Tiltco has adapted its manufacturing processes to eliminate negative environmental impact through skillful and sensitive production. Tiltco realizes as a manufacturer the responsibilities of creating an energy efficient window to conserve energy and efficiency.
OUR STORY
Tiltco is committed to minimize any negative impacts of our production on the environment. In recognition for environmental management, Tiltco has implemented a recycling program for all aspects of our production waste, facilitating a wide range of technical items to be produced from recycled material. We are currently working with external recycling agencies to process our waste to make sure they do not end up in the wrong place. By reducing toxins and wastes, Tiltco is helping to decrease the effects of climate change.
uPVC
ENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITS
uPVC/vinyl is composed of by weight 57% salt. Although uPVC is manufactured from a naturally abundant material such as salt it can be recycled repeatedly for other building materials. The manufacturing of uPVC/vinyl windows requires two-thirds less energy than aluminum windows thus reducing CO² emissions. This, combined with the lightweight of uPVC/vinyl, requires less energy for transportation. uPVC/vinyl windows are energy-efficient which reduces consumption of heating and cooling energy required by buildings, thus, reducing electricity cost and contributing to environmental design accreditations such as LEED, passive house and netzero housing.
uPVC/VINYL
uPVC/vinyl is one of the most efficient materials that can be used in manufacturing, especially of windows and doors. Below are 5 positive reasons why:
1. uPVC/vinyl requires little or no maintenance creating a healthier, cleaner environment by only requiring a mild detergent and water for cleaning. 2. uPVC/vinyl is deployed mainly from natural resources primarily refined oil products and salt. 3. uPVC/vinyl has the lowest production energy and raw material requirements and emissions of any window and door manufacturing process. 4. uPVC/vinyl is a very safe material to construct fenestration products from in that it self extinguishes when in contact with flame. 5. uPVC/vinyl is strictly monitored by manufacturing standards to continually eliminate the negative effects of vinyl production on the environment.
