Sustainability at Albany Windows

UPVC

Over the course of recent times, uPVC has improved its eco-friendly and sustainable properties, making it one of the better materials available for the long term. In a similar sense to aluminium, uPVC is also strong and durable yet is also fairly lightweight.

This combination means that the structure can be reformed and repurposed up to ten times before it starts to show an effect on performance and overall quality. Many of the uPVC products available can also be up to 100% recyclable. Many people still don’t know that uPVC can be recycled and can even have a lifespan of a couple of hundred years.

These benefits all essentially outweigh the fact that uPVC is not an organic material, as while it is important in terms of sustainability, it is certainly not the dealbreaker some may think it is. Especially when it comes to construction and home improvements, the materials used will typically have to be durable and versatile in its capabilities. We have a wide range of uPVC products at Albany Windows, including windows, doors, and conservatories.

Why sustainability is important

For the environment

Companies can often seek to prioritise the fast-paced production of products and create quick turnover in order to maximise their profits. As a result, this can and does lead to an enormous amount of waste being produced. Prioritising the purchase of sustainable building and home improvement products and limiting the rapid production of materials is what homeowners should look into for future projects.

For the consumer

Through the purchase of sustainable products and materials, there is a good chance that homeowners can actually increase the resale value of their property. Sustainability in the home is also a viable option in terms of increasing the healthy nature and overall comfort of your house. Furthermore, if you are able to conserve energy then you will be able to save money a lot easier.
