India’s climatic landscape is as diverse as the cultures and the people who call it home. From dry and dusty terrain to bustling concrete jungles, we have it all within the borders of our vast nation. India is also home to numerous coastal towns and cities, like Vizag for example, that experience strong winds, humid weather and saline air pretty much throughout the year.
Windows and doors made of traditional materials like wood, frequently encounter issues like rusting, warping, and fading in such coastal cities. Water leakage and termite infestation are also common problems that require constant attention and expensive repairs and upkeep.
This is why the building materials, such as uPVC, are best suited for Indian weather conditions because uPVC windows and doors are extremely durable, versatile and strong, while also being aesthetically appealing.
Here are some benefits of uPVC windows and doors for coastal homes:
No water seepage
uPVC windows and doors are built to endure any type of extreme weather, including heavy rains and the high speed winds that high-rise buildings, especially in coastal areas, witness quite frequently. uPVC is a non-corrosive material and therefore immune to the constant spray of dense rain, even if it is corrosive seawater. When fitted properly, they are completely water-tight, and do not allow even a trickle of water to enter your home.
Enhanced thermal efficiency
Coastal areas also experience extreme heat in the summer months. uPVC profiles by NAMO offer excellent thermal efficiency, thanks to a robust multi-chambered design and high wall thickness. These features help regulate indoor temperatures and keep your home cooler in the summers, thereby also helping to cut down on electricity bills. The use of double-glazing or triple glazing will further enhance the energy efficiency of these uPVC windows and doors.
Humidity Proof
NAMO uPVC profiles are completely resistant to the strong tropical rains, and remain leak proof even in the most damp conditions. Saline (salt) water also has no harmful effect on them, like rusting or corrosion. They are also built to withstand extreme humidity without warping, rotting or breaking down. So if you live in a coastal city like Vizag, with humid weather throughout the year, you needn’t worry about the durability and performance of these profiles.
Easy to maintain
There are several types of uPVC windows and doors available, and they are a perfect fit for coastal homes because they are also termite-proof, do not rust, corrode or fade, do not support fire combustion, and best of all, they are very easy to maintain. They only require regular dusting and an occasional wipe down with a damp cloth to keep them looking pristine even after years of use.
Customization options
With NAMO, you have the option of customizing almost every aspect of the uPVC window or door – start by choosing from several types of uPVC window and door options – Sliding windows and doors, Casement doors and windows, Combination windows, Tilt & Turn windows, and many more – then move on to customizing the colour of the profile, lamination, single, double or triple glazing, type of glass, mesh & grill options, and beyond. A robust mesh & grill is a must for coastal homes to keep away the bugs and insects.
So if you reside in a coastal area, and face the usual problems that accompany the weather of the region, choose superior quality uPVC profiles by NAMO for the best uPVC windows and doors in India, and enjoy a hassle-free lifestyle.
