To complete the overall structure of a building, be it residential or commercial, windows and doors are an absolute necessity. Not only do these enhance the curb appeal but also indoor comfort as well as security.
Traditionally, different materials like wood,
aluminium, glass, steel, etc. were used to make doors and windows for
residential buildings. However, these days, the polymer uPVC has become the
most preferred option for buildings’ doors and windows. This polymer has gained
widespread popularity due to its flexibility and weather-resistant properties.
However, another very important thing about uPVC is that although flexible, it
is also quite strong, and doors and windows made with it offer great security
to homes. Moreover, uPVC windows with mosquito mesh and such
other additions also help in ensuring that the indoor environment is absolutely
safe and energy-efficient.
Here’s more on how uPVC windows and doors make
a home secure.
Multi-Point Locking Mechanism
uPVC frames are unbreakable, and the windows
too can be easily fitted with the multi-point locking mechanism. This ensures
that even if the lock is picked from one side it will not be unlocked. Along
with the high-security locking mechanism, these windows can also be fitted with
double-paned toughened glass to improve their security.
Fire Safety
Based on several tests that have been performed
over the years, uPVC has been found to be a natural fire retardant. uPVC being
a flame retardant does not allow the flames to gain strength and spread all
over. So, in homes fitted with uPVC doors and windows, there will definitely be
less damage if a mishap is to happen.
Internal Beading
uPVC windows these days are either internally
or externally beaded. In this process, a strip of wood, plastic or metal is
attached to the glass pane so it snuggly holds the panel inside its frame.
While earlier some uPVC windows had external beading, for better security,
windows these days are fitted with internal beading for better security.
Structural Integrity
uPVC is known for its extreme durability. The
polymer is resistant to corrosion and can withstand the vagaries of nature for
years together. Also, they do not flake or chip off on exposure to the UV rays
of the Sun. So, homeowners can rest assured that the structural integrity of
their doors and windows would not diminish with age.
Excellent Sealing
uPVC windows with mosquito mesh as well as other features like
silicone sealant further ensure the security of the home interiors from the
elements. These windows and doors have fusion-welded joints, multi-chambered
profiles as well as air-tight sealing to keep away all kinds of dust, insects,
and pollution. The sealing of these windows and doors also helps in noise
cancellation keeping the interiors of the home calm.
uPVC windows and doors are designed to ensure
that that along with accentuating the curb appeal of the building they can make
them secure and absolutely comfortable for the dwellers.
