  If you're considering a home renovation project, upgrading your windows with uPVC window profiles can be an excellent investment. uPVC, or unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, is a type of plastic that is durable, energy-efficient, and easy to maintain. Here are some of the benefits of uPVC window profiles for your home improvement project. Energy Efficiency One of the primary benefits of uPVC window profiles is their energy efficiency. uPVC is a good insulator, which means that it can effectively trap heat inside the house during winter and keep it cool during summer. This can help reduce your energy bills and your carbon footprint. According to the US Department of Energy, replacing single-pane windows with energy-efficient windows can save homeowners up to $465 per year on their energy bills. In addition to the material's insulating properties, uPVC window profiles also come with double or triple glazing options, which can further enhance their energy efficiency. Double glazi...

uPVC Profiles Prevail in all Climatic Conditions - Norway

  Due to their excellent insulation properties and low thermal transmittance uPVC window systems help reduce air conditioning and/or heating costs depending on the climate in which they are used. What’s more, they are not only effective in regular residential circumstances but sometimes even in “rough terrain". Spitsbergen, Norway aluplast’s systems not only work well on high mountains but also in the far north, i.e. in Spitsbergen, Norway which is a large, permanently populated island that borders the Arctic Ocean, the Norwegian Sea, and the Greenland Sea. Spitsbergen has an arctic climate characterized by long, cold winters and short, cool summers. The region experiences extremes of solar radiation in both summer and winter. The island faces long periods with sea ice, glacial ice or snow on the surface. The Nicolaus Copernicus University Polar Station, the northernmost Polish research unit, is located in the northwestern Spitsbergen. Hahut, the name of the station, provides faci...

The 3 Golden Principles of Correct uPVC Window and door Installation

Image
  One lesser known fact from the uPVC window industry is that a large percentage of customers' problems have more to do with installation errors than the actual windows. Truth be told, the number of errors made during the installation of windows in India today is abhorrently large and yet, completely avoidable. So how does one make sure that a window is correctly installed? By following these three principles, of course:   Principle # 1: As a result of correct installation, windows and the wall of  building should form a uniform and durable assembly.   If the window-wall connections are made incorrectly, which happens all too often, the process of damage to the window and the building starts immediately after the installation works are completed. Forces caused by wind pressure and suction, the stresses arising from temperature changes and other mechanical stresses determine the durability of the connection between the window and the wall. This becomes especially rele...

uPVC WINDOW - WATER TIGHTNESS

Image
  uPVC WINDOW -  WATER TIGHTNESS Due to the obvious nature of its name, this property of windows appears to be the easiest to explain. Some readers might already know that windows cannot be divided into water-tight and non-water-tight. There are as many as 10 water-tightness classes defined for uncovered windows, from 1A to 9A, as well as a special class, Exxxx where the xxxx stands for the value of pressure greater than 600 Pa. Uncovered windows The term “uncovered window” is defined as any window installed in a building wall whose entire surface is exposed to weather conditions, to include wind and rain. Depending on the test pressure level and the time for which the tested window remains completely water-tight to rainwater, windows are given appropriate designations. Consequently, in reality, the “water-tightness”, also referred to as “driving-rain resistance”, of a uPVC window identifies the wind load during rainfall at which rainwater will start penetrating the interior o...
