How will NK uPVC's window make my home more energy efficient?
Energy Window Thermal Transmittance GraphRecycling waste materials without compromising the technical performance of the end product is also a valuable achievement. In the PVC industry, like other forward thinking industries such as glass and metals, both the end of life and manufacturing process waste materials are routinely recycled to eradicate any unnecessary waste.

The nature of the glass has an important bearing, especially the perimeter spacer bar, the presence or absence of gas, and the emissivity and clarity of the glass, and the effect all these points have on solar gain and heat retention.

NK uPVC Products now lead the industry in combining an optimum arrangement of thermoplastics recyclate being used in a unique encapsulation process for reinforcement.

Thermlock®. This delivers strength and additional insulation without corrupting performance!
