Difference Between PVC and uPVC Doors and Which One to go for

PVC and uPVC doors have gained immense popularity in India in the last decade. They are giving a tough competition to wooden door manufacturers. Today, our discussion will revolve around the difference between PVC and uPVC doors.

If you are thinking about purchasing uPVC doors in Kolkata, make sure to go for an established company.

The fundamental difference between PVC doors and uPVC doors is that unlike PVC doors, there is no plasticizer added in the uPVC doors. uPVC doors are the best fit for the entry and inside doors in the homes which have made quite an impact on the construction industry.

Differences:

1. PVC doors are known to degrade when exposed to harsh sunlight for extended periods compared to uPVC doors, their manufacturing process enhances the resistance to UV rays. The doors made of uPVC material don’t fade, discolour or become brittle and are sunlight friendly.


2. Another difference is uPVC doors are more durable and better equipped for withstanding all weather conditions and seasons.


3. In comparison to PVC doors, uPVC doors are more safe and secure which can be attributed to the fact that they have a galvanized steel core which coupled with durable locking system makes the doors highly secure.


4. The shelf-life of uPVC doors are longer than their counterpart. They last for about 30 years. Investing in these doors will be worth each penny. 


5. uPVC doors are better in terms of strength, owing to their inbuilt multi-point locking system although both PVC doors and uPVC doors are made of a light-weight material.


6. PVC doors are made of brittle vinyl, so they can crack easily. On the other hand, uPVC doors are designed to not face a similar issue.
