uPVC and its Uses
The rigid form of PVC has replaced many materials in the construction industry and is now utilised for soffits, weatherboarding, cladding, drainpipes and gutters. Because the material is highly cost effective and requires very little maintenance, it is a popular replacement for timber and cast iron. When used in the production of windows and doors, PVC-U is also very energy efficient, which is why it is used in double glazed windows.
