The intrinsic qualities of aluminium, its infinite recyclability, strength and lightness, durability and low maintenance qualities mean it is one of the most sustainable building materials.
Our technical documents for Health and the Environment provide specifiers, contractors and developers with valuable information about the environmental impact of our systems and facades.
Technal is also working with leading industry specialists to continually improve recyclability and to reduce carbon emissions during the life cycle of our products.
Research and development work into insulation has achieved an impressive four-fold increase in the thermal performance of our systems over the last 20 years.
And the trend towards larger glazed spans has resulted in increased solar gain in winter and less reliance on artificial lighting.
