What Is The Difference Between PVC and uPVC Windows?

 

PVC, otherwise known as polyvinyl chloride, is a plastic material that can be fashioned into a wide range of items including windows, doors, and furniture. 

 

uPVC, on the other hand, is a very similar material. 

 

But, what are the main differences between PVC and uPVC? The biggest difference is the properties within the materials. 

 

For example, PVC contains BPA and phthalates, both of which make the plastic more flexible. Whereas, uPVC, doesn’t contain those additional properties and is called a ‘rigid plastic. Also, the ‘u’ in uPVC stands for ‘unplasticised’ to reflect this difference between them.

• Wide range of different styles and types
