Faults on windows using PVC-U profiles occur usually in the operating mechanism or the seals, i.e. the components that are not made of PVC. Hence the long term characteristics are determined by the durability, low maintenance and wear characteristics of the components installed into the PVC window frames, and not by those of the frame itself. Since the PVC window frames do not have to be painted with fungicides or protective coatings, no maintenance of the frame is required apart from cleaning. PVC-U can be successfully maintained by following the guidance provided by the British Plastics Federation's Windows Group.
All doors and outer frame arrive ready assembled in a one-piece protective package that is simply positioned and fixed ready for hardware.
