UPVC Colour and Quality

Friday, January 29th, 2010

Did you know that the quality of the UPCV used on your double glazed windows and doors, not only has a direct effect on their life span, but also their colour retention? Clearly all UPVC gets dirty and a quick wipe over with washing up liquid can work wonders in the short term. However, if you want your UPVC to continue being sparkly and white, it’s worth investing in high grade materials during installation.

UPVC or Unplasticised Poly Vinyl Chloride, comes in many different grades and colours. Seen under a microscope, high quality grades, which have the greatest resistance to fading and sun damage, are far smoother than poorer, more porous compounds.
