materials of high resistance, and it is created with a longstring of manufacturing procedures, but we are primarilyinterested in its utilization value. What makes PVC such adominant material for mass purposes?PVC joinery primarily provides excellent heat isolation,which leads to signifi cant savings on the heat bill. Manufacturerspoint out its functionality and fl exibility ofaesthetical shapes as other useful characteristics, whichmeans that can very simply be processed into manydifferent shapes according to the buyer’s wishes andneeds. Traditionally, PVC joinery doesn’t require any additionalinvestments in terms of maintenance, and it alsodoesn’t release air or water even in extreme conditions.The aesthetical dimension is also in favour of PVC – it iseasily adaptable to every environment and is completelyecological, which means that it is fully recyclableand doesn’t pollute the environment. It is also importantto say that PVC is a non-fl ammable material that tendsto put out any signs of fi re by itself. As far as maintenance,PVC joinery requires nothing more than simple cleaning,while humidity, salty air or sunshine have absolutelyno effect on it. In addition to avoiding chemical pollution,PVC joinery offers some other ecological benefi ts.Due to the fact it is made of multi-chamber profi les, itabsorbs sound waves and functions as protection fromnoise pollution very effectively. Forest capacities arenot exploited during the process of manufacturing PVCjoinery. This artifi cial material’s isolation characteristicscome as a consequence of its proportional stretching intime. PVC is resilient of UV radiation, and it also doesn’tlose its colour or show signs of age. In conclusion, PVCis an excellent isolator that demands minimum maintenanceand doesn’t get affected by weather conditions,and 10-year guarantees from manufacturers vouch forits long lifespan.An insight into the history of PVC tells us that it is one ofthe oldest polymeric materials. It has now become oneof the most signifi cant construction materials thanks toconstant improvement of its characteristics. The manufacturingprocess points out its chemical attributes: PVCis a polymeric plasticizer that is softened by the heatingprocess and is forced by its structure to turn liquidat high temperatures, which allows it to be excellentlyshaped in moulds. PVC can be roughly divided in hardand soft PVC: hard PVC is primarily used in productionof wall covers, cable covers, hoses, window profi les andshutters, construction pipes (water, sewerage), childrentoys and car parts. It is a chemically and mechanicallystable material that can receive additional stabilizators,softeners, pigments, antistatic materials and fi llers, dependingon the demands at hand. Precisely due to itsmassive usage in households, hard PVC is essential tothe production of PVC joinery.Mechanical firmness and hardnessJust like the material itself, products made by hard PVChave the same characteristics. PVC window profi les possessa high level of mechanical fi rmness and hardness,and they are also resilient to blows, non-fl ammable, highlyresilient to different chemicals and signs of age, andINTERIJERI dc MATERIALS
