Questions

Frequently asked

What profile do large windows need?

A wider, stronger series with steel reinforcement sized to the span, and hardware rated for the panel weight — under-spec and the frame bows or drags.

Can uPVC do large sliding doors?

Yes, with the right series, reinforcement, and hardware sized to the span. It's a fabrication decision.

Why does reinforcement matter for big windows?

Because heavy glazed panels need a rigid frame — under-reinforced large frames bow or sag over time.
