uPVC is a very durable material used in water and sewer pipes for at least 100 years. Vinyl windows are so durable that the vast majority of them installed over the past 25 years are still in use. Good quality uPVC windows and doors are tested for ultraviolet resistance to ensure they won’t fade in the harsh sun….
uPVC window frames don’t need painting or sealing which significantly reduces the maintenance required over their lifetime. They are easily cleaned with water and detergent. uPVC does not rot and is resistant to corrosion.
