What is PVCu and why is it so good for windows and doors?

PVCu stands for Polyvinyl Chloride Unplasticised, a durable rigid plastic. PVC was first discovered in 1835 but it wasn't until 1926 that it took off as a new and exciting product that today is used all over the world! PVCu contains stabilisers to protect it from the ravages of ultra violet rays from the sun, ensuring that your windows and doors stay the same brilliant colour year after year! With added strengthening agents to ensure your windows won't warp or twist, as well as adding to your security, PVC is great for windows and doors because it's tough, hard-wearing and low-maintenance, no painting required! And it's good to look at too!
