Casement Doors UPVC

Casement doors, a close relative of French doors, are hinged doors that swing open to the side, either inwards or outwards. They are a popular choice for their simplicity and functionality, providing a clear, wide opening to the outdoors. Often featuring a large glass panel, they are designed to let in a significant amount of natural light.

When made from uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), these doors offer a perfect combination of classic design and modern performance. The uPVC material is highly durable, weather-resistant, and requires very little maintenance, making it a practical alternative to timber or aluminum. Modern uPVC casement doors are also fitted with advanced multi-point locking systems for enhanced security and are highly energy-efficient, thanks to their multi-chambered frame design.

Advantages of uPVC Casement Doors

 

The advantages of uPVC casement doors come from their practical design combined with the benefits of a modern material.

• Ease of Use: The simple hinged mechanism makes these doors very easy to open and close, providing a familiar and reliable functionality.
• Excellent Ventilation: When opened, casement doors allow for a full, unobstructed flow of air, which is great for ventilating a room and bringing in fresh air.
• High Security: Modern uPVC casement doors are designed to be very secure. They are often equipped with multi-point locking systems that engage at several points along the frame, making them difficult to force open.
• Superior Energy Efficiency: The uPVC material’s multi-chambered design, combined with double-glazing, offers excellent thermal insulation. This helps to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, potentially lowering your energy bills.
• Low Maintenance: Unlike wooden doors that require regular painting or varnishing, uPVC is a highly durable and weather-resistant material that will not rot, rust, or peel. It only requires a simple wipe-down to stay in good condition.
• Abundant Natural Light: The large glass panes are designed to maximize the amount of sunlight that enters a room, making the space feel more open and brighter.
