Here’s How uPVC Doors and Windows Make Homes More Secure
by Fenesta Windows Better By DesignTo 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.
