UV Resistance

 

Ultra violet radiation can damage window frames, causing painted windows to develop cracks or patches of discoloration. However, our uPVC double glazed windows and doors, which contain Polyurethane, are designed to resist fading and cracking even under intense sunlight. With our energy efficient windows, you don’t need to worry about polishing or painting for UV protection.

Un-reinforced uPVC window profiles can lack rigidity and have a high coefficient of expansion, leading to distortion. To prevent such issues, we reinforce all our double glazed windows and doors with either aluminium or steel, based on customer preferences. This internal metal extrusion enhances the frame's stiffness, preventing warping or twisting under heat or pressure. While both aluminium and steel are effective, many of our customers prefer aluminium for its lightweight and rust-resistant properties.

We use only high-quality extrusions that have undergone rigorous UV radiation testing in harsh desert and mountain environments. Our profiles are specifically formulated for Australian conditions, ensuring durability against the sun's potential damage. Manufactured in Sydney, our products are built to last.

Some competitors may not understand the nuances of extrusion composition and performance, mistakenly suggesting that uPVC in window frames is similar to the Polyethylene in shopping bags. We have never received a complaint about melting, and to prove our confidence, we offer test samples for your experimentation.

We trust our customers are discerning individuals who can differentiate between anecdotal claims and factual evidence. Our consultants maintain integrity and high professional standards, ensuring you receive only the best and most appropriate products.
