Types of uPVC windows and doors, made to measure in Kerala

Most Kerala homes use a mix. Sliding windows with mosquito mesh suit bedrooms and kitchens because they save space. Casement windows open fully for cross-ventilation and seal very firmly, which helps on exposed or coastal walls. Tilt and turn windows suit upper-floor apartments. Fixed windows give the largest views. At the site visit we recommend a type for each room, not one for the whole house.

We fabricate with three profile brands, so you can choose by budget. Okotech is our premium range: lead-free profiles that Okotech states are made to EN 12608 and IS 17953. Yashpoly is our mid range, with its own gaskets and steel reinforcement. Unitech is our most cost-effective range. Whichever you choose, the window is cut, reinforced, welded and fitted by our own team in Aluva.

A sliding window opens by moving one sash across another, so it never projects into the room or outside, and only part of the opening is clear at once. A casement window is hinged and swings open, so the whole opening clears for air. Casements press against their gaskets when locked, giving a very firm seal. Sliding windows are simpler to fit with mesh and grills.

Yes. Many Kerala homes want both, especially on ground floors and in apartments. On sliding windows, the mesh usually runs on a third track, with the safety grill fixed on the inside or outside of the frame. On casement windows, a hinged or fixed mesh is combined with a grill. We plan the arrangement at the site visit so the window still opens, cleans and locks easily.

Yes. Besides classic white, we offer wood-grain laminate finishes in Golden Oak, Walnut, Mahogany and Dark Oak, plus Grey and Black. Wood-grain finishes suit traditional Kerala homes and timber interiors, while grey and black suit contemporary elevations. None of the finishes needs painting or polishing. Swatch colours on screen are indicative, so we recommend seeing the real samples at our Aluva showroom or during your site visit.

Yes. uPVC sliding doors and French doors are among the most popular choices for Kerala balconies and sit-outs. They are sealed against monsoon rain and dust, they do not rust in coastal air or swell in humidity, and they lock at several points. Sliding doors save space on narrow balconies, while French doors open the full width. Mosquito mesh can be added to both.

We offer toughened, double-glazed (DGU), laminated, acoustic and frosted glass. Toughened glass is stronger than ordinary glass and breaks into small pieces. Double-glazed units slow heat and soften outside noise. Laminated glass holds together if broken, which suits exposed elevations and security. Acoustic glass is for busy roads. Frosted glass gives privacy in bathrooms. We suggest the right glass for each elevation at the site visit.
