SWISH cellular PVC is an ideal substitute for timber cladding; in that it will not discolour with time, retains its appearance, is virtually maintenance free and is weather resistant.
In addition, cellular PVC cladding can significantly improve thermal performance of buildings, particularly when combined with insulation. This PVC is an extruded, foamed material with integral smooth and durable skin. The product can be cut, drilled, nailed and routed, using conventional tools. It is light to handle, easy to fix and does not require any painting and subsequent treatment after installation. This material also represents environmentally responsible use of plastics. It does not contain CFCs, lead or cadmium, which are considered harmful for environment. The density of Awish Cellular PVC is on an average 550kg/m3. Swish cladding profiles are sufficiently rigid to facilitate storage and erection, but are flexible enough to withstand normal site handling. The thermal insulation properties of Swish Cellular PVC, due to the foamed core, are superior to those of wood. Used in composite external wall constructions, they can significantly improve the U values obtained.
