Sustainability
Building a sustainable future with GreenVue Constructions.
Very little energy is used to produce uPVC window frames and these can be recycled into new uPVC window frames up to 6 times before retiring to indoor use and being recycled into other useful items like plumbing pipes etc.
Not only does the actual production process create less energy, but also long-term uPVC will outlast timber and aluminium in terms of ‘life expectancy’, thereby eliminating the need for additional energy requirements as a result of replacing warped timber or corroded aluminium windows.
Out of all window framing materials, uPVC has by far the least impact on the environment. PVC is a recyclable material that requires fewer resources than metal alternatives.
PVC window frames last a lifetime and the hardware we use has a lifespan of about 30 years with technological advances improving this figure all the time.
When your windows and doors are being replaced with our products, we reuse or repurpose the material where possible. Timber products are de-nailed, milled and transformed into furniture, flooring/decking etc. Any old aluminium windows or doors are sent to scrap metal yards for recycling.
uPVC is a natural insulator and combined with an ingenious German designed multi chamber profiles, our windows and doors have a low conductivity of heat and cold. uPVC windows and doors insulate your home by keeping air sealed tightly within the system. This leads to less reliance on air conditioning units and heaters to regulate the temperature within your home. Greenvue Constructions uPVC windows and doors therefore conserve energy and save money in the long run.
