Weather-resistant profiles: innovation and durability thanks to plastics
profili resistenti agli agenti atmosferici sono usati in molte applicazioni legate all'edilizia

Weather-resistant profiles are employed in many applications related to construction, outdoor furniture, and agriculture due to the qualities of plastic materials. Technological innovation allows the creation of plastic products that can withstand adverse weather conditions without sacrificing their integrity and functionality.

The features of weather-resistant profiles

Weather-resistant profiles are made from plastic polymers that offer a unique combination of physical and chemical properties.
One of the biggest enemies of materials exposed to the outside is ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which can cause fading, structural weakening and degradation. High-quality plastic profiles are UV-resistant and do not suffer any damage when exposed to the sun, ensuring greater longevity.
Plastics are inherently water-resistant, which makes these products suitable for wet environments and for applications in direct contact with water. Moisture resistance is critical to prevent phenomena such as water absorption, which can lead to swelling and deformation of the material.
Weather-resistant profiles are designed to tolerate a wide range of temperatures, maintaining their structural integrity in both extreme cold and extreme heat.

The innovation of weather-resistant profiles

Compared with traditional materials, such as wood and iron, plastic profiles offer many benefits. Their weatherability makes them perfect for outdoor applications. They do not suffer significant deterioration when exposed to rain, snow, sun or wind, and they keep their mechanical and aesthetic properties intact over time. They do not rot or corrode. Weather-resistant profiles do not require periodic surface treatments, such as painting or sealing, which reduces maintenance costs. These features are increasingly important in a climate environment that is becoming progressively more unpredictable and extreme. In addition, plastic profiles are significantly lighter and make transportation and installation easier, reducing logistical costs.
