PVC for the construction sector
PVC is the most widely used polymer in building and construction
applications and over 50 % of Western Europe's annual PVC production
is used in the sector.
PVC makes a major contribution to the quality, safety and
cost-effectiveness of construction materials, as well as helping
to reduce the environmental impact of completed projects.
Furthermore, PVC has a versatility that helps it meet modern
and future design needs. In addition to new projects, PVC is also
widely used in refurbishment, where often replaces traditional materials
such as clay and wood.
