Corrosion Resistance

Our double glazed windows and doors outperform expectations in various harsh environments unsuitable for other materials. The unique properties of uPVC ensure the frame maintains high tensile strength, low thermal conductivity, and excellent chemical and corrosion resistance over a moderate temperature range. Generally, uPVC offers good acid and alkali resistance, excellent vapor barrier properties, and strong UV resistance.

uPVC frames offer many construction benefits due to their corrosion resistance, lightweight characteristics, ease of fabrication, and other labor-saving attributes. Additionally, uPVC frames are highly precise and can be manufactured to a tolerance of +/-3mm, making them perfect for demanding architectural projects. Our energy-efficient uPVC double glazed windows and doors, manufactured in Sydney, are renowned for their superior quality and performance.

Window Factory’s double glazed uPVC windows and doors have a moisture absorption rate of less than 0.1%, unlike timber windows. The specially designed weep holes and weather-stripping provide enhanced water resistance. uPVC is resistant to water damage and humidity, ensuring it remains intact unlike wood. Water infiltration tests demonstrated no water leakage for 15 minutes at 1500 pascals, significantly higher than the 400 pascal requirement. The water flow rate was measured at 0.5 liters/sq m.sec under test conditions. The unique drainage weep holes and weather-stripping system make our window system exceptionally resistant to water infiltration.
