The thickness difference of UPVC door and window profiles is mainly reflected in its design, load-bearing capacity and applicable scene.
Basic size series:
The basic size series of window frame thickness of casement windows includes 45, 50, 55, 60, etc.
The basic size series of window frame thickness of sliding window includes 60, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100, etc.
Wall thickness and load-bearing capacity:
Generally speaking, the greater the thickness of the window frame, the greater its load-bearing capacity. This means that thicker UPVC profiles are suitable for applications that need to withstand greater weight and pressure, such as high-rise buildings or large public facilities.
For example, UPVC profiles with a thickness of 1.6mm or more usually have excellent load-bearing capacity and stability, and are suitable for high-rise buildings and other occasions that require extreme weight and pressure.
Use Scenario:
Thinner UPVC profiles, such as those with a wall thickness of 0.8mm to 1.2mm, are suitable for some ordinary doors and windows, such as home decoration and commercial places.
Medium and thick UPVC profiles, such as wall thickness between 1.2mm to 1.6mm and more than 1.6mm, are more suitable for large doors and windows or occasions that need to bear a large weight, such as large commercial premises, factories and high-rise buildings.
Note:
Although thicker UPVC profiles have stronger load-bearing capacity, excessive wall thickness may increase the weight and cost of doors and windows, and may affect their insulation performance and aesthetics.
Therefore, when choosing UPVC door and window profiles, it is necessary to consider comprehensively according to the actual situation, such as the use environment of doors and windows, functional requirements, and budget factors.
