What is the standard size of UPVC profiles?

Hey there! As a supplier of UPVC profiles, I often get asked about the standard size of these profiles. So, I thought I'd take a moment to break it down for you.

First off, what exactly are UPVC profiles? UPVC stands for Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride. It's a type of rigid plastic that's commonly used in the construction industry for things like windows, doors, and even some interior fittings. The reason it's so popular is that it's durable, low - maintenance, and energy - efficient.

Now, let's talk about the standard sizes. There isn't a one - size - fits - all answer when it comes to UPVC profiles because different applications require different dimensions.

Window Profiles

For windows, the width of UPVC profiles can range from about 58mm to 82mm. The 58mm profiles are usually on the slimmer side and are often used in budget - friendly window installations. They're great for areas where space isn't a huge concern and you're looking for a basic, functional window.

On the other hand, the 82mm profiles are more robust. They offer better insulation and security features. These wider profiles can accommodate thicker glass panes, which helps in reducing heat transfer and noise from the outside. For example, if you live in a noisy area or a region with extreme weather conditions, the 82mm profiles would be a better choice.

The height of window profiles can vary widely depending on the design and size of the window. Standard window heights can be anywhere from 900mm to 2100mm. Smaller windows, like those in bathrooms or utility rooms, might be around 900mm - 1200mm in height. Larger picture windows or those in living rooms could be up to 2100mm tall.

Door Profiles

When it comes to doors, there are different types, and each has its own standard sizes.

Let's start with the PVC Plastic Swing Door. These doors typically have a profile width of around 70mm - 80mm. The width of the door itself can range from 700mm to 900mm for single swing doors. Double swing doors can be anywhere from 1400mm to 1800mm wide. The height of swing doors is usually around 2000mm - 2100mm, which is a standard height to ensure easy passage for most people.

UPVC Sliding Door profiles are a bit different. The profile width is often in the range of 60mm - 75mm. The width of a single sliding door panel can be around 600mm - 900mm, and for double or multi - panel sliding doors, the total width can go up to several meters depending on the space available. The height of sliding doors is also commonly around 2000mm - 2100mm.

UPVC Soundproof Flush Door profiles are designed to reduce noise. They usually have a slightly thicker profile, around 80mm - 90mm, to accommodate the sound - insulating materials. The width of these doors can be similar to swing doors, from 700mm to 900mm for single doors, and the height is around 2000mm - 2100mm.

Factors Affecting Size Choice

There are several factors that should influence your choice of UPVC profile size.

Insulation Requirements: If you want to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, you'll need wider profiles that can hold thicker glass and insulation materials. This will help in reducing your energy bills.

Security: Thicker profiles generally offer better security. They're more difficult to break into, which is an important consideration, especially for ground - floor windows and doors.

Aesthetics: The size of the profiles can also affect the overall look of your building. You want the windows and doors to fit in with the style of your home or office. For a modern, minimalist look, you might prefer slimmer profiles, while a more traditional building might look better with wider, more substantial profiles.
