Glaseco B.V. has added UPVC window frame systems to its installation services, offering homeowners and property managers a low-maintenance, thermally efficient option for residential and light commercial window replacement projects. The Hoofddorp-based company now supplies and installs extruded UPVC window frames in casement and tilt-and-turn configurations, available in construction depths of 85 millimeters and 120 millimeters to suit different building types and insulation requirements.
UPVC stands for unplasticized polyvinyl chloride, a rigid form of PVC that contains no plasticizer additives. The absence of plasticizers makes the material harder and more dimensionally stable under temperature changes compared to standard PVC compounds. Most plastic window frames sold in the Netherlands today are technically UPVC profiles, though the terms PVC and UPVC are used interchangeably across the window replacement industry. Polyvinyl chloride is a synthetic thermoplastic polymer that resists moisture, rot, and insect damage while maintaining structural integrity and color stability over extended service periods.
Glaseco B.V. sources its UPVC window systems from two European manufacturers. The Ideal 7000 NL profile, manufactured by Aluplast, and the Ideal 7000 NEW profile, manufactured by Eko-okna, form the core of the UPVC product range. Both profiles are engineered for the Dutch market and meet the thermal transmittance values required under current building regulations. The 120-millimeter construction depth option provides additional insulation capacity for properties where higher thermal performance is required, such as older buildings undergoing energy-efficiency renovations.
UPVC window frames deliver the lowest thermal transmittance among the four frame materials that Glaseco B.V. offers. Lower thermal transmittance values indicate less heat transfer through the frame, which contributes to reduced heating costs during colder months and limits unwanted heat gain in summer. When paired with double or triple glazing, UPVC frames achieve the insulation values needed to qualify for the Dutch government's ISDE subsidy program, administered by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency. Homeowners who install qualifying window systems through a professional contractor may apply for the subsidy within 24 months of project completion.
Standard two-pane and three-pane UPVC window configurations also provide measurable noise reduction. The combination of the sealed UPVC profile, rubber gasket compression, and multi-pane glazing with gas-filled cavities reduces sound transmission from exterior sources. For properties located near highways, railways, airports, or dense urban areas, additional acoustic performance can be achieved through variations in glass thickness between the inner and outer panes, a technique that disrupts sound wave transmission across a broader frequency range.
Glaseco B.V. offers UPVC window frames in a range of colors and surface finishes that extend beyond the standard white profile. The current catalog includes four finish categories. Modern Greys features anthracite grey, jet black matt, quartz grey, and brushed aluminium finishes applied to the UPVC surface. Woodec finishes reproduce the appearance of natural timber species including turner oak, sheffield oak, and walnut through a high-resolution lamination process applied to the UPVC frame. Aludec finishes replicate the look of powder-coated aluminium in anthracite grey, jet black, basalt grey, and traffic white. Natural Timber finishes provide oak, douglas, palisander, and birch appearances. All foiled and laminated finishes include UV stabilizer compounds that protect the surface from solar degradation and color fading over the lifespan of the frame.
Each UPVC window installation project begins with an on-site consultation where Glaseco B.V. specialists assess the existing window openings, wall construction, and insulation conditions. The company coordinates the full process from measurement and material selection through manufacturing, delivery, professional fitting, sealing, and post-installation inspection. For properties located in protected heritage zones, the company evaluates which UPVC profiles and finishes comply with municipal conservation guidelines before proceeding with an order.
Glaseco B.V. serves homeowners, architects, and commercial property managers within a 50-kilometer radius around Amsterdam for both individual window replacements and larger-scale renovation projects involving multiple units.
