uPVC Extrusions

    What Are uPVC Extrusions?

    uPVC (unplasticised PVC) is rigid PVC without softening plasticisers. uPVC extrusions are stiff, dimensionally stable, weather resistant and low maintenance, which is why the material is used so widely in window systems, cladding trims, drainage components and other building products.

    As uPVC profiles manufacturers we extrude sections to your drawing, from small trims to larger structural profiles. uPVC work sits within our wider PVC extrusions capability.

    Where uPVC Profiles Are Used

    Typical uPVC extrusions include window and door trims, cills and cappings, cloaking profiles, corner sections, drainage channels and glazing components. Because uPVC is rigid it pairs naturally with our rigid plastic extrusions range, and it is one of the materials we regularly supply for the construction industry.

    uPVC Extrusions — Frequently Asked Questions

    What is the difference between PVC and uPVC extrusions?
    uPVC contains no plasticiser, so it is rigid; flexible PVC contains plasticisers that make it soft. Rigid building profiles are uPVC; seals and gaskets are flexible PVC.

    Is uPVC suitable for outdoor use?
    Yes. uPVC is weather resistant and widely used externally, which is why window systems, fascias and trims are typically made from it.

    Can you extrude uPVC profiles to match an existing section?
    Yes. Send a sample or drawing and we will quote for tooling and production of a matching uPVC profile.
