The ecological side of materials: why plastic windows are a problem
Plastic windows, although often seen as a cheaper alternative, hide serious environmental problems in their manufacture and during their lifetime. The process of manufacturing plastic windows begins with the extraction of oil to produce polymers, the basic material for the production of plastics. This extraction is often associated with environmental devastation and ecological damage to the sites where the oil is extracted.
The production of plastic windows itself requires large amounts of energy and chemical processes that involve various toxic substances and greenhouse gas emissions. These processes have a significant negative impact on the environment and air quality.
In addition, plastic windows have a limited lifespan. Although they are weather and corrosion resistant, their structural integrity deteriorates over time. This ultimately means that plastic windows must be replaced frequently, which increases waste.
Recycling of plastic windows is problematic. Many of these windows contain various types of plastic polymers that are difficult to separate and recycle. This means that the recycling process is often costly and inefficient, and therefore unlikely.
As a result, most old plastic windows end up in landfills or incinerators, resulting in increased waste and greenhouse gas emissions into the air.
Compared to vinyl windows, wood and wood-aluminium windows have a significantly smaller ecological footprint. They require fewer non-renewable resources to produce, are recyclable and can have a long lifetime, contributing to a more sustainable approach to the environment.
Wood and aluminium windows: the green and durable choice
Timber and aluminium windows are a green and durable choice in providing an efficient and environmentally responsible solution for homes and buildings. Our company focuses on manufacturing these types of windows, emphasizing their environmental benefits and long-term durability.
Wood, the main building material of these windows, is a renewable resource. Compared to non-renewable raw materials such as plastic or metal, wood is a material that can be renewed through properly managed forest management practices. This characteristic makes wooden windows a more environmentally friendly alternative as they do not deplete non-renewable resources.
In addition, wood windows excel in longevity and durability. Their construction and quality of workmanship allow some types of wood windows to last well over 100 years. This durability minimizes the need for frequent window replacements, reducing waste and saving energy that would otherwise be spent on new windows.
Wood and aluminium windows are also easily recyclable. They can be recycled or processed into biomass during their lifetime or when they are disposed of. This helps minimize their ecological footprint compared to materials that are difficult to recycle, such as plastic.
When choosing timber windows, it is also important to highlight their ability to contribute to insulation and energy efficiency in homes. Their natural insulating properties help maintain the temperature indoors, reducing heating and cooling costs.
Create a safe and ecological environment in your home
With our timber and wood-aluminium windows you can transform your home into a place where security and ecology combine in harmony. Their exceptional features contribute significantly to creating an environment where you not only feel comfortable, but also conscientious of the environment.
One of the most striking features of our windows is their ability to provide excellent insulation. This insulation is not just about maintaining the temperature inside, but also about minimizing heat or cold loss, which ultimately means lower costs for heating and cooling your home. This natural way of regulating temperature not only contributes to your well-being, but also to energy savings.
In addition, thanks to our windows you will experience natural warmth. The ability of wood to retain heat contributes to creating a pleasant atmosphere in the interior of your home. This welcoming environment promotes relaxation and well-being, which is invaluable, especially after a long day full of responsibilities.
An important aspect of our windows is their ecological benefit. They contribute to a more sustainable lifestyle thanks to the use of renewable resources and their long service life. They minimise waste production and emissions, which is important in terms of environmental protection nowadays.
