When building or renovating a home in India, choosing the right windows is one of the most important decisions. Windows impact ventilation, energy efficiency, noise insulation, comfort, and long-term durability—and this is exactly where uPVC windows have transformed the Indian fenestration industry.
Astrapia uPVC brings this definitive guide to help homeowners, architects, and builders make a confident and informed decision.
What Are uPVC Windows?
uPVC (Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride) is a rigid, stable, weather-resistant material used globally for premium window systems. Unlike wood and aluminium, uPVC does not corrode, warp, fade, or crack, even under harsh Indian climatic conditions.
Key properties include:
- High thermal insulation
- Excellent noise reduction
- Weather & UV resistance
- Termite-proof and corrosion-free
- Long lifespan with minimal maintenance
This makes uPVC the most preferred window material for modern Indian homes.
Why uPVC Windows Are Ideal for Indian Climate
India deals with monsoons, dust storms, high humidity, severe heat, and urban noise. uPVC windows outperform other materials in each of these areas.
✔ Heat Protection in Summers
Multi-chambered uPVC profiles reduce heat gain by up to 30–40%, helping interiors stay cooler.
✔ Noise Reduction for City Living
With the right glass, uPVC windows cut noise by up to 38 dB, ideal for homes near highways, airports, and traffic zones.
✔ Leak-Proof Performance During Monsoons
Astrapia’s windows feature:
- Double sealing
- Precision drainage systems
- Wind-load tested hardware
to ensure zero water seepage.
✔ Dust Protection for Indian Cities
