ALURON aluminium window and door systems
Use advice for data set The life cycle analysis of the declared products includes the production stage (modules A1 - A3), A4, C1-C4+D (“from cradle to grave with options”) according to EN 15804 and ITB PCR A.
Technical purpose of product or process The ALURON company has been setting trends on the joinery market in Poland and abroad since 2002. Its offer includes aluminium, aluminium-wood and PVC-aluminium systems. The EPD environmental declaration developed as part of this document covers aluminium window and door systems. An aluminium frame construction, without glazing between profiles, is included in the study. Aluminium window and door systems Window and door systems enable various types of window and door structures that can be used on the outside or inside of buildings. The main materials of window and door systems are aluminium profiles and glass filling the spaces between the profiles. This EPD covers the aluminium structure manufactured by ALURON; glazing which can be co-produced in window or door elements is not included. Aluminium window and door systems are characterised by a high level of aesthetics and great freedom in the arrangement of interior space. Such systems are used in various types of cubature objects, most often in office or service buildings, but they are also used among others in residential buildings or social and office parts of industrial and storage facilities. In the development of ALURON systems, many years of design experience were used. The company's solutions are distinguished by original utility models and patent applications. Aluminium systems offered by ALURON consist of profiles (constructional, drip caps, slats, sills), accessories (gaskets, screws, clips, plugs) and additional materials (templates, assembly elements). All systems are interlinked which allows the use of many common components and accessories. Aluron aluminium systems present excellent technical properties in terms of thermal insulation, water tightness, wind resistance, fire resistance or smoke tightness. Products from the ALURON ALU series are multisystem and innovative aluminium building systems, developed in line with current architectural trends. They are characterised by original design, emphasising the design and aesthetics of the building in space. The durability of aluminium guarantees many years of durability and aesthetics. Systems that meet the requirements of zero-energy and energy-efficient buildings are also produced.
General comment on data set The data for the calculation of modules A1-A4 are derived from verified LCI inventory data from each plant. According to Annex E of PN-EN 15804 + A2 data quality assessment was carried out. For technical representativeness, processes with "very good" quality represent 99% of the values for climate change indicators. For geographical and temporal representativeness, the process rating was “very good”. Allocation in this study was created in accordance with ITB PCR A guidelines. Production takes place at the Zawiercie plant, for which input data have been inventoried. The results obtained are representative average for all aluminium window and door systems produced in Zawiercie. All revenues from the extraction of raw materials used in production are allocated to module A1. Production of products is based on raw and recycled materials. The content of recycled aluminium is assumed to be 20%. Module A2 is the transport of raw materials to the production plant in Zawiercie. The electrical energy, gas, fuel and waste consumption for the entire production process has been inventoried and included in module A3. 100% of the input materials and 100% of the electricity and fuel consumption were inventoried at the Zawiercie plant. The assessment takes into account all relevant parameters from the collected production data, i. e. all materials used for production, electricity, gas and fuels used during production and direct production waste. Packaging materials were inventoried: finished products are packed in foil and cardboard boxes.

1This impact category deals mainly with the eventual impact of low dose ionizing radiation on human health of the nuclear fuel cycle. It does not consider effects due to possible nuclear accidents, occupational exposure nor due to radioactive waste disposal in underground facilities. Potential ionizing radiation from the soil, from radon and from some construction materials is also not measured by this indicator.
2The results of this environmental impact indicator shall be used with care as the uncertainties on these results are high or as there is limited experiences with the indicator.
