The benefits of uPVC
The Building Research Establishment (BRE) has given PVC-U a reference service life of 35 years and the British Standards Institute suggest that this extends to in excess of 40 years when the PVC-U profile is manufactured to accredited standards.
Given that research shows that each PVC-U product can be recycled more than 10 times and still maintain performance, through the recycling process, PVC-U has a total life span of up to 400 years, making its credentials as a sustainable material unquestionable.
What's more, working closely with Dekura, a dedicated waste collection and size reduction company, we are able to ensure the economic and efficient recycling of PVC-U, including our own PVC-U waste.
Once reprocessed, the PVC materials are re-used into a wide range of long life building products including RCM a recycled composite reinforcing material which is incorporated in our Thermseal range of energy rated windows.
