uPVC Windows

 

The journey of uPVC window production at WindoStyle begins with a series of precise stages that ensure a strong, insulated product with a long lifespan. High-quality uPVC materials are first selected, then accurately cut using the latest cutting machines to ensure dimensional accuracy. Next, internal reinforcement bundles made of galvanized steel are prepared, which are essential for the window’s strength and resistance to wind and pressure.

 

  • Profiles: Made from uPVC (unplasticized polyvinyl chloride), making them lightweight and rust-resistant.
  • Glass: Single or double, often double-glazed, enhancing insulation.
  • Reinforcements: Galvanized steel is used to strengthen and support the profile, increasing its durability.

The following are the steps for manufacturing a uPVC window and the machines used:

Stages of uPVC Window Manufacturing

_

Stage (1): Cutting uPVC Profiles

_
الخطوة الأولى في صناعة شباك uPVC هي عملية قص القطاعات سواء كانت (الحلق – الضلفة – السقاس – البوكلير – ضلفة السلك ) في عملية تصنيع الواجهات و الأبواب والشبابيك الـ UPVC

The first step in uPVC window manufacturing is cutting the profiles, whether (frame – sash – transom – buckler – mesh sash) in the production of facades, doors, and uPVC windows, and therefore:

 

  • We pay close attention to the precise measurements of the wall opening, on which uPVC windows, doors, and uPVC facades are installed.
  • We share with the client the most suitable design drawings according to the wall opening size to maximize its benefit. There are also flexible options based on each client’s needs and budget.
  • The accuracy of profile corner cutting has a very important impact on achieving high-quality uPVC windows and doors with excellent performance.
  • The saw blade and operating platform must be kept dry and clean, otherwise it will affect the subsequent processing performance in uPVC window manufacturing when cutting the uPVC window frame.

Stage (2): Drilling Drainage Holes

_
نهتم دائما بأن تتمتع شبابيك وأبواب الـ UPVC لدينا بأداء جيد فيما يتعلق بمشاكل مياه الأمطار أو أي مياه تتعرض لها. وهذا يجعلنا في Windostyle

We always ensure that our uPVC windows and doors perform well against rainwater or any water exposure. This makes us at Windostyle:

 

  • We provide the necessary drainage openings to allow water to exit, while also creating a pressure-balancing hole on the profiles to ensure smooth water flow according to the location and function of each hole.
  • The holes include internal drainage openings, internal pressure-balancing openings, and external drainage openings.

Where and how many holes should we create?

 

We must clearly know where to create the water drainage and pressure-balancing holes, and how many are needed, during the uPVC window manufacturing process.

Before we begin, we must know the areas where holes should not be made.

>>> Some key points we need to pay attention to

  1. Do not connect the drainage hole and the internal reinforcement steel in the uPVC window. If this happens, rainwater will seep into the main cavity, causing the steel to rust.
  2. The drainage holes should be located at the lowest point of the cavity, as this helps prevent water accumulation inside the profiles.
  3. There should be a gap between the internal drainage hole and the external drainage hole.

Stage (3): Drilling Accessory Holes

We need to create some accessory mounting holes on the profiles during the uPVC window manufacturing process. These holes are usually made on the window profiles.

 

1- How to create an accessory mounting hole?

There are several methods to create these holes, but we usually use a drilling machine or a standard manufacturing device.

2- What type of accessory mounting hole should we create?

We usually create the lock hole, handle hole, and the special cylinder hole in door manufacturing. These holes can be made using the template on the_

 

We must also drill the hole in the correct position and ensure it is smooth and free of burrs, which is essential for accurate accessory installation.

Stage (4): Reinforcement Steel Installation

Function of Reinforcement Steel 

  • First, to enhance the rigidity and strength of uPVC windows and doors.
  • Second, to prevent deformation and, moreover, to make accessory installation more secure.

Technical Requirements for Reinforcement Steel 

  • The surface of the iron is treated with an anti-corrosion coating or zinc to prevent rusting.

The size and shape of the reinforcement steel.

  • The reinforcement steel is installed inside the main cavity of the profiles in a UPVC window or door.
  • The clearance between the main cavity of the reinforcement steel and the UPVC profiles is 0.51 mm.
  • This gap makes the installation process easier to restore after the window is compressed.
  • The reinforcement steel must be shaped according to the profile cavity and type.

Stage (5): uPVC Profile Welding

تبدأ رحلة انتاج شبابيك uPVC داخل ويندوستايل بمجموعة من المراحل الدقيقة التي تضمن منتجًا قويًا، معزولًا، وعمره الافتراضي طويل. في البداية يتم اختيار خامات uPVC عالية الجودة ثم تقطيعها بدقة باستخدام أحدث ماكينات القص لضمان مطابقة الأبعاد. بعد ذلك يتم تجهيز حزم التدعيم الداخلي المصنوعة من الصاج المجلفن، والتي تُعد عاملًا أساسيًا في قوة الشباك ومقاومته للرياح والضغط.

