Engineered for Strength and Longevity
Manufactured from high-strength polymers such as un-plasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVVC), our large diameter tubing offers exceptional dimensional stability, impact resistance and durability. UV-resistant grades ensure long service life in outdoor installations with minimal maintenance and no corrosion or rotting - a significant advantage over traditional metal alternatives.
Our advanced extrusion lines maintain precise wall thickness and internal diameters, backed by rigorous quality control, ensuring that every batch meets tight tolerances and performs consistently in service.
Fully Customisable to Project Requirements
Every project has unique demands, which is why BWC Profiles offers a fully customisable product range. Customers can specify:
- Internal and external diameters
- Wall thickness
- Lengths cut to size
- Bespoke colour matching
- Specialist UV stabilisers and additives
- Grades optimised for indoor or prolonged outdoor use
Combined with in-house plastic injection moulding, we deliver complete systems - from extruded tubing to perfectly matched end caps, connectors and custom fittings.
Versality across Key Industries
BWC Profiles' thick-walled, large diameter tubing is trusted across multiple sectors where performance, reliability and cost-effectiveness are crucial considerations. Below, we outline some of the most common applications in the UK market.
Sport and Recreation
In the sports and leisure sector, safety, durability and visual appearance all play a role in specifying structural components. Our large diameter plastic tubing is widely used for permanent and portable goal posts, training equipment uprights, pitch-side barrier systems and even aquatic sports structures. The material's high impact strength ensures that posts and frames withstand repeated contact without splitting or splintering, while UV stabilisation prevents fading and brittleness under prolonged exposure to sunlight.
For water-based sports and installations, uPVC's inherent resistance to moisure, chlorine and saltwater make is a practical choice for floating docks, lane dividers and support frameworks. Clubs, schools and councils benefit from equipment that remains safe, functional and visually presentable with minimal maintenance year after year.
Construction and Infrastructure
On construction sites and in civil works, our thick-walled extruded tubing provides robust, lightweight alternatives to traditional metal pipes in non-pressurised applications. Common uses include protective sleeves for buried electric cables and fibre optic ducts, large-bore drainage and ventilation systems. Also, void formers for concrete foundations or piles.
Contractors and civil engineers value the material's excellent corrosion resistance, especially where soil conditions, moisture or exposure to chemicals could rapidly degrade metal alternatives. Additionally, the reduced weight compared to steel simplifies handling and installation on site, saving time and improving site safety.
Furniture & Display
Within the furniture, retail and exhibition sectors, large diameter tubing offers designers an attractive balance of strength, ease of fabrication and clean aesthetics.
Rigid uPVC tubes are widely specified for table frames, modular seating supports, garment rails, retail display systems and exhibition structures. The extruded profiles can be supplied in custom colours and surface finishes, from high-gloss or matte to textured effects that align with contemporary design trends.
Dimensional consistency and clean cuts mean that tubes integrate seamlessly with standard fittings, brackets or fasteners - and when paired with our injection moulding end caps, feet or connectors, manufacturers receive a complete, professional finish, ready for for installation or display.
Industrial & General Manufacturing
In demanding industrial environments, large diameter thick-walled tubing is relied upon for protective sleeves around hydraulic and pneumatic hoses, process ducting for air or light materials, lightweight machine frameworks and chemical-resistant conduits for non-pressured flow systems.
Applications range from protective shrouds that prevent abrasion and impact damage on plant floors, to modular machine structures where high rigidity must be achieved without the weight and corrosion issues of metal. The chemical resistance of uPVC ensures that tubes used in processing lines remain unaffected by mild acids, alkalis or cleaning agents, extending service life and minimising downtime.
Injection Moulding for Bespoke End Components
In addition to extrusion, our in-house injection moulding capability allows us to supply fully integrated solutions. We can produce custom end caps, connectors, flanges or fittings that mate perfectly with our extruded tubes - simplifying installation and extending product versatility.
