What are PVC window and door frames reinforced with?
uPVC windows and doors frames are reinforced with galvanized steel. The actual shape is no more than an "L" or "U" section of thin steel and goes the full length of the profile; it stops several centimeters short so as not to interfere with the welding process and where there are mullion or transom joints, the reinforcement fitted is normally inserted as a full length. Therefore reinforcement is suitable for structural support for bay poles and mullions where a thicker section is used. This is to provide strength and rigidity where frames are to be joined together and to provide a strong fixing ground.