Do not use nails to assemble the corners of UPVC windows and doors, instead, the ends are thermally welded using a special welding machine under clamp pressure at the same temperature used during profile extrusion, ensuring the welded ends are uniform and form a single piece.

 

This is the opposite for windows made of aluminum or wood, where the window corners are assembled using parts joined with nails, which may be affected during installation or after use.

Stage (6): Cleaning uPVC Profile Corners

After welding, the welded surface will have excess weld buildup in the manufacturing of UPVC windows or doors. To avoid affecting the function and appearance of the window, the corner needs to be cleaned.

After welding, the welded surface will have excess weld buildup in the manufacturing of UPVC windows or doors. To avoid affecting the function and appearance of the window, the corner needs to be cleaned.

 

For casement windows, excess weld buildup will affect the leak resistance between the sash frame and the window frame.

For sliding windows, excess weld buildup on the welded profile will affect the sliding of the sash panels.

 

We clean the visible excess weld on the frame and sash to preserve the aesthetic appearance, prevent leakage, and ensure ease of use for the related accessories.

 

The four sharp corners are cleaned to prevent stress during window assembly and installation, as well as to preserve aesthetics and avoid damage to the handles during opening and closing.

 

Additionally, all weld excesses that affect the appearance and the installation of accessories must be cleaned.

Stage (7): Installing Dust Sealing Sash

UPVC profile weatherstripping is usually installed in sliding UPVC doors and windows. It is a strip of felt used to prevent water and dust from entering.

Stage (8): Installing Accessories

_
ويندوستايل، بصفتنا شركة مصنعة لشبابيك uPVC نراعي الجودة، فإن استخدام اكسسوارات شبابيك uPVC عالية الجودة أمر مهم للغاية.

We select accessory fittings according to the structure and design of the UPVC window, whether it is sliding, casement, or any other type of UPVC window.

 

Windostyle, as a UPVC window manufacturer that prioritizes quality, considers the use of high-quality UPVC window accessories extremely important.

 

UPVC Window Accessories:

 

  • UPVC Window Hinges are used to ensure smooth cooperation between the frame and sash, and to support the weight of the window sash as well as wind pressure. UPVC window hinges are made from UPVC material.
  • UPVC Window Handles are primarily used to open and close UPVC windows and doors. They are selected according to the design of the UPVC window.
  • UPVC Window Espagnolettes are used to lock the window or door at multiple locking points with the use of handles. They are selected according to the design and dimensions of the UPVC window.
  • UPVC Window Rollers are used to move the window or door sash along the frame track. The roller surface must be smooth and free of any defects.
  • UPVC Window Dust Seals are used in sliding windows on the frame or door between the moving sashes to block dust and prevent it from entering.

Stage (9): Glass Installation

يتم تثبيت لينات الزجاج في الضلف التي تحمل الزجاج قبل إدخال الزجاج نفسه. لينات الزجاج عبارة عن قطع من البلاستيك الصلب بطول 3 بوصات (7.6 سم). ندخل قطعة واحدة في الجزء العلوي والسفلي من كل من الضلف الزجاجية التي جاءت مع شباك uPVC.

Glass beads are installed in the sashes that hold the glass before inserting the glass itself. Glass beads are solid plastic pieces, 3 inches (7.6 cm) long. One piece is inserted at the top and bottom of each glass sash that comes with the UPVC window. This ensures that the glass panes fit correctly into the sashes during installation.

 

Available Glass: Single glass, double glass, and insulated glass.

 

Depending on the gas inside the insulated glass, it is classified as either standard glass or double glass filled with inert gas.

Stage (10): Product Inspection and Review

Final Product Inspection in UPVC Window Manufacturing

After assembling the windows, before leaving the factory, some samples must be taken according to the different types and dimensions of the windows.

There are also several other elements that must be inspected before leaving the factory.

1. Corner weld strength.

2. Installation of reinforcement steel.

3. Installation of accessories.

4. Opening and closing force of the lock and handle.

5. Opening and closing force of the sash.

6. Inspect the glass installation and ensure its integrity.

Doors and windows must be placed in well-ventilated areas, protected from rain, and kept dry and level.
  • Doors and windows must be placed in well-ventilated areas, protected from rain, and kept dry and level.
  • In UPVC door and window manufacturing, they must not be stored outdoors or come into contact with corrosive materials.
  • All windows must also be placed vertically according to the installation direction, with the vertical angle not less than 70 degrees. Flat stacking directly on the ground is not allowed.
  • In the manufacturing of windows and doors made of UPVC, the windows must be loaded and unloaded gently.
  • It is very important to arrange the doors properly in the cart when loading windows and doors.
  • We maintain stability to prevent movement and vibration and to avoid contact between the accessories and the glass.
  • We use a soft material to separate the windows and place them vertically in an organized manner.
