Why Should You Choose a uPVC Door For Your Home?

Why uPVC?

The front door of your house represents the first impression that your home gets to make. 

uPVC doors are a very popular choice because of their easy installation as well as being wrapped in an insulated steel frame, forming a strong, thermally efficient airtight unit.

uPVC is a firm plastic that is widely used for windows, doors and other building materials. Unlike traditional PVC, uPVC is not softened by plasticizers, which makes it durable, long lasting, and resistant to wear and tear. Another feature why uPVC might be a useful choice is that their toughened resilience against intruders allows them to create an imposing presence.

Security 

As a result of this, uPVC doors can enhance your home’s security. Our uPVC door comes with advanced double glazing, which means that the thick panels of glass will deter intruders from breaking in. As the homeowner, you could invest in multi-locking mechanisms and firmer handles to make your door impossible to open. The uPVC doors are also more resistant in catching fire, making it the ideal door for families where there is a potential greater risk of starting fires.  

Thermal Insulator 

Whilst not only providing high levels of security, uPVC doors also keep your home warmer too. A uPVC door allows the natural light to flood straight into your home whilst also allowing to create a robust thermal barrier that traps natural heat in and leaves cold air outside. Therefore, creating a warmer space for you and your family while also reducing dampness, mould, and condensation spots. The property owner can also save money on repairs too because uPVC doors are watertight, meaning that water won’t be able to leak into your property. 

Noise Reduction 

The toughened glass can also act as a noise insulator where the glass is fitted perfectly on the frame. This means that you can enjoy a quieter atmosphere if you are located in a busy, noisy neighbourhood where it may be difficult to escape from. 

Low Maintenance

Due to its qualities, uPVC do not rust, warp, or discolour in wet conditions, therefore when cleaning, it only requires a quick wipe down with a damp cloth and it will be back into its pristine condition. 

Cost Effective

uPVC doors are a very popular choice with many homeowners due to its cheap and cost effectiveness. If you are on a budget, uPVC doors are a good investment due to its durable structure that can last for decades to come. You can still reap the benefits of a solid door whilst reducing the damage to furnishings where, in sunny conditions, the advanced double glazing will not allow the sunlight to discolour your furniture.
