Que. 1. WHY UPVC ?

FEATURE OF uPVC DOORS AND WINDOWS.
Ans. 2

WEATHER PROOF & NON-CORROSIVE : beats all weather conditions- from salty air of coastal areas to snow bite and temperature fluctuations of India
ULTRA VIOLET RADIATIONS RESISTANT : the compound being Polyurethane based, these windows do not fade & crack when exposed to sunlight
ANTI-FUNGI, ANTI TERMITE : these windows are insects & termites proof; the hard surface of the compound protects these from such invasions
STRENGTH & DURABILITY : It has high impact strength and is long lasting
MAINTENANCE FREE : Does not require periodic repainting or maintenance; they do not rot, warp or corrode
THERMAL INSULATION : These windows are near airtight & have the option of two layered vacuumed glass panes (multi chambered design) to achieve more from air conditioning
ACOUSTIC INSULATOR : Protection against noise pollution & higher levels of privacy are insured; Sound insulation is increasingly becoming a compliance issue in many sensitive areas including hospitals; the fusion welded joints do not allow gaps to develop over a period of time, promising a dust & noise free environment
BURGLARY PROOF : These windows offer brave resistance against burglary; an expert installation of special fittings & glazing reduces the threat considerably
FIRE RESISTANT : PVC-U windows are fire resistant and do not support or enhance accidental fires
ECO FRIENDLY :These windows are energy efficiently compared to other materials; as a stronger option to wood, they contribute in drive against deforestation
