Why uPVC

Performance Requirements and uPVC Window Prices

When you’re on the hunt for uPVC windows, it’s essential to pick a system that meets the performance needs of your project or home. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  1. Water Tightness
    Always check test reports for water tightness—this ensures your windows keep moisture at bay.
  2. Air Tightness
    Look for certifications that confirm air tightness, helping to minimize air leaks and boost energy efficiency.
  3. Noise Reduction
    Opt for uPVC windows with specialized glass options to create a quieter living space tailored to your needs.
  4. Thermal Insulation
    Evaluate the thermal insulation qualities of the windows to enhance energy efficiency and maintain a cozy indoor climate.
  5. Aesthetics and Functionality
    Make sure your uPVC windows align with your aesthetic vision while offering functional features for easy use.

Key Considerations for uPVC Window Selection

As you assess uPVC window prices, consider these important factors:

  1. Profile Extrusion
    Ensure your window profiles comply with EN 12608 – IS 1953 :2023standards and have the necessary certifications. Pay attention to chamber numbers and wall thickness.
  2. Steel Reinforcement
    Confirm the steel reinforcement is properly galvanized and meets thickness standards for strength and durability.
  3. Hardware
    Select reliable hardware from trusted brands like Deceuninck. For taller shutters, a multi-point locking system is ideal for security—just ensure it matches the shutter dimensions.
  4. Glass Options
    Choose glass options based on your needs for noise reduction and thermal insulation, factoring in your local climate.
  5. Structural Calculation
    Verify that your uPVC windows can withstand the wind pressures in your area, adhering to IS 875 Part 3 for wind load calculations.
