Sustainability
Recyclability, long life expectancy, low maintenance, low thermal transfer and good insulation properties can be summarized in the word “sustainability”. With the changing climate and a growing awareness for the environmental problems of our time, sustainability has become an attribute of major importance. In this regard, the advantages of plastic windows compared to other materials are very apparent.

Compatibility
One of the major strengths of some uPVC window systems is the compatibility of different components such as main profiles and additional profiles, e.g. glazing beads, extension profiles, gaskets etc.
How important this compatibility is will first of all be noticed by the window fitter when processing the profiles. Fewer types of different profiles need to be stored and tool settings remain the same, even when processing window profiles with different profile depth. This simplifies warehousing and handling of the profiles and in the end also saves money, also for end customers.

Low Maintenance
Only little maintenance is required once the window is installed. Furthermore, cleaning the uPVC window is no problem at all as dust and dirt can easily be removed from the even, hygienic uPVC surface. The most important argument compared to wooden windows is that the uPVC surface does not need to be repainted. This saves work, time and money.

Expectancy of Life
The expectancy of life of uPVC windows is about 30 years. It is worth mentioning, that during this time, these windows hardly require any maintenance.

Recycling of uPVC Windows
uPVC windows are almost a 100% recyclable. A growing number of countries have already established well organised collection systems with state-of-the-art recycling units to recycle the window frame material. Reprocessing closes the circle between dismantled old windows and new window profiles. uPVC windows are ecologically sound. When the material is recycled, they conserve resources and save disposal costs.
