uPVC
Profile 22 Optima uPVC is a high-grade profile that is a fully-integrated 70mm system, chamfered, and is used nationally all over the UK for composite doors to give the door a more traditional look. The Profile 22 system meets all requirements for thermal efficiency as standard, and a wealth of intelligent design features have been added in the development of the profile.
With 7 thermal chambers Windows Trade Plus and the use of RCM as standard this increases the chambers to 9 chambers which is gives some of the highest thermal efficiency and structural rigidity in the market place. There is also strategic, local wall thickening used to increase the two external faces durability and within the extruded components for better hardware retention and screw grip where required.

Arch door bending process and measuring
Windows Trade Plus spent many years developing the non-template designer. Making ordering an arch door a simple task. You can measure the width and the height to the spring line (point where the arch starts) and the designer does the rest. There is also a guide on how to check quickly and easily if the arch is a true arch, the designer explains and allows you to move through the process quickly.
Arch door bending is a complex process. The profile to be bent is heated to 130deg C with nylon formers in place. The heating process makes the uPVC a pliable material and the formers keep the shape to the frame work. Once the profile and formers have the correct elasticity for bending the item is removed from the oven and is ready for the formers to be removed and the uPVC frameworks to be placed in the computer controlled bending jig. The correct arch is formed via a computer controlled CNC machine to form the perfect arch every time. The material is left to cool for a number of hours until completely set in position. Once set the arch is then inspected on a DTI inspection table. Currently 99% of all arches bent pass the inspection process first time. The arch is always bent over size then cut down to suit the square frame work and welder together. This is then inspected again on the DTI inspection table to ensure the spring line position is correct and is perfectly square. Windows Trade Plus believes their arch quality is by far the best in the UK due to the amount of time the framework is inspected throughout the process.
