White Teak Fenestration

White Teak is a substitute for wood in window making. uPVC stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride, often used for drainage pipes and window frames. uPVC is a tough durable plastic film that is not as pliable as PVC.Ultra-high-density polyvinyl chloride, a rigid plastic material (polymer) with sufficient strength and weather resistance to be used for external building work. The main applications of uPVC are in window and door construction, in forming fascias, and in the making of rainwater goods.

Then came along uPVC. From the late 1990’s onwards they have dominated the market. And it’s not hard to see why. Here are 6 reasons to switch to uPVC doors if you haven’t already!

Longer Lifespan
Being made from plastic means that uPVC doors are extremely resistant and last an extremely long time, much longer than wooden doors and you don’t even have to worry about treating them as nicely!

Little (virtually no) Maintenance
Being so durable, uPVC requires extremely minimal maintenance (so much so that just the odd wipe to remove any dirt will suffice). Unlike wooden doors, uPVC doesn’t flake and doesn’t need to be painted. uPVC doors won’t be corroded or damaged by the weather either.

Better Insulation (cheaper bills!)
Whilst wooden doors would often expand and contract during different seasons, uPVC stay the same size and shape and close the gaps that can be found between wooden doors and their frames. This significantly reduces the amount of heat lost from your house meaning you spend less on heating bills!

Stylish
uPVC are very stylish and are available in an eclectic range of colours and designs, so you can be sure to find the style to best suit your home.

Cheaper
uPVC doors are much cheaper to produce than wooden doors, meaning that you enjoy a cheaper price tag for your new door!

Secure
The way that uPVC doors are constructed means that they come with a much more complex, lock system, making your door much, much more secure. uPVC door handles, and uPVC window handles for that matter, are built to prevent unwanted visitors gaining access to your home.
