Window and Door Frame Market, By Material

uPVC window and door frame market share in 2015 and is expected to grow at a high rate over the coming years. The material is the most preferable raw material in the industry owing to its light weight feature and need for low maintenance in comparison with aluminum and wood. uPVC offers better thermal insulation in comparison with aluminum and can successfully resist the transmission of cold and hot temperatures inside and outside of the infrastructure.
 

Minimal contraction and expansion of uPVC is making it durable for usage in the frames and is also retaining the glass holding capacity. These frames are resistant to corrosion and do not require painting. In case of fire, these frames are self-extinguishing and have lower softening temperature as compared to aluminum and wood thereby permitting easy escape by pushing out the glass easily. In addition, the material offers good level of insulation against outside noises owing to which the market is expanding.
