Sustainability with TECHNAL

At TECHNAL, sustainability isn't a trend - it's the way we shape windows, doors and sliding systems for modern British homes. We believe great design should be beautiful, durable and responsible, helping you to create spaces that are brighter, warmer and more connected, without costing the earth.

Whether you're renovating a Victorian townhouse, extending a family home or building something new, our low-carbon aluminium systems offer the perfect balance of elegance and environmental performance.

A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SUSTAINABILITY

Creating a more sustainable home starts long before a product arrives on-site. It begins with the choices we make at every stage of design and manufacturing.

At TECHNAL, we take a whole-home, whole-lifecycle approach to sustainability. That means:

• using recycled end-of-life and low-carbon aluminium

• designing products that last for decades with minimal maintenance

• powering production with renewable energy

• reducing waste at every step

• ensuring everything can be recycled again at the end of its life

For homeowners, it means windows and doors that look refined and truly contribute to a more thoughtful, future-ready home.

ACTING NOW TO REDUCE OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

At TECHNAL, we're committed to shaping homes that feel beautiful today while protecting the world our families will live in tomorrow. That's why we've set an ambitious goal: to halve our CO2 footprint by 2030 compared with 2018. And we're already making real, measurable progress.

Here's how those commitments translate into benefits for your home:

1. Smarter metal sourcing - aluminium with real impact

Aluminium is infinitely recyclable, which is why we use recycled end-of-life material. By choosing this circular approach, we've reduced the carbon emissions linked to aluminium sourcing by 50% so far.

For you, this means windows and doors made with responsibly sourced, low-carbon aluminium, without compromising on strength or design.

2. Lower-carbon components for a cleaner supply chain

Every detail counts. We use recycled polyamide in our thermal break components, helping cut emissions from component sourcing by 40%.

It's a small change with a meaningful impact, contributing to a more sustainable home.

3. Greener production powered by renewable energy

We continuously optimise how our sites operate, from reducing electricity use to investing in cleaner energy. Since 2018, this approach has helped us lower production-related emissions by 15% per tonne processed.

This ensures that your TECHNAL products are created with care - for your home and for the planet.

4. More efficient packaging and transport

We've transformed our packaging, reducing its carbon footprint eight times. And with smarter routes, better fuel choices and improved vehicle technology, we've halved emissions from transport.

Your aluminium windows and doors now arrive more efficiently with less impact on the environment.

5. A more responsible workplace

Sustainability also comes from everyday habits. Through remote working, digital training, better waste management and more mindful behaviour, we've reduced workplace transmissions by 50%.

It's another way we ensure that your home upgrade is part of a wider positive change.

WINDOWS AND DOORS DESIGNED FOR THE FUTURE

TECHNAL products are made from 75% recycled, post-consumer aluminium and are 95% recyclable at end of life - meaning they can be reborn as new windows and doors again and again.

We offer our low-carbon aluminium as standard for UK homeowners:

Hydro CIRCAL® 75R - 75% post-consumer recycled aluminium

Made with end-of-life aluminium (such as old windows and doors), this material has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the world at just 1.9kg per kg of aluminium. This is at least an 80% reduction when you compare it with the global average for primary aluminium. What's more, we can provide Environmental Product Declarations that are specific to your project - it's ideal if you want sustainability with independently verified impact.

Designed to last - Today and for decades ahead

Sustainability isn't just about how products are made and what they're made with. It's also about how long they last.

TECHNAL products are made for:

• long-term durability

• minimal maintenance

• excellent thermal and acoustic performance

• timeless architectural design

• maximising natural light
