My head is starting to hurt. We just got the latest Kleeneze catalogue through the letterbox and there is an advert for uPVC restorer and PVCu cleaner. Buy both together and save a pound. What on earth is the difference, I've only ever heard of uPVC, what is the other one?
It's blurb: 'unplasticised' is a verbal adjective and so, in the English language, is before the noun; I'd guess that 'PVCu' is just to avoid confusing thetruth with facts.
Keith,
Both mean *exactly* the same.
There was a so called 'name change' in the mid 1990's simply so that everybody - including those on the continent spoke the same language - at least that was the reason given to a group of us dealing with the paperwork for the 'plastic' stuff then!
Whether true or false, I called it UPVc then, and still do now (except when dealing with the pedantic in the trade [more so in the younger members and very rare in us old timers]).

You mean they're different? No wonder that bloody shelf didn't fit.
Thanks Cash, I kind'a guessed that would be the answer. It was both being side by side in the same advert that made me doubt.
What, like when those young whippersnappers insist on talking in mm whilst you still measure in inches :-)
