uPVC stands for Unplasticised Polyvinyl Chloride. Essentially, a uPVC door is made from this material. It's a type of plastic that's strong, durable, and weather-resistant, making it a popular choice for external doors.

For core strength, manufacturers use a steel frame. They then encase this steel frame in uPVC material. Moreover, the outer layer can be designed to mimic different styles, like wood grain.

Key benefits of uPVC doors include:

• Durability: uPVC doors resist weather conditions and don't rot or warp like wood.
• Low maintenance: They are easy to clean and don't require painting or staining.
• Security: You can fit them with high-security locks.
• Thermal efficiency: They help keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer.
• Cost-effectiveness: Generally, uPVC doors are more affordable than other door materials.
• Versatility: uPVC is water-resistant, color-stable, and resistant to knocks and scratches.
• Customization: They offer a vast number of styles, glass designs, and colors to choose from, along with a wide choice of handles, letterplates, and door knockers.
