How PVCaware.org Can Help
Your Business
PVC is one of the world’s most successful building materials and especially popular for manufacturing windows and door frames and related products such as conservatories. This is because it is light and yet strong, may easily be moulded into complex profiles, is an excellent insulator, and is incredibly durable. That is why around 80% of the windows replaced in private and public sector homes are manufactured from PVC.
With the advent of the Internet many potential customers want to know more about the products they are about to order and especially the differences between the alternative framing materials that are on offer. And some may have heard some negative stories about PVC-U. But even with these apparently well-intentioned organisations the truth may be rather distorted.
www.pvcaware.org has been created as a straightforward source of information about PVC as a material for use in window, door and conservatory installations for anyone that is looking for guidance. You may use this guide to allow your customers to judge for themselves about PVC and whether it suits them and their lifestyles; use the logo on your marketing materials, your web site and advertising – actively encourage them to look, to find out for themselves and this source of information, that is independent from your company, should reassure them that they are comfortably making the best choice.
