UPVC Profiles is abbreviated as plastic steel, and its main chemical composition is PVC, so it is also called PVC profile. It is a new type of building material that is widely used. Because of its excellent physical properties such as rigidity, elasticity, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance, it is usually used as a good substitute for non-ferrous metals such as copper, zinc, and aluminum.
UPVC Profiles is mainly used in the application of sliding, side-hung doors and windows, guardrails, pipes and ceiling materials in housing construction. It is also widely used in automobile engine protection panels through new process processing. It is not only light in weight, but also good in toughness and rigidity. Its excellent properties are sometimes referred to as alloy steel.
The reason why UPVC Profiles can be widely promoted and applied and gradually replaced wooden and aluminum doors and windows is inseparable from its unique advantages. Compared with aluminum and wooden doors and windows, plastic steel doors and windows have the following advantages:
1. The price is cheap, and the price of plastic is much lower than that of aluminum with the same strength and lifespan. This advantage becomes more and more obvious due to the sharp increase in the price of metal.
2. Rich colors: the application of colored plastic steel profiles adds a lot of beauty to the building. In the past, wooden doors and windows were used. In order to achieve harmony between doors and windows and the appearance of the building, paint was sprayed on the surface of the doors and windows. The paint was prone to aging and peeling when exposed to ultraviolet light. Later, colored aluminum doors and windows were invented, but they were expensive, and ordinary consumers could not afford them. The use of plastic doors and windows solves this problem, and the color film profiles can even make a real wood grain effect.
3. Durable and durable: adding reinforced steel into the profile cavity greatly improves the strength of the profile, and has the effects of earthquake resistance and wind erosion resistance. In addition, the multi-cavity structure of the profile and the independent drainage cavity prevent water from entering the reinforced steel cavity, avoiding the corrosion of the steel, and improving the service life of doors and windows. The addition of anti-ultraviolet components also improves the weather resistance of plastic steel profiles, and can be used with confidence even in tropical areas with strong ultraviolet rays.
4. Good heat preservation performance: The thermal conductivity of the plastic steel profile itself is far less than that of the aluminum profile. In addition, the design of the multi-cavity structure achieves the effect of heat insulation. Studies have shown that the indoor temperature of the same type of room using plastic steel doors and windows in summer is 5-7°C lower than that of aluminum doors and windows on average, and it is 8-15°C higher in different areas in winter.
5. Good sound insulation performance: The sound insulation performance of plastic-steel doors and windows with well-sealed insulating glass. Sound insulation has become the main condition for choosing doors and windows, especially in residential areas in downtown areas. Plastic-steel doors and windows are assembled using welding technology, coupled with a closed multi-cavity structure, which has a very obvious effect on noise shielding.
