Upvc for modern homes
Whether designing a residential,
commercial or institutional building, architects and owners carefully consider
the qualities and long-term advantages of fenestration materials. Windows and
doors provide essential protection and architectural character to a building
and also adhere to various owner-driven requirements including aesthetics,
cost, performance, maintenance and life cycle. Earlier, windows and doors in
residential and commercial constructions in India were merely looked at as
apertures in the wall, and traditionally made of mild steel, wood or aluminum
and simple float glass apart from some basic hardware such as handles,
shoot-bolts, hinges, etc. However, windows have come a long way from being
insignificant to being recognized as the single most important area in the
envelope or shell of the building for preventing energy loss and providing
in-habitat comfort. Wood as the mainstay for doors and windows is fast making
way for uPVC frames in most of the new, big residential projects, a switch to an
eco-friendly alternative that requires little maintenance too.
As we are aware and is also a the proven
fact that upvc doors
and upvc windows have several
intangible benefits over their counterparts as they are fire, wind, and
moisture resistant, aesthetic, long lasting, thermally and acoustically
insulated, and can be customized according to individual requirements. It is a
low thermal conductive material and is proved to prevent loss of energy by up
to 30-35% and also prevents thermal bridging, thus avoiding condensation unlike
aluminum. uPVC never rots, flakes, rusts, fades, pits, peels or corrodes. It
needs only a light soapy wash and a check of the seals for maintenance.
Globally, the uPVC window and upvc door system market share ranges
from 60-80% in most countries while the predominant material of construction in
India is still timber (in rural and in upper end constructions), mild steel (in
low cost housing) and aluminum (in urban constructions). The Indian window and
door market was around INR 13000 crore in year 2013-14 and the market share of
uPVC windows and door profiles share was about 6-7%. However, growing awareness
about the benefits of uPVC and demographic factors like rapid urbanization,
growing concern about energy efficiency,
regulatory changes and aging building stock in the country is expected to
change the fortunes of the uPVC windows and doors market in the country. A
United Nations report suggests that the number of Indian citizens living in
urban areas will reach 900 million by 2050 amounting to 55% of its population.
Massive construction is underway to respond to this urbanization. It has been
estimated that the total built space in India would increase five-fold from
2005 to 2030, and by then more than 60% of the commercial built space would be
air-conditioned. Over the next 10-15 years, the share of uPVC is expected to
grow over 30% in both new and replacement sales, majorly fueled by the large,
high rise apartment projects in urban cities.
Primarily the market is growing due to
the fast growing awareness of uPVC
products, more and more people and getting to know about the benefits of UPVC
and have started demanding for good quality uPVC systems.
UPVC
door and windows are long term investment in a home. So you need to be very
clear on which profile to buy as the market is already flooded with large
number of players offering upvc Products.
Characteristics
of good upvc windows & Doors
• Good quality of UPVC meet an international standard and are strictly
inspected and go through various tests to ensure a quality which is acceptable
around the world.
• The profile produced in Europe must not contain lead (which is toxic) as it
is prohibited by EU, while profiles produced in India are not subjected to EU
norms. So, in India, uPVC
profiles are often contaminated with hazardous substance like lead. Majority of
uPVC profiles don’t meet the standard, however, India’s leading UPVC brand like
ENCRAFT is an exception.
• Premium uPVC manufacturer uses a formulation that meets the weather conditions in
India. The right levels of all components are critical. “Titanium dioxide”
provides the UV stability
and therefore colourfastness for the white profile. This compound protects
windows and doors from discolouring. Titanium has a very high price. Premium
uPVC window producers use the right amount of Titanium, that’s why premium uPVC
windows are priced high.
• The complete manufacturing process of profiles produced by ENCRAFT is
controlled by established process control. Therefore, the proportion of
formulation in all profile will have the same standard.
