BENEFITS OF PVC

Beauty & Design
Christoffel uPVC window systems offer the most varied styles and designs. The technical limitations of the past have been overcome and today's uPVC windows and doors can be fitted into any type of property from residential houses and apartments to commercial buildings such as hotels, hospitals and modem office blocks. With their great versatility, Christoffel uPVC windows and doors will satisfy any taste in style and design and have proven to be the best material even for the restoration of historical buildings.

Weather Resistance
More than any other building material, Christoffel uPVC windows and doors keep their excellent material properties even after many years in use. As a matter of fact, they do not alter under extreme temperatures or weathering. Thanks to the uPVC profiles, they show no negative effects caused by heavy rain, snow, strong sun or smog. They do not rot, corrode nor warp even after many years, the windows are still attractive, perfectly tight and working well.

Maximum Wind Resistance
Due to their excellent material properties, Christoffel uPVC windows and doors are ideal for being installed in buildings close to the sea where they are permanently exposed to strong wind, heavy rain, and salty air. The windows have passed several tests by official institutions.

Long Life
Thanks to modem technology, Christoffel uPVC windows and doors will practically last forever. For this reason they are an excellent investment for you home, as they do not involve any future maintenance costs. Furthermore, combined with modem thermal insulation glass, Christoffel uPVC profiles will help to achieve a sustainable energy saving effect and are therefore an even better investment.

Efficient Thermal insulation
No matter in which climate Christoffel uPVC windows and doors are installed - they contribute to a cosy and comfortable atmosphere in your home. As the design of the system prevents thermal bridging, the thermal insulating performance of the finished window is exceptionally good. The Glazing is also of utmost importance for good thermal values, also contributing to a substantial energy saving.

High Acoustic Insulation
The protection against noise is an essential characteristic of a modem window in order to ensure a comfortable life both at home and in the office. Sound insulation in the Christoffel profile design is inherently good. It is further enhanced by fitting reinforcing and by choosing the appropriate glass.

Protection Against Burglary
High-strength window and door profiles made of uPVC offer the best solution for increased safety. Special fittings and glazing, qualified window fabrication and expert installation make the window worthy of being termed "burglar-proof'.

Fire Resistance
Fire tests have shown that Christoffel uPVC materials, being naturally flame retardant throughout their product life, will not cause, support or enhance the development of accidental fire. Unlike timber windows, the uPVC sections do not support combustion are in fact self extinguishing.

Environmental Advantages
The extrusion process of uPVC window and door profiles is relatively energy efficient, compared with other materials. Another benefit: Where uPVC has been specified as an alternative to wood, the rate of consumption of forests is slowed. uPVC window and door systems are environmentally friendly as they can be fully recycled and reused for the production of uPVC profiles.
