What are uPVC windows?
uPVC windows are made from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride profiles reinforced with steel. They are rigid, weather-resistant and low-maintenance, and do not rot, rust or attract termites.
Are uPVC windows soundproof?
uPVC windows significantly reduce outside noise because the frames seal tightly with gaskets. Pairing them with laminated or double glazing improves sound insulation further — useful near busy roads or beach shacks.
Do uPVC windows turn yellow?
Good-quality uPVC profiles are UV-stabilised to resist yellowing. ABR Engitech uses Gelan uPVC profiles for its uPVC windows and doors.
How do I clean and maintain uPVC windows?
Wipe frames with mild soapy water and a soft cloth, keep the sliding tracks free of sand and dust, and occasionally lubricate the hardware. uPVC never needs painting or polishing.
Can uPVC windows be installed in old Goan houses?
Yes. Arch, Georgian bar and French-style uPVC windows and doors can match the look of traditional Goan and Indo-Portuguese homes while adding modern performance.
What glass options are available?
We offer clear, frosted, tinted, toughened, laminated and double-glazed units depending on safety, privacy, heat and noise needs.
Do you also do industrial fabrication?
Yes. ABR Engitech also fabricates industrial roofs, sheds and monitor roofs, along with powder coating job work for metal components.
uPVC Doors & Windows
Are uPVC windows good for Goa's climate?
Yes. uPVC does not rust in salty coastal air, does not swell or rot in monsoon humidity and is not attacked by termites. Properly installed uPVC windows with good gaskets also keep wind-driven rain and dust out, which is why they are widely used in coastal Goa.
Which uPVC profile brand does ABR Engitech use?
ABR Engitech fabricates its uPVC windows and doors using Gelan uPVC profiles, combined with hardware and glass selected for each project.
How much do uPVC windows cost in Goa?
The price depends on the window style, size, glass type (single, toughened, laminated or double glazed), finish and hardware. Sliding windows are usually the most economical; tilt & turn and slide & fold systems cost more. ABR Engitech gives a free, itemised quote after measuring your openings.
Can you replace my old wooden or aluminium windows with uPVC?
Yes. We remove the existing frames, prepare the opening and install new made-to-measure uPVC windows. Most homes can be done room by room with minimal disruption.
Are wood-finish uPVC windows available?
Yes. Along with classic white, uPVC windows and doors are available in wood-grain laminated finishes that give the look of timber without polishing, warping or termite issues.
How long does fabrication and installation take?
Timelines depend on the number of openings and the system chosen. After the site measurement and order confirmation, our team shares a fabrication and installation schedule for your project.
Aluminium Doors & Windows
uPVC or aluminium — which is better for Goa?
Both work well when properly made. uPVC gives better thermal and sound insulation at a lower cost and is ideal for homes. Aluminium allows slimmer frames and much larger glass panels, so it suits modern villas, hotels and commercial spaces. ABR Engitech fabricates both and can recommend the right one for each opening.
Does aluminium corrode near the sea?
Bare aluminium can oxidise in salty air, which is why the finish matters. A correctly pre-treated, pure polyester powder coating protects aluminium frames in coastal conditions. ABR Engitech powder coats aluminium in-house.
Can you make very large aluminium doors?
Yes. We fabricate large-format aluminium doors up to around 4 metres, depending on the system, glass and site conditions.
Can aluminium frames be made in custom colours?
Yes. Since we run our own powder coating line, aluminium frames can be finished in a wide range of RAL shades, matte or glossy.
Shower Cubicles
What glass is used for shower cubicles?
Shower cubicles should always use toughened safety glass, which is several times stronger than ordinary glass and breaks into small blunt pieces if damaged. ABR Engitech uses toughened glass for all shower enclosures.
Can a shower cubicle be fitted in an existing bathroom?
Yes. We measure the space and fabricate the enclosure to fit, including uneven walls or floors common in older homes.
Which shower cubicle is best for a small bathroom?
A sliding shower cubicle is usually best for small bathrooms because the doors do not need any swing space.
Do you supply shower cubicles for hotels and villas?
Yes. We supply and install shower cubicles in multiple bathrooms for hotels, resorts, villas and rental properties across Goa.
Powder Coating
Which metals can you powder coat?
We powder coat both ferrous and non-ferrous metals, including aluminium, mild steel (MS), galvanised iron (GI) and stainless steel (SS).
What is the difference between epoxy and polyester powder coating?
Epoxy powder gives excellent adhesion and chemical resistance but can chalk in direct sunlight, so it is best indoors. Pure polyester powder resists UV and weather, so it is the right choice for exterior and coastal use.
Do you take powder coating job work?
Yes. Along with coating our own products, ABR Engitech takes powder coating job work from fabricators, builders, contractors and manufacturers in Goa.
Is powder coating better than paint?
For most metal parts, yes. Powder coating produces a thicker, more uniform, more chip-resistant and longer-lasting finish than liquid paint, with no solvents.
Glass Works
What is the difference between toughened and laminated glass?
Toughened glass is heat-treated to be several times stronger than ordinary glass and shatters into small blunt pieces. Laminated glass has a plastic interlayer that holds the pieces together if it breaks and also cuts noise. ABR Engitech supplies both.
Do you make glass partitions for offices?
Yes. We fabricate and install glass partitions for offices, clinics, showrooms and commercial spaces across Goa.
Can you install frameless glass doors?
Yes. We install frameless toughened glass doors with patch fittings and floor springs for shop fronts and office entrances.
Railings
Should I choose SS 304 or SS 316 railings in Goa?
For sea-facing or beach-side properties, SS 316 is recommended because it contains molybdenum and resists salt-air corrosion better. SS 304 is suitable for indoor and inland applications.
Are glass railings safe?
Yes, when made with toughened or laminated safety glass of the right thickness and fixed with suitable hardware. ABR Engitech specifies the glass and fixing for each balcony or staircase.
Do you make railings for staircases?
Yes. We fabricate and install staircase, balcony and terrace railings in glass, stainless steel and aluminium.
