Stands up to weather
uPVC does not absorb water, so profiles do not swell, warp or rot through monsoon rain and humidity.
Why uPVC?
What makes unplasticised PVC such a practical material for windows and doors, and how the different profiles fit together.
The material
Built for heat, rain and everyday use.
uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is a rigid, stable plastic. Extruded into multi-chamber profiles, it makes frames that shrug off the things that wear out timber and steel.
No rust, no corrosion
Unlike steel sections, uPVC is not affected by moisture or salty air, which suits bathrooms, kitchens and exposed elevations.
Termite-proof
There is nothing in uPVC for termites or fungus to feed on, a common worry with timber frames.
Helps keep heat out
uPVC is a poor conductor of heat, and multi-chamber sections add insulating air pockets. With the right glass and seals, rooms stay more comfortable.
Quieter interiors
Properly fabricated uPVC windows close tightly against their seals, which helps cut down traffic and street noise.
Easy to live with
No painting or polishing. An occasional wipe with mild soapy water is usually all a uPVC frame needs.
Fabricator-friendly
Profiles are cut, welded and assembled with standard uPVC fabrication machinery into casement, sliding and ventilator designs.
Recyclable material
uPVC is a thermoplastic, which means it can be reprocessed and recycled at the end of its service life.
These are general properties of uPVC as a material. How a finished window performs also depends on the glass, hardware, reinforcement and the quality of fabrication and installation.
How it goes together
One window, several profiles.
A finished uPVC window is assembled from a handful of different sections, each doing a specific job. That is why the range is organised by category.
- Outer frame is fixed into the wall opening. On a sliding window it carries the tracks.
- Sashes are the shutters that hold the glass and open by sliding or swinging.
- Interlocks and mullions close the joint between sliding sashes and divide larger frames.
- Beads clip in last to hold the glass in place.
Glossary
Profile terms in plain language.
New to uPVC sections? Here is what each category in our range is for.
- Outer Profiles
- Outer frames form the fixed perimeter of a window or door and are anchored into the wall opening. On sliding systems the outer frame also carries the parallel tracks that the sashes run along.
- Casement Profiles
- Casement sash profiles make up the openable, hinged shutter of a casement window. The sash holds the glass and closes against the outer frame.
- Sliding Profiles
- Sliding sash profiles form the moving shutters of a sliding window. They hold the glass and travel along the tracks of the outer frame.
- Door Profiles
- Door sash profiles are larger sections intended for the taller, heavier shutters of sliding doors.
- Ventilator Profiles
- Ventilator profiles are compact frame sections used for ventilators and other small openings.
- Mesh Profiles
- Mesh sash profiles are slim sections that carry an insect mesh (fly screen) shutter alongside the glazed sashes.
- Beading Profiles
- Glazing beads clip into the sash or frame once the glass is set, holding it securely in place and finishing the edge.
- Accessories
- Accessory profiles complete the window system: mullions divide a frame into separate sections, and interlocks close the joint where sliding sashes meet.
- 2, 2.5 and 3 track
- The number of parallel tracks on a sliding outer frame. A 2.5 track frame is commonly used for two glazed sashes plus a mesh sash on the half track.
Questions
Frequently asked.
About uPVC, our range and how to order.
What does TITANIUM do?
We do both: we manufacture uPVC windows and sliding doors to your requirement, and we supply the raw material, uPVC profiles in 5.8 m lengths, to fabricators and builders.
Do you make windows and doors to my sizes?
Yes. Windows and sliding doors are made to order, so the size, the type (sliding or casement), the number of shutters, the colour, and extras such as a mesh shutter or a grill can be customised. Tell us what you need and we will quote for it. You can try the options in our 3D view.
Which colours are available?
Glacier White, Titanium Grey, Espresso Brown and Premium Matte Black. Please confirm the finish when you enquire.
Which profiles do you supply?
The current range has 17 profiles across 8 categories: outer frames, casement and sliding sashes, door sashes, ventilator frames, mesh sashes, glazing beads, mullions and interlocks. Every profile is listed with its code on our Products page.
What length do the profiles come in?
Profiles are supplied in 5.8 m lengths.
How do I get a price?
We do not publish prices on the website. Send us the profile codes and quantities you need on WhatsApp, or call us, and we will share a quote.
What do 2 track, 2.5 track and 3 track mean?
They describe the number of parallel tracks on a sliding outer frame. More tracks allow more sliding shutters; a 2.5 track frame is commonly used for two glazed sashes plus a mesh sash on the half track. If you are unsure which frame suits your design, tell us what you are building and we will point you to the right profile.
Why choose uPVC for windows and doors?
uPVC does not rot, rust or attract termites, needs no painting, and insulates well against heat and noise when windows are fabricated with suitable glass and seals. See Why uPVC for more.
How are uPVC frames maintained?
Very simply: wipe the frames with mild soapy water and a soft cloth from time to time. Avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents.
