What are Hurst uPVC door panels made from?

Hurst PVC-U door panels are manufactured using advanced technology that bonds two PVC skins to a variety of reinforcing materials ensuring the integrity of the panel against heat and moisture. For additional security we also offer a choice of reinforcing materials. The PVC is BS 476 Classified, recyclable and inert. It contains no CFCs or HFCs and is a flame-retardent thermoplastic, i.e. it extinguishes itself after the source of the flame has been removed.

uPVC stands for "unplasticized polyvinyl chloride," and it is a type of plastic material that is rigid and resistant to ultraviolet (UV) rays, making it suitable for outdoor applications like doors and windows. uPVC is known for its durability, low maintenance requirements, and thermal insulating properties.

Are uPVC doors energy-efficient?

Protected by Heat Reflective Technology, Hurst uPVC door panels have a heat reflective skin which when combined with an extra high-density core, provides excellent insulation. uPVC doors are known for their good thermal insulating properties, which can contribute to energy efficiency in your home. The material itself has a low thermal conductivity, helping to reduce heat transfer between the inside and outside of your home. However, the overall energy efficiency of a door also depends on other factors like the quality of installation, the type of glazing used, and the overall construction of the door.

What do you clean uPVC doors with?

You can clean uPVC doors with a mild soap or detergent mixed with water. Avoid using abrasive or harsh chemicals, as they may damage the uPVC surface. Additionally, you can use a soft cloth or sponge to wipe the door gently. Regular cleaning will help maintain the appearance and extend the lifespan of the uPVC door.

What colours are available?

Although white remains our most popular PVC-U door colour, we offer a range of colour and woodgrain options, from Anthracite Grey and Chartwell Green through to Oak and Rosewood.

When should I replace my uPVC door?

The decision of when to replace a uPVC door depends on its condition and overall performance. If your uPVC door shows signs of significant wear, damage, or has become less energy-efficient, it might be time for a replacement. Additionally, if your door is old and approaching its expected life span, it may be a good idea to consider replacing it. Always consult with a professional to assess your door's condition and determine if replacement is necessary.
