Combining durability and responsibility

We’re rethinking how we design and package our products to combine durability with responsibility. By using recycled and certified materials, we reduce reliance on virgin resources while ensuring long-lasting quality.

Sourcing recycled materials

We already have several partnerships in place to support our aim of increasing the recycled content in our products. For example, we work with Novelis – the world’s largest aluminium recycler. They are providing us with high recycled content flat-rolled aluminium for use in our products. We also work with Arcelor Mittal who provides us with low-carbon emission steel that is produced using a minimum of 75% scrap steel and 100% renewable electricity.

 

Through partnerships like this, we can reduce our reliance on virgin resources used and extend the lifetime of the valuable materials we use in our products.

Built to last

We produce high-quality roof windows and accessories and have confidence that they will last for many years with occasional maintenance and cleaning. In the rare event that our products do not meet our customers’ expectations, we offer the following guarantees:

    Guarantees

    We use high-quality materials in our products and always consider the impact of materials on the environment. That's why 100% of the wood in our Residential window products is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) or the Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). License numbers: FSC-C108944 PEFC/09-31-020.

     

     

    Circular thinking in practice

    We’re on a mission to cut plastic from our packaging and make it fully recyclable by 2030. Step by step, we’re switching to paper-based solutions that protect our products and simplify recycling. It’s a big change, but one that makes a real difference for installers and the planet.
