UPVC door manufacturing stages
- Molds are first designed to be special to the door in terms of dimensions, exterior and interior design
- The material is then prepared via mixing of UPVC core materials while scaling the material to a suitable shape
- The forming phase is then done by heating the UPVC to a certain temperature until it is formable
- Then come the compression and forming phase via hot material compression in molds in order to form the frame and panels of the door design
- The assembly phase is then done by assembling the various parts of the door such as panels, frame, accessories and then installing the edges and other parts
- The doors are checked in order to ensure that they conform to the specifications and ensure their quality
- Then come the details stage where glass windows or other decorative elements are added according to the existing design
- Finishes such as surface polishing and coating are applied
- The doors are tested in order to ensure that they conform to the required standards in terms of shape, function, insulation and quality
Applications and uses of UPVC doors
- UPVC doors are used in front and back doors of homes
