uPVC, also known as Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride, is widely used as an alternative to wood and aluminum in the fabrication of frames for doors and windows. 

The uPVC frames or profiles were first used in Europe in the 1970s. It gained popularity as a replacement for aluminium windows since aluminium windows were susceptible to condensation. uPVC windows are currently used widely as uPVC is a rigid and durable material. uPVC is also non-toxic and can handle extreme temperatures well. 

The uPVC profiles do not transmit atmospheric temperatures inside, as they are designed compartments that reduce the transfer of coldness, heat, and noise. The compartments inside uPVC profiles are usually reinforced with galvanized steel which improves their structural strength, energy efficiency, durability, and safety. uPVC profiles normally have multi-point locking systems that enhance their security. They can also be installed with meshes or grills for additional safety.
