uPVC frames are highly resistant to salinity, moisture, fungus, and rust, even without weatherproofing. This quality ensures that your windows and doors won’t deteriorate, rust, or peel, which is crucial for enduring the Australian climate.
Easy Maintenance
uPVC is incredibly easy to maintain, requiring minimal effort to keep your windows and doors in pristine condition. Unlike timber and aluminium, there’s no need for special substances or treatments; a simple clean with soapy water does the trick.
Durability
