Here’s How uPVC Doors and Windows Make Homes More Secure

by Fenesta Windows Better By Design

To complete the overall structure of a building, be it residential or commercial, windows and doors are an absolute necessity. Not only do these enhance the curb appeal but also indoor comfort as well as security.

Traditionally, different materials like wood, aluminium, glass, steel, etc. were used to make doors and windows for residential buildings. However, these days, the polymer uPVC has become the most preferred option for buildings’ doors and windows. This polymer has gained widespread popularity due to its flexibility and weather-resistant properties. However, another very important thing about uPVC is that although flexible, it is also quite strong, and doors and windows made with it offer great security to homes. Moreover, uPVC windows with mosquito mesh and such other additions also help in ensuring that the indoor environment is absolutely safe and energy-efficient.


Here’s more on how uPVC windows and doors make a home secure.

Multi-Point Locking Mechanism

uPVC frames are unbreakable, and the windows too can be easily fitted with the multi-point locking mechanism. This ensures that even if the lock is picked from one side it will not be unlocked. Along with the high-security locking mechanism, these windows can also be fitted with double-paned toughened glass to improve their security.

Fire Safety

Based on several tests that have been performed over the years, uPVC has been found to be a natural fire retardant. uPVC being a flame retardant does not allow the flames to gain strength and spread all over. So, in homes fitted with uPVC doors and windows, there will definitely be less damage if a mishap is to happen.

Internal Beading

uPVC windows these days are either internally or externally beaded. In this process, a strip of wood, plastic or metal is attached to the glass pane so it snuggly holds the panel inside its frame. While earlier some uPVC windows had external beading, for better security, windows these days are fitted with internal beading for better security.

Structural Integrity

uPVC is known for its extreme durability. The polymer is resistant to corrosion and can withstand the vagaries of nature for years together. Also, they do not flake or chip off on exposure to the UV rays of the Sun. So, homeowners can rest assured that the structural integrity of their doors and windows would not diminish with age.

Excellent Sealing

uPVC windows with mosquito mesh as well as other features like silicone sealant further ensure the security of the home interiors from the elements. These windows and doors have fusion-welded joints, multi-chambered profiles as well as air-tight sealing to keep away all kinds of dust, insects, and pollution. The sealing of these windows and doors also helps in noise cancellation keeping the interiors of the home calm.

uPVC windows and doors are designed to ensure that that along with accentuating the curb appeal of the building they can make them secure and absolutely comfortable for the dwellers.
