PVC and uPVC are two vinyl materials used in the construction industry thanks to their durability and flexibility. However, despite what you may see online, PVC is not used to make doors due to its chemical composition. PVC is more commonly used for siding and fencing, whereas uPVC is used for windows and doors.
UPVC is much more durable than PVC. UPVC doesn’t contain phthalates or BPA, making it a safer product for the environment, while still maintaining the benefits of a vinyl patio door frame.
