How to Build a Sustainable Home with Deceuninck

We’d’ like to walk you through the critical aspects of creating a sustainable home with Deceuninck, from energy-efficient uPVC windows and doors to recyclable building materials and more.

• Efficient double glazing helps to reduce energy usage and costs, leading to a greener carbon footprint
• Recycling resources like glass, PVC, and aluminium helps lead to less waste throughout the industry
• Building products that are made to last helps to reduce the need for replacement parts and waste build-up

The Foundations of Sustainability

Before diving into the specifics, let’s establish what sustainability truly means in the context of home construction. A sustainable home is one designed, built, and operated to have minimal negative impacts on the environment while enhancing the health and well-being of its occupants. This holistic approach to sustainability encompasses various aspects of the construction process:

Energy Efficiency

A sustainable home should be highly energy-efficient, minimising its energy consumption for heating, cooling, lighting, and appliances.

Resource Conservation

It should make efficient use of resources such as water, materials, and land and reduce waste generation.

Indoor Air Quality

Prioritise the health of occupants by ensuring excellent indoor air quality through proper ventilation and the use of non-toxic materials.

Durability

Sustainable homes are built to last, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.

Resilience

Consider the home’s ability to withstand natural disasters and adapt to changing environmental conditions.

Now that we’ve established the foundation, let’s explore how Deceuninck can help you achieve these sustainability goals:

Energy Efficient Windows and Doors

Windows and doors play a pivotal role in your home’s energy performance. Inefficient windows and doors can result in significant heat loss during winter and heat gain during summer, leading to higher energy bills and increased environmental impact.

Deceuninck offers a range of energy-efficient solutions that can transform your home’s sustainability profile.

High Performance Profiles

Our window and door profiles are designed with thermal efficiency in mind. They feature advanced multi-chambered designs and thermal breaks that prevent heat transfer, keeping your home comfortable year-round.

Our window and door profiles are thoughtfully designed with thermal efficiency at the forefront. Featuring advanced multi-chambered designs, these profiles effectively trap pockets of air within the frame.

This trapped air acts as a natural insulator, creating a barrier against heat transfer. As a result, your home remains comfortable and energy-efficient year-round.

Double and Triple Glazing

Choose from our double or triple glazing options to enhance insulation and minimise heat loss.

Our double glazing option consists of two glass panes separated by a spacer bar. The space between the panes is filled with air or a specialised insulating gas, such as argon or krypton. This configuration provides excellent thermal insulation, helping to keep your home cosy while reducing energy consumption.

For those seeking the highest level of insulation, our triple glazing option is the ideal choice. It features three glass panes, two spacer bars, and two insulating gas chambers. Triple glazing provides exceptional thermal performance, making it perfect for homes located in frigid climates or areas with stringent energy efficiency requirements.

Weather Sealing Technology

Our windows and doors are equipped with top-notch weather-sealing technology, ensuring a tight seal to prevent drafts and energy loss.

Our seals are engineered with precision, ensuring a snug fit between the sash and frame. This craftsmanship minimises gaps and vulnerabilities that could allow air infiltration.

We use durable, high-quality materials for our weather seals, making them resilient against wear and tear. Even in extreme weather conditions, our seals maintain their effectiveness.

The longevity of our weather-sealing technology is a testament to its quality. You can trust that your Deceuninck windows and doors will continue to perform at their best for years to come.

Solar Gain Control

Opt for our glazing solutions that allow for optimal solar gain control, allowing you to harness natural heat and light while maintaining energy efficiency.

Recyclable and Sustainable Materials

Beyond energy-efficient windows and doors, Deceuninck places a strong emphasis on the sustainability of our materials. We are committed to using recyclable materials in our production processes, minimising waste, and reducing our environmental footprint.

Our uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) profiles are not only highly durable but also recyclable, ensuring that they can be repurposed at the end of their life cycle.

Eco-Friendly Manufacturing

Deceuninck’s commitment to sustainability extends to our manufacturing processes. We employ eco-friendly practices, including recycling and responsible resource management, to minimise our impact on the environment.
