PVC doors concept

PVC doors are construction elements manufactured mainly with polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a resistant, versatile and low-maintenance plastic. These systems are used on both interior and exterior doors, offering an efficient and modern alternative to doors made of traditional materials such as wood or metal.

PVC makes it possible to manufacture doors with excellent thermal and acoustic properties, in addition to offering resistance to humidity, corrosion and chemical agents. This makes them a highly valued solution in residential, commercial and industrial construction to improve the energy efficiency and durability of enclosures.

Composition and structure of PVC

Polyvinyl chloride is a thermoplastic polymer obtained by polymerizing vinyl chloride. In the manufacture of doors, PVC can be rigid or flexible, although for solid structures rigid PVC reinforced with additives that improve its mechanical resistance and stability against UV radiation is mainly used.

PVC doors consist of extruded profiles that may have internal chambers to improve thermal and acoustic insulation. These profiles are assembled by welding or mechanical systems to form the frame and door leaves, integrating metal reinforcements when greater structural resistance is required.

In addition, the surface finish can vary from smooth to imitation wood or plain colors, thanks to surface treatments or decorative sheets applied during manufacturing.

Thermal and acoustic properties

One of the main advantages of PVC doors is their ability to offer good thermal insulation. The multi-chamber structure of the profiles and the possibility of incorporating double or triple glazing contribute to reducing heat transmission, increasing the building's energy efficiency and reducing air conditioning consumption.

Regarding acoustic insulation, PVC doors are capable of attenuating outside noise thanks to their airtightness and the incorporation of weather stripping and seals. This is particularly useful in urban or industrial environments where noise pollution needs to be minimized.
