If you are also planning to install uPVC Window India at your home, then opting for one of the best upvc windows manufacturer noida, will be the best decision you will ever make. Therefore, make your house more happening by picking the best uPVC Supplier Window Magic.

With the amendment to the national building regulations and to satisfy SANS 10400 XA and SANS 204, our love for massive windows to showcase our magnificent views is posing some interesting challenges. As windows transfer heat/cold over 10 times more than typical wall structures and conventional doors struggle to keep the south Easter/winter storms out, it makes sense to look at fenestration as it impacts the energy usage in buildings.

Thermal Properties

Without a doubt there are clear thermal advantages to using uPVC, as the solar heat gain coefficient and thermal transmittance U values are far superior than aluminum, steel and in most cases timber (depending on the type of timber used). This translates warmer houses in winter and cooler houses in summer, plus larger glazing areas (keeping your precious view) that comply with the regulations. uPVC prevents thermal bridging so prevents condensation unlike aluminum.

Cost 

Some installation quotes have been cheaper but majority of quotes have been a bit more than timber and aluminum. However, it’s a bit like comparing apples and oranges. One thing that is sure enough is that in the long term the uPVC will give greater savings due to the energy efficiency, low maintenance and durability properties. House value increased in overseas markets and there is no reason why the same is not true here with the installation of uPVC.

Maintenance

A clear winner above aluminum, steel and timber. uPVC never rots, flakes, rusts, fades, pits, peels or corrodes. uPVC needs only a light soapy wash and a check of the seals for maintenance. Aluminium can scratch and chip on the surface coating leading to exposed damage, where uPVC typically has color all the way through its profile so any scratches aren’t noticeable and it is tough on impact. Wood is becoming a gamble as to find good quality hardwoods are extremely difficult or expensive. The less dense woods of today need to be maintained almost annually and many people forget to factor scaffolding, pest control and wood treatment costs at their peril.
