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.
