Smart substitute to Wood in Building Construction

        

          uPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride. Since, it is unplasticized or not softened by introducing plasticers to PVC, it is harder and tougher than the usual PVC which is plasticised. Simply put, uPVC is a rigid and stronger than PVC.

Like PVC, uPVC too has multiple applications. Durability, light weight, decay or corrosion resistance, ease of installation, economy etc. are some of the key factors uPVC products has. Over several years, it is proved that an effective substitute for wood and a reliable construction or building material is uPVC. An example is uPVC doors & windows.

uPVC is being used as a substitute for wood in door & window frames, complete doors & windows besides host of other work like panels, cladding, partitions and so on. It's growing popularity can be realised from the estimation that reveals that about 55 to 60% of all recently used window frames in USA and Europe are not made up of wood, steel or aluminium but of uPVC.

uPVC material is insulator of sound and thermal. So, if uPVC framed doors, windows or ventilators are double or triple glazed, they act as good noise and thermal insulators as a whole. These qualities come quite handy in very cold, hot or noisy areas. These additional benefits don't come with wooden, steel or aluminium elements as none of these materials are heat or soundproof.

Some advantages of uPVC doors or windows against competitor wooden, aluminium or steel counterparts are:

• They are free from decay, corrosion, termite attack etc. and thus are much more durable.
• They are light-weight and easy to handle or install.
• Protective coating is not needed like Wood. Aluminium and Steel.
• They are available in variety of colour. As they are inherent, colours will not fade. Thus, the question of initial or seasonal painting does not arise which is less wasteful and more cost effective.
• They are usually low cost and need no maintenance. As a result, they are more economical as compared to wooden doors and windows.
• uPVC Door and Window frames can be fortified with steel in order to increase their strength further. This makes them suitable for areas having high intensity wind.
• Being weatherproof, monsoon-proof or moisture-proof, they are distinct over wooden or aluminium windows in wet or harsh weather conditions.
• Being chemical resistant, oil, grease, salt, cement or other chemicals will not affect them. This quality makes them quite suitable for industrial or harsh environmental conditions.
• Using water paper, Stains, scratches, marks etc. can be erased and polished easily.

AWNING WINDOWS

It’s raining, it’s pouring…you think, “I wish I could just crack a window.” So you do. Then you guiltily close it again as water accumulates on the sill.

This scenario exemplifies why awning windows are so great; because they are hinged at the top and swing outward, you can still get a little fresh air, even when it’s raining out.

This is just one of the benefits of an awning window.

What are Awning Windows?

Awning windows are a member of the casement window family. Rather than being hung/hinged from the side, they are a top hung window which open outwards from the bottom.

Depending on the style of awning window you choose, you may use a turn crank or simply push them. In most cases, they are also smaller than a traditional window. You often see them in a series running along the top of a room or above patio doors.

PROS AND CONS TO AWNING WINDOW

Pros

Ventilation through the rain

As mentioned above, being able to open your windows, even just a crack, when it’s raining can be so refreshing. The downward angle will keep the rain running off the windows to the ground below.

Of course, you need to exercise caution if it’s breezy or windy to protect your home from interior moisture damage. They are an affordable choice for basements and attics where a little ventilation is always appreciated.

Affordable

These windows are easy on the budget. Consider vinyl replacement windows as they are practically impermeable to water damage (for those open-window-rainy-days) and will maximize energy efficiency along with your budget.

Let there be light

Awning windows are an excellent choice to add light to a basement or any other “cave-like” space in the house. They’re not recommended as the only window option in bedrooms because they aren’t as secure as other window options. They are also difficult to climb out of in an emergency since they open at an angle.

Privacy

Awning windows are a great application for a room in which you desire privacy. You can set them high up on a wall, out of the viewing range of nosy passersby, and you will benefit from natural lighting and ventilation.

Cons

Cleaning

While this could be more inspiration to start attending your local yoga class, the way the windows open make them a little awkward to clean.

Pair that with the fact that many are located higher up, and you can see the dilemma. However, they do give you the opportunity to throw some business at your local window cleaning company.

Security

These aren’t necessarily the safest windows, even with a locking mechanism. If safety is what you are looking for, you can go back and revisit “Casement Windows” or install a picture window.

That being said, the safety risk is minimal, especially if the windows are set higher on the wall.

If you are in the process of deciding which replacement windows are best for your window application, we would love to help. Give us a call and make an appointment.

How aluminium windows and doors suits for your home?

Aluminium becomes an increasingly popular choice for contemporary buildings, whether commercial or residential. Why? How it is attractive? Benefits of installing aluminium windows and doors in your property?

A modern, clean look

Aluminium frames are traditionally used in commercial buildings such as office spaces. The reason for this was not purely down to design but the fact that aluminium window and door frames offer exceptional benefits at a reasonable price.

Aluminium frames are robust and durable

Wooden frames need ongoing maintenance to stay best, and over time, irrespective of the care and attention you were to provide, frames would eventually perish to the elements and end up rotting.

However, aluminium is well known as its robust properties and unlike other materials that when exposed to sunlight can become bent or discolored, is unaffected by UV rays. Aluminium will never rot, rust or bend as the years pass and it stays clean and doesn't require regular maintenance.

In fact, aluminium is so durable that other than a bit of cleaning, it’s highly unlikely that you will have to do anything with your window or door frames as long as you reside in your property!

Aluminium frames can be constructed in almost every size and shape

Aluminium is extremely flexible, light and strong, which means it doesn't have the restrictions that other materials have. Aluminium frames can be constructed in just about any shape and any size you want – the only limits will be your imagination and budget! Huge windows stretching above two floors, heavy triple-glazed glass; all of these can become a reality if you have chosen aluminium.

Choose the color you want

Do you want bright colored window and door frames?

As aluminium frames can be coloured, you don’t have to opt for the ‘standard’ metal finish, style and character to your home.

Aluminium frames are energy efficient

Because of light weight, aluminium is flexible and easy to work with, manufacturers can produce door and window frames that offer high levels of wind, water and air-tightness, which means exceptional efficiency of energy. This results in a warmer home and lower energy bills. Aluminium is also recyclable, so if you are deciding to get rid of your frames, you are not harming the environment in the process.

                          

Aluminium frames are fire resistant

Olden time’s properties may have period features but when it comes to safety, they can become a severe fire hazard because of all the wooden frames used in the construction of older homes.

Unlike its wooden parts, aluminium window and door frames are fire resistant, which is a massive selling point as the design and build of modern homes are increasingly focused on safety and fire resistance.
