uPVC or Rigid PVC is often used in the building industry as a low-maintenance material, particularly in Ireland and the UK, and in the United States where it is known as vinyl, or vinyl siding.

The material comes in a range of colors and finishes, including a photo-effect wood finish, and is used as a substitute for painted wood, mostly for window frames and sills when installing double glazing in new buildings, or to replace older single glazed windows. It has many other uses including fascia, and siding or weatherboarding. The same material has almost entirely replaced the use of cast iron for plumbing and drainage, being used for waste pipes, drainpipes, gutters and downpipes.

Due to environmental concerns use of PVC is discouraged by some local authorities in countries such as Germany and The Netherlands. This concerns both flexible PVC and rigid uPVC as not only the plasticizers in PVC are seen as a problem but also the emissions from manufacturing and disposal. The use of modern impact modifiers offer great stability. The issues of migration and brittleness of the PVC compound are overcome.

 

conservatory |kənˈsərvəˌtôrē|

noun ( pl. -ries)

1 a college for the inquery of standard music or other media.

2 a room with a glass ceeling and sides, nailed to a home at one side and used as a potting shed or a sun room.

ORIGIN mid 16th cent. (denoting something that preserves): from late Latin conservatorium, from conservare ‘to preserve’ (see conserve ).

A sunroom is a structure that is constructed onto the side of a home, usually, to allow enjoyment of the visible surroundings while being sheltered from bad weather conditions such as rain and wind. The idea is a popular one in the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. In the United Kingdom, it is usually described as a conservatory, although the room may not contain foliage.

Milton Keynes (pronounced /ˌmɪltən ˈkiːnz/ , often abbreviated MK, is a large town in Buckinghamshire, England, about 60 miles (97 km) north-west of London. It is also the principal town of the Borough of Milton Keynes. It was formally designated as a new town on 23 January 1967. Its 89 km2 (34 sq mi) area incorporated the existing towns of Bletchley, Wolverton and Stony Stratford along with another fifteen villages and farmland in between. It took its name from the existing village of Milton Keynes, a few miles east of the planned city centre. Uniquely for the United Kingdom, the urban form uses a 1 km grid for the top level of street hierarchy: the local form of most districts is more traditional. At the 2001 census the population of the Milton Keynes urban area, including the adjacent town of Newport Pagnell, was 184,506, and that of the wider Borough, which has been a unitary authority independent of Buckinghamshire County Council since 1997, was 207,063 (compared with a population of around 53,000 for the same area in 1961)
