WHY UPVC?
★ UPVC - Unplasticized Poly-Vinyl Chloride - is a specially compound created after nearly thirty years of
intensive research and development. UPVC has become the primary substance in the manufacture of
windows, doors, and other building materials in the construction industry.
★ UPVC is more than twice as efficient resulting in far greater energy savings. UPVC is a stable and inert
material which will withstand extremes of heat and cold without corroding, chipping, peeling or flaking.
UPVC PANEL
