uPVC being a very eco-friendly compared to wood or aluminium, puts a lesser burden on the environment and has a long life compared to other material types. It also gives higher performance and is more energy efficient. Another advantage of uPVC is that it acts as a natural insulator which helps to resist heat loss in winter and reduce heat gain in the summer months. uPVC windows with e-glass coating are very useful as low e-glass has a low microscopically thin transparent coating, which reflects low wave infrared energy. There is no need to worry about maintenance as it does not rust nor does it need any polishing.

In a typical Indian house, more than 50% of energy loss can be through single glazing windows. We at Lingel believe that our products can improve lives and conserve energy in a fast populating world. Lingel uPVC windows are based on cutting edge technology and designed to provide benefits such as heat reduction, sound insulation, durability, low maintenance, and reliable security.

The Life Cycle Study conducted by Universitat Politecnica De Cataluyna, Barcelona, shows the carbon footprint of various materials. In case of uPVC windows, the carbon footprint is much lower than any of the other materials. The study does not include the actual energy saving due to the thermal properties of the material, which actually saves electricity, as a result of which, the carbon footprint is further reduced.
