Technology
Lingel Windows specialise in UPVC windows and doors made from synthetic plastic polymer, which have an expected service life of over 40 years.

Features
• UPVC does not let in heat from outside in summers, and does not let the inside heat get out of the room during winters.

• Since 25 per cent of the total energy in a building is lost through the windows, using UPVC windows is the wiser option as it can bring down energy loss anywhere between 10 per cent and 15 per cent.

• UPVC casement sections are dust proof, water proof and along with the right glass, sound proof as well. The material is also termite proof, does not rust, crack, chip or fade in colour. Hence, UPVC windows are very durable and require minimum maintenance.

• One key point with UPVC windows is the use of gaskets between the frame and the sections, similar to the way car doors and refrigerators are sealed with gaskets.

• In comparison to wooden windows, there is no swelling of the material during the monsoon season.

• On the aesthetics front, UPVC windows are very stylish, elegant and provide maximum security to your home
