uPVC Casement Doors

What is a Upvc Casement Door?

uPVC casement doors are a classic design with a modern upgrade. They are made from robust, weather-resistant and low-maintenance material called unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC). Casement doors refer to side-hinged doors. A frame with hinges on one side holds the door together. They can open inward or outward at 180 degrees, like a traditional door, for effortless indoor-outdoor transition.

They can be installed as a single or double frame in main entrances, balconies, terraces, patios, decks or commercial spaces where good ventilation is a key criterion.

What are the Key Features of uPVC Casement Doors?

Side-Hinged Opening

Side-hinged opening mechanism is a prominent feature of the casement door uPVC. The hinges are located on the right or left vertical side of the frame. This helps you to control the direction and range of movement of the door.

The door can swing either inside or outside, enabling optimal airflow and unhindered views of the locale. The ease of opening and closing like a traditional door ensures that you are able to walk in and out or move bulky items effortlessly. The customisable colours, sizes and finishes enrich the traditional aesthetic quotient further.

Multi-Point Locking System

Most traditional doors have a single-lock system, especially from the outside. They are more prone to theft or invasion of your privacy. uPVC casement doors have sophisticated multi-point locking bolts or hooks along the edge of the frame. When you use the handle or key, these multi-lock points get activated and secure your space to the next level.

High-Grade uPVC Profile

The premium grade of uPVC material in casement doors can stand strong against wear and tear due to time and weather. Its structural integrity remains undamaged from rust, moisture, humidity, extreme heat and other environmental degradation. That’s why it can give long-lasting performance for at least 20 years.

Double/Triple Glazing Compatibility

uPVC casement doors fitted with double or triple glazing for superior thermal and sound insulation. The multi-layer glass reduces heat loss. The interiors stay cool in the summers and warm in the winters. The insulation mechanism minimises dependence on air conditioners, water coolers, heaters and other cooling or heating systems. The energy efficiency goes up and electricity expenses go down.

The double or triple-glazed glass also provides soundproofing against hubbub from noisy streets or busy surroundings.

Airtight Sealing

Casement door uPVC use high-quality rubber gaskets on the frame and edge for airtight sealing. These gaskets act as a complete protective seal to block air, water and dust filtration. The sealing maintains an appropriate indoor temperature by stopping cold air leaks. It keeps moisture and rainwater from seeping inside the space. It also shields against the finest dust and pollution particles, thereby fostering a hygienic and pleasant indoor environment. These doors are highly recommended if your property is located in a high-pollution zone or if you suffer from respiratory health issues.

The improved insulation leads to power usage efficiency in heating and cooling gadgets. This helps in significant cost savings in electricity bills.

Reinforced Steel Core

While uPVC itself is known for its strength and multi-locking mechanism, its construct becomes more resilient with internal galvanised steel reinforcement. The steel reinforcement provides an additional layer of thickness and rigidity. It prevents the casement door from bending, warping or sagging over the years of wear and tear. As a result, it becomes almost invincible against severe weather conditions and other external pressures.

Smooth Hardware Mechanism

The use of premium hardware is integral to the functional value and smooth operation of uPVC casement doors. The hinges not only allow effortless opening/closing of the door, but their rust-free characteristic also makes them long-lasting. The handles are ergonomically designed for a firm and easy grip for locking/unlocking. The friction stays enable controlled opening, steady position and protection against slamming even in the windy weather.

Customizable Size & Design

Unlike traditional doors, which have limited customisation features, uPVC casement doors can be tailor-made to complement your individual tastes or the interior character of the space. You can customise the dimensions – whether it is for the main entrance, balcony, showrooms or offices. There is a distinct range of colours too, in light and dark shades with different finishes such as woodgrain textures or evergreen whites.

You can even personalise the design, starting from inward-outward opening style to handles and glass type.

Thermal & Sound Insulation

The integration of uPVC material, double or triple glazing and rubber gaskets makes it a powerful enabler for indoor comfort and a sense of quiet. The thermal insulation reduces heat transfer, making summers feel cooler and winters warmer. The airtight sealing and glazing impede unpleasant sound emissions from outside.

Low Maintenance

Casement doors uPVC can look as good as new for years without requiring polishing, sealing, chemical treatment, varnishing or painting. The primary reason is that they are resistant to heat, water, humidity, rust and termites. Hence, they hardly need any maintenance except an occasional swipe with a damp cloth.

What are the Benefits of Using uPVC Casement Doors?

Enhanced Security

The uPVC casement doors have secure locking at the top, middle and bottom of the frame. The multi-chambered construction of frames fortifies the security further. They are a safe bet against unauthorised access for both residential and commercial spaces.

Superior Energy Efficiency

The double or triple glazing combined with airtight sealing is super effective in managing temperature variations. You can enjoy cool ambience in the hot, humid climate and snug warmth in the winter. Your air conditioners, water coolers and heaters have to work less, thereby curbing electricity costs.

Effective Noise Reduction

Casement doors made from uPVC make your space immune to sound disturbances from outside. The multi-layer glass and impermeable sealing aid in acoustic efficiency for homes, offices or hospitals located in noisy neighbourhoods.

Weather Resistance

Wooden doors can expand, decay or warp, while metal ones can become rusty or corroded or melt during intense weather elements. On the contrary, uPVC is highly resilient to high temperature variations, moisture, heavy downpour, elevated humidity and coastal climates.

Long-Term Durability

Since uPVC is an all-weather resistant material, its casement doors can maintain structural integrity and longevity. It is warp-proof, rust-proof, rot-proof, corrosion-proof, moisture-resistant, heat-resistant and termite-proof. Hence, it is an ideal choice for all Indian weather conditions and locations.

Eco-Friendly Choice

uPVC has its environmental benefits, which make it a sustainable option for building projects. Its composition is free from lead or other dangerous chemicals and additives. It also consumes less energy than wood and metals during the manufacturing process.

One of its biggest characteristics is that it is recyclable after it reaches the end of its lifespan. Hence, while it may no longer serve its purpose as a door, it can be made into other products. This reduces landfill waste.

uPVC casement doors provide energy-efficient insulation and remain durable for decades, often without needing replacement.

What are the Types of uPVC Casement Doors ?

Single Casement Doors

(To describe what single casement doors are and where they are best used. The goal is to help customers understand how this space-saving, functional design is ideal for compact areas like utility rooms, kitchens, or narrow entrances.)

Single casement doors are single glass panes with hinges fixed on one side of the frame. Such doors swing inward or outward. Their functional and compact design makes them the right choice for utility rooms, store rooms, kitchens, passageways, narrow entrances, small balconies or patios, homes or offices in a congested locality, etc.

Double Casement Doors

(To explain the design and use of double casement doors. The goal is to show how they are ideal for wider openings, providing symmetry, ventilation, and ease of access for spaces like balconies, terraces, or large living rooms.)

Double casement doors have two sashes with hinges fixed on both sides. They meet at the centre and open inward or outward like a pair of doors. They are known for symmetrical aesthetics, wide-open view, ample access, abundant natural light and maximised ventilation.
