uPVC doors have a clear advantage over other doors when it comes to providing ample security for a household. Doors and windows made of uPVC would make your home a safer place for your loved ones.
The doors and windows serve as the main entry points into a home. As such, it is imperative to design them in a way that they offer maximum security. It is also important that the material chosen to make these doors and windows is extremely robust and secure. uPVC is one such material that can make your windows and casement doors in India, more secure. Here are some of the security benefits you can enjoy with uPVC doors and windows.
Durable and long-lasting doors and windows are often the most secure ones. uPVC windows and doors are highly durable and long-lasting. uPVC is short form for un-plasticized polyvinyl chloride, which is an industrial polymer commonly used in the construction industry. As such, it is made to require minimal maintenance.
In Delhi, uPVC doors are preferred as they are weatherproof and can withstand harsh weather elements. They are not affected by the UV rays of the sun as well and thus, do not fade with time. These doors and windows also stand the test of time against the wind, rain, dust, etc. When compared to wood that gets damaged by rain, humidity and termites, uPVC can easily resist these elements. Unlike aluminium frames which tend to degrade over time, uPVC door and window frames are corrosion resistant.
uPVC windows and casement doors are also very secure when it comes to the type of glass they are fitted with. The special glass fitted in between these frames is burglar-proof and impact resistant to a great extent. uPVC door and window frames make use of two different types of security glasses based on client requirements. While one of them is glazed, laminated and impact-resistant glass, the other one is a high-grade tempered glass.
The heat tempering process makes high grade tempered glass a lot stronger than normal annealed glass. Heat tempered glass will also break into several tiny pieces when shattered, thus not causing any injury to anyone inside the house. Added to this is the PVB interlayer, which plays the role of a shock absorption layer and helps to keep the glass on the windows and uPVC doors from breaking on sudden impacts.
uPVC casement doors and windows also come with several enhanced locking mechanisms, which makes it hard to break into homes. uPVC windows and doors usually come with several high-security locks, which are fitted onto the steel frame of the doors and windows itself. This makes these doors and windows airtight with double glazed glass offering noise reduction and thermal insulation features. An additional security feature is the addition of galvanized steel reinforcements to make the doors and windows highly secure and impenetrable. If the need arises, homeowners can opt for the multi or single point locking system, which allows them to enjoy an even higher level of security and privacy.
