Characteristics that make it an especially useful building material when enhanced by other materials that improve its chemical and mechanical characteristics: shock-proof component (impact resistance), stabiliser component that prevents degradation of materials during extrusion, calcium carbonate component that improves the mechanical characteristics of profiles, and a titanium dioxide component that renders PVC opaque (PVC is naturally transparent).

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial">PVC does not need any maintenance work and has a good insulating coefficient because it has properties such as its workability, lightness, dimensional stability and resistance to fire (self-extinguishing). Fascina PVC is brilliant, consistent and is considered one of the most stable profiles in the market today. Using a formulation of uPVC (unplasticised PVC), Fascina combines energy-saving homogeneous components to produce special windows and doors of high quality that will ensure colour-fastness, impact resistance, highly polished finishing, stability as well as other USPs.</span></p>]]></description>
