Why choose PVC?

PVC remains the most chosen material for window replacement in Belgium and that’s no coincidence. In practice, it offers:

  • Excellent insulation: thanks to multi-chamber profiles (up to 7 chambers depending on the range), PVC ranks among the best-insulating materials on the market, both thermally and acoustically.
  • Virtually no maintenance: no paint, no varnish: a simple wash with soapy water is enough to keep your PVC frames looking flawless.
  • Outstanding value for money: at equivalent performance, PVC is generally the most affordable of the 3 materials, making it a safe choice for most residential projects.
  • Great flexibility: a wide range of colours and finishes, including wood-effect options, suited to both renovation and new-build projects.
  • Long-lasting durability: a properly installed PVC frame lasts several decades without losing its insulating or aesthetic qualities.

Insulation & thermal performance

PVC insulates naturally well thanks to its structure: its profiles are made up of several air chambers that slow down heat transfer, without needing a thermal break — unlike aluminium.

At Abihome, the level of insulation depends on the profile chosen: the more chambers and seals a profile has, the better its thermal and acoustic performance. Our MD (88) range, with 7 chambers and 3 seals, offers the highest insulation in our PVC range (Uw: 1.0), while the 76 MD (Uw: 1.1) and the AD (Uw: 1.2) cover most renovation projects with very good performance.

Maintenance of PVC frames

PVC is never painted or varnished, and it doesn’t rust: a wash with soapy water, once or twice a year, is enough to keep your PVC frames in excellent condition throughout their lifespan. Along with aluminium, it’s one of the lowest-maintenance materials we offer.

What budget should you for ?

Sash type, dimensions, glazing, colour, options: every project has its own budget. Rather than a generic price range, we’d rather give you a fair price, tailored to your project.

The 4 steps of your project

How does your project unfold at Abihome?

  1. Abihome showroom with a bioclimatic pergola structure, green wall and customers at a consultation meeting.

    Are you looking to change your frames, your door, or even your veranda? Which material should you choose and at what price? You are in the right place.

  2. Hands pointing at the dimensions on a hand-annotated window fabrication drawing

    We meet at your construction site for an initial appointment, providing precise measurements and technical advice tailored to your project.

  3. Worker handling a profile on the window production line in the workshop

    The dimensions, materials, and glazing are selected. The manufacturing of your custom joinery can then commence in our workshops.

  4. Abihome fitter checking the sash of a newly installed white PVC window

    Final step, and certainly not the least: your joinery arrives at your home and is installed by our teams with particular care given to the finishes.
