Summary

This chapter is primarily concerned with the manufacture of windows with frames manufactured from hollow, unplasticised PVC profiles although a brief review of other, more traditional, systems is included. The particular requirements for PVC and its associated additives are discussed together with the relevant manufacturing technology. Because of the high quality and long life associated with uPVC windows, quality control testing has been discussed in some detail. Compounding and extrusion are then described and this chapter then concludes with a detailed discussion of the frame fabrication process.
