Technical purpose of product or process MORAD Sp. z o. o. has a range of aluminium products including: AZ-45 - A system of aluminum profiles used to create internal architectural elements that do not require thermal insulation, such as partition walls, windows, doors. The system is made of high-quality aluminum profiles without thermal breaks. AC-62 - A system of aluminum profiles with a thermal break intended for external construction: windows, doors, showcases. The system is constructed of three-chamber profiles made of the highest quality aluminum and connected with a thermal break. The width of the profiles allows you to combine very high technical and thermal parameters with a low price of the system. AC-77 HI - The system is intended for external construction requiring particularly high thermal insulation parameters. High thermal insulation of the profiles is ensured by the increased depth of the profiles and the multi-chamber structure of thermal breaks, which also ensures greater stiffness of the profile. The system combines wide design possibilities with an affordable price. AC-84 EI - Aluminum system designed for interior and exterior doors where fire resistance class EI30 or EI60 is required, with the possibility of expanding the development with double-sided sidelights and an upper transom. Three-chamber aluminum profiles, connected with a thermal break, ensuring very good strength and thermal parameters. AP-180 - A modern aluminum lift-and-slide door system, ideal for both small and large spaces. The basis of the system are aluminum profiles connected with a thermal break, thanks to which it is possible to obtain excellent insulation and mechanical parameters of the structure. AC-77F - The folding door system offers a unique solution for using space while maintaining a high standard of aesthetics and functionality. AC-77P - The design of panel doors is based on the threechamber AC-77 system, which uses an innovative thermal break. Allowing for the construction of doors faced on both sides. AB-OPTIMAL - The AB-OPTIMAL system is a multi-system of post balustrades, designed so that on the basis of several profiles you can easily and quickly build a balustrade filled with glass, perforated sheet, HPL board or vertical balusters. It is characterized by high quality aluminum elements and mechanical properties. BE-25 - A modern aluminum system designed for external terraces and balconies, allowing for maximizing space. The tightness of the structure is ensured by properly designed aluminum profiles of the window sashes, protecting against external weather conditions. This system is dedicated to developing spaces that do not require heating. BE-53 - A modern aluminum system designed for external balcony enclosures, allowing for maximizing space. The tightness of the structure is ensured by properly designed aluminum profiles of the window sashes, protecting against external weather conditions and noise. This system is dedicated to developing spaces that do not require heating. HORIZONTAL - A modern system of aluminum profiles for balcony enclosures, allowing integration with balustrade systems. It provides additional protection against unfavorable weather conditions, such as rain, snow and wind, while increasing the usable space of the balcony. Thanks to the use of high-quality materials, it allows for improved acoustic and thermal insulation. More information about balcony and terrace construction systems on the manufacturer's website. -
General comment on data set The data selected for LCA originate from ITB-LCI questionnaires completed by manufacturer and verified during data audit. No data collected is older than five years and no generic datasets used are older than ten years. The values determined to calculate A1-A3 originate from verified Process LCI inventory data from manufacturing plant. A1 values were prepared considering input products characteristics and are based on Ecoinvent 3.10 data (EF v2). The energy consumption of production and its impact on the production lines (profiles) was inventoried and calculated. For aluminum, the weighted average carbon footprint declared by suppliers was used. In accordance with Annex E of the EN 15804 + A2, a data quality assessment was performed. For technical representativeness, processes with a quality level of "very good" account for 99% of the value for climate change indicator. For geographical and time representativeness, processes level of "very good" is obtained. The allocation rules used for this EPD are based on general ITB PCR A (v1.6). Production of aluminium window and door systems, balustrades and balcony structures from aluminium is a line process executed by of MORAD Sp. z o. o. in plant located in Tuchom (Poland). Allocation was done on product mass basis. All impacts from raw materials extraction and processing are allocated in module A1 of the LCA. Impacts from the global line production of MORAD Sp. z o. o. were inventoried and were allocated aluminium window and door systems, balustrades and balcony structures from aluminium. Water and energy consumption, associated emissions and generated wastes are allocated to module A3. Packaging materials were takien into consideration. The life cycle analysis (LCA) of the declared products covers: product stage – modules A1-A3, end of life – modules C1-C4 and benefits and loads beyond the system boundary – module D (cradle-to-gate with options) in accordance with EN 15804+A2 and ITB PCR A. Energy and water consumption, emissions as well as information on generated wastes were inventoried and were included in the calculations. It can be assumed that the total sum of omitted processes does not exceed 5% of all impact categories. In accordance with EN 15804+A2, machines and facilities (capital goods) required for the production as well as transportation of employees were not included in LCA.

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.
