  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...

  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 a 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 relevan...

  There are a dozen sorts of windows out there that bring different advantages to the table. Selecting the proper uPVC window for your home or office could also be an important task and it all eventually comes right down to your personal needs and preferences.

They are energy efficient – reducing electricity bills by up to 30% and that they hamper noise by up to 40 decibels. They are leakproof, fire-resistant, and don't corrode, warp or rust, thus prevent discoloration or weathering. They are also strong enough to face up to high-velocity winds and supply enhanced security. They are also extremely durable, lasting for years with minimal maintenance. uPVC Casement Windows Casement windows or Side ...

  Casement windows, also called crank-style windows, are slowly replacing the classic hinged windows in our homes and offices. Not only do they appear sleek, but they also release lots of space. These windows are quite versatile as they blend with both modern and traditional architecture and décor.

Types of Casement Windows and Designs The reason casement windows have gained significant popularity is that they're stylish and practical at an equivalent time. Although the components of such windows remain equivalent , they're divided into three differing types . The construction of your home, its interiors, and weather will determine which sort of win...

  uPVC window frames are a singular construction alternative that provide proven durability and performance. PVC is an incredibly versatile polymer used for a huge range of building products from potable water pressure pipes to power cables and hygienic hospital flooring. The 'u' in uPVC simply means un-plasticised PVC . This means the polymer is in a hard, rigid form instead of flexible or soft. uPVC is a perfect material for long-lasting, low maintenance, thermally efficient windows . It is these key features that have led to uPVC windows being the foremost popular choice in Europe and America for many years . In India, they need around 20 years. But it's only more recently that their popularity has begun to grow as homeowners and builders alike are trying to find better products and materials to construct more energy efficient homes . Unlike alternative, traditional materials for frames, uPVC is water and salt resistant and thermally non-conductive so it can withstand th...
