Sustainability

Who would have thought? The foil-laminated PVC window is without a doubt a sustainable building product!

How can that be, when plastic is threatening to choke our oceans and microplastics can now be found all over the world? But if you take a closer look, you will realise that PVCu is a high-quality material that offers several proven advantages that even surpass natural building materials.

Anyone thinking about investing in the energy efficiency of their home would do well to find out about the excellent thermal insulation of uPVC windows. They offer high savings in energy consumption over their long service life and can be completely and even repeatedly recycled at the end of their life cycle.

In addition, the window industry places a strong focus on sustainable production along the supply chain and implements specific initiatives to protect the environment. From energy generation through solar panels to the utilisation of its production waste and recycling of old windows, which today serves as a role model for a functioning circular economy.

The foil-laminated PVC window is a high-performance element of the building envelope and is particularly suitable for challenging construction projects with the highest demands on energy efficiency. Thanks to foil lamination, architects and building owners have an endless choice of colours and decors to choose from.
