Modern technology owes ecology an apology. ~ Alan M. Eddison
All over the globe people have started using alternative materials for doors, windows, partitions, cubicles and portable cabins. Traditional materials like wood have became expensive and environmentally disastrous. This has driven people to source alternatives such as asbestos, steel, acrylic, fiberglass and PVC-U or uPVC.
Plasticizer-free PolyVinyl Chloride (PVC-U)
PVC-U has a low thermal conductivity, the thermal conductivity of PVC-U is 0.14kcal/m.hr°C that is1/1250 of Aluminium, which is 175 kcal/m.hr°C. The lower the thermal conductivity the more the energy saving. PVC-U Windows and Doors can therefore reduce the energy loss by 30%. Multi chambered profile with tight seal are used to design PVC-U Windows and Doors. The compound used is 100% recyclable and the longevity of the product makes it a very strong option to wood, which reduces deforestation considerably.PVC-U has a good ecological balance when compared to wood and generally much better compared to aluminum. PVC-U is recyclable any number of times, has proven performance benefits in the event of fire and has a relatively low intrinsic oil content unmatched by polyethylene, polypropylene or polystyrene. All in all, these benefits add up to make PVC-U an extremely beneficial and cost-effective choice, as well as an intelligent one for specifiers wishing to use an environmentally responsible product with a long life span, low maintenance needs and documented performance and recyclability. One of the most successful modern synthetic materials, it makes excellent use of scarce resources, is long-lasting and safe in production, use and disposal. The effect of PVC-U on the environment, from manufacture to disposal, has been more thoroughly researched than almost any other synthetic material.
Over a period, it was observed that, the PVC-U stands miles ahead of other materials. In most developed countries, people have started using PVC-U doors and windows. The technology for manufacturing these sections has come of age.
