The world has shifted its interest towards uPVC doors and windows, and for all the right reasons. Known for its energy efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness, Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride (uPVC) is the prime choice for doors and windows in modern architectural designs. This article offers an intriguing journey into the intricacies of uPVC door and window manufacturing.
Understanding the raw material - uPVC, a wonder material in construction, originates from the polymer family. As a source of green construction, it replaces traditional materials like wood and metal while granting superior quality and longevity. Unplasticized signifies that the material has not been softened during the process, enhancing its strength.
Manufacturing uPVC doors and windows starts with profile cutting, where the uPVC material is shaped into profiles or frames. Using advanced cutting machines ensure precision and the right dimensions. They are cut into the lengths needed for the window or door frame, mullion, transom, and beads.
Next comes the process of fusion welding - joining the cut profiles to form the window or door frame. The art of making perfect joints occurs at specific high temperatures where the pieces merge and solidify on cooling. This meticulous process ensures the final product has air-tight and leak-proof corners.
Reinforcements add an extra layer of weight and stability to the uPVC profiles. Typically, galvanized steel is used for this purpose. By fitting these steel reinforcements, the profiles can handle stress, wind pressure, and avoid deformation over a period.
Alongside, glass panes are prepared as per the desired size and specification. Multiple glass types and technologies are available to choose from - clear glass, tempered glass, double-glazed units being some common examples. It depends on the customer's preference for thermal efficiency, acoustics, aesthetics, and safety.
Finally, the glass panes are securely fixed into the reinforced uPVC profiles. Depending on the design specifications, single or multiple glass panes with the appropriate rubber gaskets and seals are installed. Assembling needs to be done carefully as the quality determines longevity and performance.
Lastly, comes the fitting of hardware components like hinges, handles, locks, and friction stays. The selection of these components has a significant impact on the usability and security offered by the doors and windows. The fittings have to be not just robust and reliable, but also in synergy with the aesthetics of the uPVC frames.
A quality check is run throughout each stage of the manufacturing process to ensure perfection in every piece. We pride ourselves on our attention to detail, innovative approach, and the infusion of technology to deliver uncompromised quality in our uPVC doors and windows.
