Why Choose uPVC? The Definitive Upgrade for Auckland Joinery
uPVC is the global standard for energy-efficient windows, used in over 80% of European homes. It offers a level of thermal performance, security, and durability that traditional materials like aluminium and timber cannot match, making it the smartest long-term investment for a healthier, warmer, and drier New Zealand home.
Warmer: Non-Conductive Frame & Seals
The natural properties of uPVC make it ideal for thermal regulation, ensuring your house stays warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Combining uPVC’s natural insulating properties with double-glazed windows achieves thermal insulation levels that far exceed even thermally broken aluminium – and at a very competitive price. uPVC is non-conductive, meaning it acts as a thermal insulator, eliminating cold spots and preventing condensation. The frames feature multiple compression seals that create an airtight barrier, preventing heat loss from draughts and contributing significantly to the overall system R-Value. Our aluplast uPVC doors offer these same superior thermal benefits.
Secure: Steel Reinforcement & Locking
For a safer, more secure home, our aluplast uPVC joinery employs an advanced integrated multi-point locking mechanism. The lock engages at multiple points along the frame… The uPVC frame is steel reinforced for added rigidity, and the double-glazed windows can be laminated, making them extremely difficult to break.
Durable: Low Maintenance Performance
Our uPVC profiles are built to withstand 40 years or more in New Zealand conditions. The frames are highly durable, UV stabilized, and require zero maintenance—uPVC won’t rot, rust, or corrode, and does not require painting. Unlike aluminium and timber, uPVC cannot be deformed by moisture or changes in temperature, ensuring long-term aesthetic and functional performance with minimal upkeep.
Quieter: Multi-Chambered Noise Reduction
The uPVC frames act as an extremely effective sound barrier, in addition to their thermal insulation properties. When combined with double-glazing, the multi-chambered frame and compression seals create an effective sound barrier, with overseas testing measuring sound reductions of up to 38dB. This is perfect for homes near busy roads or city centres, ensuring your home is not only warmer but significantly quieter too.
Eco-Friendly: Energy-Efficiency and Recyclability
Being such an effective thermal insulator, aluplast uPVC windows and doors make your home more energy-efficient by reducing your reliance on heating/cooling. The material itself is recyclable in Europe, supporting a circular economy. Our German supplier aluplast utilises recycled uPVC for internal components of their joinery, and as the market grows, we expect to see uPVC recycling local to New Zealand.
