Unplasticised PVC, usually called uPVC, is used to make pipes and window frames.
because it can hole on longer
PVC is widely used in water pipes, irrigation pipes, irrigation boxes and in window frames.
Because they are easier to make and adequately strong. There is no point making them solid.
it is strong enough to hole the pieces together.
Wood, treated and plastic (PVC) coated wood, aluminium and aluminium alloys, polyvinylchloride.
"PVC window frames are a good investment. They help cut down on the energy that is lost through the frames as PVC doesn't conduct heat well. This not only helps cut your energy costs, but is environmentally friendly!"
Sounds like it's worth trying, -good idea .
because it is is waterproof, sticks well and lasts longer! and lets admit it smells pretty better the plastic!! :D
Moisture can lead to wraping and twisting of timber.Maintanace may be required (depending on hardwood/softwood)compared to PVC and metal frames
the properties of PVC are;it is durable - it has to be because it can be used for window framesit is water proofit is impearmable
PVC is the acronym for polyvinylchloride. It is a thermoplastic polymer. It is one of the most commonly used thermoplastic polymers, and is one of the highest revenue-generating products in the chemical industry. It is used to make electric wires, polyvinylchloride (PVC) pipes and unplasticised polyvinylchloride (uPVC) pipes. The most common use of polyvinylchloride (PVC) is to make pipes. The pipes are most commonly used for the purposes of drainage and for protecting or containing the cables in buildings. Unplasticised polyvinylchloride (abbreviated as uPVC) is a low maintenance material. It is used in the construction industry. It is available in a variety of colours and finishes. The photo-effect wood finish of unplasticised polyvinylchloride is used in window frames and window sills as a substitute for painted wood. It is also used as a replacement for older windows which have been installed with a single glazing or while installing double glazing in a new building.
