UPVC Profiles refers to PVC profiles used to make doors and windows, which appeared in Germany as early as the late 1950s. The plastic steel profile is made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin as the main raw material, plus a certain proportion of stabilizers, colorants, fillers, ultraviolet absorbers, etc., which are formed by extrusion.
Because doors and windows processed with PVC profiles are not strong enough, steel is usually added to the cavity to enhance the firmness of the doors and windows. Therefore, plastic doors and windows made of steel with steel inside the profiles are usually called plastic-steel doors and windows. With the widespread use of plastic steel doors and windows, the PVC profiles used to make plastic steel doors and windows are customarily called UPVC Profiles. Plastic steel is also used as a common material for guardrails.
About the development of UPVC Profiles. European-style profiles are the mainstream in the market, but American-style profiles are developing rapidly. This is driven by some plastic steel profile manufacturers exporting to the United States. Because of its lively, beautiful, exquisite structure, fine lines, extremely decorative, high daylighting rate, and high perspective rate, American-style sliding windows have been deeply loved by consumers. The colored profiles change the monotonous white of the plastic steel doors and windows in the past, and can match the overall color of the building. The market share of colored profiles is rising rapidly, especially in some high-end residential quarters.
