  • Material: Extruded from UV-stabilized PVC-u for durability and weather resistance, matching the lifespan of typical PVC-u windows.
  • Weep Vents: Integrated weep holes allow wind-driven rain to drain from the cavity wall, preventing moisture buildup.
  • Simple Installation: The Arch Former comes with clear instructions for a straightforward installation process.
