What are uPVC windows?

There are so many reasons why uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is the perfect material to be used for windows and door frames. German uPVC frames are significantly cheaper than aluminium and timber frames as well as fire-resistant and recyclable. It is a modern material which allows for effective soundproofing and security. Our German uPVC windows not only conform to Australian standards, but they are also aesthetically pleasing, extremely durable and easy to maintain.

UPVC windows are also environmentally conscious as they have many chambers which facilitate good acoustics and retains warm or cool air inside your home. This feature is extremely important as windows and door are commonly known as the weakest link in the insulation of a home, losing approximately 40% of your home’s heating energy.

Why German uPVC windows?

In Europe and the United States, it is common practice to install double-glazed windows and doors in homes as they are cost-efficient and effective however Australia is still lagging behind these countries and installs double-glazed windows much less frequently.

At Nu-Way Glass & Glazing we make our windows from German components as double-glazed windows and doors have been commonly used in Germany for decades. In fact, in 2017 uPVC windows were announced by industry experts as being the most purchased window in Germany. Making uPVC the number one material for windows in Germany.

UPVC is also the ideal material to suit our Australian lifestyle, not only because of all the benefits outlined above but because this material is ideal in coastal areas as it has a high salt content and won’t be damaged by strong winds and salty air. Our modern uPVC windows are tightly fitted in your home which is advantageous for soundproofing and a high-quality seal is used to ensure that no hot or cold air escapes.

UPVC is also a recyclable material and although there is a low amount of uPVC frames being recycled due to the recent introduction of uPVC in Australian homes and buildings, there are industry programs which are taking uPVC off-cuts and putting them back into new products. This keeps the off-cuts out of land-fill and saves money for producers.
