How We Fabricate PVC

PVC is fabricated using CNC routing, saw cutting, hot air welding, and solvent cementing. We produce custom PVC ducting systems, tanks, trays, and enclosures to your specifications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can PVC be welded? +

Yes — rigid PVC is welded using hot air and solvent cementing. It's commonly used for tank, ducting, and piping fabrication.

Is PVC suitable for outdoor use? +

Standard PVC can degrade in prolonged UV exposure. UV-stabilised grades are available for outdoor applications, or we can advise on alternative materials.

What's the difference between rigid and flexible PVC? +

Rigid PVC (uPVC) is used for structural applications like piping and panels. Flexible PVC contains plasticisers and is used for curtains, tubing, and gaskets.
