UPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) window fabrication work involves the process of manufacturing windows from UPVC material, a type of plastic that is widely recognized for its durability, weather resistance, and low maintenance. UPVC has become a popular choice for windows in residential and commercial buildings due to its numerous advantages over traditional materials like wood or aluminum.
Key Steps in UPVC Window Fabrication Work:
Design and Measurement: The first step involves designing the window according to customer specifications and measuring the dimensions where the window will be installed.
Cutting the UPVC Profiles: UPVC profiles, which are pre-made frames, are cut according to the window dimensions using precision cutting machines to ensure accuracy.
Welding: The cut profiles are then welded together at the corners to create the window frame and sash structures. This process is typically done using a specialized welding machine that ensures strong, clean joints.
Cleaning: After welding, the frames undergo a cleaning process to remove any excess material from the welding, ensuring a smooth finish.
Assembly: Hardware components such as hinges, locks, and handles are installed. The glass panes are also fitted into the frame during this stage. The assembly process requires precision to ensure that the window functions correctly.
Quality Check: Each window is subjected to a quality control process to check for any defects in welding, assembly, or functionality to ensure that it meets the specified standards.
Packing and Dispatch: Once approved, the windows are carefully packed to prevent damage during transportation and dispatched to the installation site.
Advantages of UPVC Window Fabrication:
Durability: UPVC windows are known for their long life and resistance to weathering, corrosion, and UV radiation, making them last for decades without significant wear.
Energy Efficiency: UPVC windows provide excellent insulation against heat and cold, contributing to energy savings by reducing the need for heating and cooling.
Low Maintenance: Unlike wood, UPVC does not rot, warp, or require repainting, making it very easy to maintain.
Security: UPVC windows can be equipped with advanced locking mechanisms, offering a higher level of security.
Noise Reduction: They are effective in reducing noise pollution, making them ideal for homes in busy areas.
Eco-Friendly: UPVC can be recycled and reused, making it an environmentally friendly option for window fabrication.
