UPVC Window Steel Reinforcement Profiles

1. Definition & Purpose

UPVC window steel reinforcement profiles are galvanized steel inserts embedded within UPVC window/door profiles to provide structural integrity while maintaining thermal performance. These hidden reinforcements enable UPVC systems to meet stringent wind load and security requirements.

Key Functions:

  • Enhances structural rigidity (reduces deflection by 60-80%)

  • Improves resistance to wind pressure (up to 3000Pa)

  • Provides screw retention for hardware mounting

  • Maintains thermal break efficiency

  • Prevents profile distortion over time

2. Profile Types & Cross-Sections

Popular profile and sizes

  • C-Shaped: Most common for sashes

  • U-Shaped: Used in frame profiles

  • Square Tubes: For heavy-duty applications

  • Custom Shapes: Manufacturer-specific designs

Standard Sizes:

  • 20×10×1.2mm (standard window)

  • 40×20×1.5mm (large door profiles)

  • 30×15×2.0mm (commercial applications)

3.What Is The Use Of Steel Reinforcement In UPVC Doors And Windows?

Since UPVC is such a quality material, what more does the use of steel reinforcement add? upvc steel reinforcements is an additional process that helps in the structure and thickness of the frames of windows and doors. It provides additional support and rigidity. This support is extremely useful in places where there is heavy wind pressure. With massive doors and windows with larger frames, steel reinforcement gives the extra strength these frames need. Another major quality in steel reinforcement is the way it makes uPVC more rigid and flexible at the same time; it helps in incorporating advanced locking mechanisms into UPVC frames.

4. Production Process(UPVC Window Steel Support Profiles Roll Forming Machine)

  1. Coil Loading: 3 ton coils mounted on powered decoiler or manual decoiler

  2. Material Preparation:

    • Leveling to ±0.1mm flatness

    • Edge trimming if required

  3. Roll Forming:

    • Progressive shaping through carbide rollers

    • Springback compensation design

    • 12-24 stations progressively shape steel
    • Chain driven
  4. Punching:

    • Optional

    • Creates screw holes and ventilation slots

  5. Cutting:

    • Precision flying cut (±0.5mm length tolerance)

    • Burr-free edges

  6. Output:

    • Automatic stacking

    • Optional passive out table 4meters
