Environmental Certifications and Legislations
Recognised and independently certified declarations allow us to target sustainable projects.
Low Carbon Aluminium, Verified Performance. Designed for a Circular Built Environment.
As part of Hydro, a global leader in low-carbon aluminium and circular manufacturing, TECHNAL UK & Ireland delivers facade, window, and door systems designed to help architects, contractors, developers and fabricators meet the UK and Ireland's evolving environmental expectations.
Our approach is grounded in verified data, third-party certification, and transparent lifecycle reporting, ensuring compliance with national legislation while supporting global leading sustainability frameworks.
UK & Ireland Environmental Legislation and Policy Drivers
As UK and Irish legislation accelerates the transition to low-carbon, energy-efficient and circular construction, TECHNAL provides architects, specifiers and project teams with facade, window and door systems that support credible sustainability strategies. Made with Hydro CIRCAL® 75R - an aluminium with a minimum of 75% recycled post-consumer scrap - our aluminium building solutions help reduce operational and embodied carbon while maintaining architectural performance.
