Built with engineering precision, Urban Artisan’s product range when installed in accordance with known installation guidelines like BS8213-4 will provide the perfect barrier against the elements. Rotting, splitting, warping or corroding, some of the problems associated with other frame materials will not happen with uPVC. Even the heaviest exposure to Monsoons or floods will leave uPVC frames unaffected. The ingenious build-in drainage system ensures that any potential water ingress is efficiently eliminated.
Air-conditioning is the staple need of all the modern buildings of today. By an estimate, urban India consume four times the energy consumed by similar structures in developed countries; of which a major part is ascribed to the energy loss due to air leakage. In any building windows are huge ‘energy holes’ accounting for maximum cooling and heating losses.
The inherent material advantage of uPVC, of being a good insulator, is further enhanced by employing Urban Artisan’s sophisticated multi-chamber profile design which raises in combination with the effective double sealing system, the frame performance in terms of sound reduction and thermal insulation.
By choosing an appropriate glass combination, potential energy savings are a welcomed, additional benefit.
Urban Artisan uPVC Door & Window systems utilize a multi-chambered profile design with double seal technology that ensures inherent insulation against sound infiltration. Installed with appropriate glazing, sound reductions up to 40 dB (decibels) are possible thus providing excellent levels of soundproofing and assisting effectively in the desire to protect against noise pollution.
Urban Artisan Door & Window systems have been engineered to allow the secure fitting of hinges, locking devices and handles thereby providing a level of security against intrusion and peace of mind. The system allows for fitting of the highest quality locking mechanisms available in the market today. Urban Artisan systems are naturally flame retardant and decrease the fire load of a building. Unlike other materials like wood, Urban Artisan systems are non-combusting as well as selfextinguishing, which means it will not cause, support or inflame a fire.
Urban Artisan uPVC Doors & Windows can with stand storms with wind pressure of over 3000 Pascal’s which is equivalent to a speed of 245 km/hr. This benefit has been appreciated is being in modern architecture when frames are being required for installations in modern, earth quake proof tower blocks exceeding 10 storeys or more. Design flexibility is a hidden strength of UPVC systems.
Urban Artisan doors and windows are a viable as well as superior option to wood and aluminium. Positive insulation reduces the carbon footprint of the building. Being a substitute of wood, it helps the environment by reducing deforestation. 100% recyclable Urban Artisan systems are Lead free, thus increasing the environmental sustainability and are free from health and environmental hazards of lead poisoning.
Urban Artisan door and window systems are capable of protecting from high UV index. Entire process from raw material selection to advanced extruding to further processing is formulated to attain highest quality profiles capable to resist UV radiations which are generally high in Indian subcontinent..
