outside to inside. These uPVC window and doors systems are successfully used in swimming pools, marine & ocean environment without detriment to the surface finish or performance. These uPVC windows and doors are ideal for monsoon seasons.

Efficient Thermal Insulation

WINDOOR uPVC doors & windows contribute to a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in your home. They prevent thermal bridging, the thermal insulating performance of the finished window is exceptionally good. The glazing is also of utmost importance for good thermal values, also contributing to a substantial energy saving. WINDOOR uPVC eliminate the problems of water condensation on the window planes inside the house.

Sound / Acoustic Insulation

WINDOOR uPVC products are sound retardant. These products are ideal for offices, schools, hospitals, buildings, etc., where people need silence. These uPVC window & doors are consist of a multi-chambered profile with tight seal, making them the best windows in noise separation. It cut unnecessary disturbances.

Environment Friendly

The extrusive process of WINDOOR uPVC window and door profiles is relatively energy efficient, compared to other materials. Another benefit where uPVC has been specified as an alternative to wood is that it helps in curbing deforestation. Besides, they can be fully recycled and reused for the production of uPVC profiles.

uPVC Globely Accepted

All over the world, people already using alternate material for doors & windows called uPVC. Now it comes to India. The traditional material mainly wood becomes costly and hazardous to the environment. This alternate material is now introduced and provided by us.
