We are committed to leading the way towards a more sustainable future
innovative and inspirational design solutions to the business . We also utilise Hydro CIRCAL within our product ranges , which pushes the boundaries for high-quality , lowcarbon aluminium .”
As part of a much larger organisation and despite being a large global business , Hydro ’ s values and mission mirror those of a smaller , impactful business . “ Although we are part of a larger group , we ’ re partially owned by the Norwegian Government and our ability to provide quality , sustainable products is by far our number one USP ,” Allan elaborates . “ Sustainability is at the core of everything we do , and it ’ s driven across the entire group all the way through to the individual brands . “ We ’ ve been developing the process of recycling and reusing end-of-life , postconsumer scrap material for several years now . I emphasise that it ’ s post-consumer material because when people think of recycling , they don ’ t tend to think of metal that ’ s previously been used in a building for several years and then re used to create new low carbon products .
“ Old systems are removed from existing buildings and repurposed , putting them back in our value chain ,” Allan tells us . “ This is how we make our Hydro CIRCAL 75R , for instance , which plays a key role in creating our unique profiles and is made from melted scrap material .”
This concept of circularity has led to Hydro Building Systems becoming one of the first
Heat ? Cold ? Have a break .
Without insulation , aluminum windows , doors , and facades transfer heat and cold , leading to a huge loss of energy .
This is where our high-precision insulating profiles come into play . Connecting aluminum panels of any kind , while keeping mechanical performance at the highest level , they prevent direct exchange of heat and cold – and create the “ thermal break ”. The result : Minimized thermal conductivity , optimized efficiency , and a better energy footprint . Simply put , we keep heat and cold outside and a comfortable climate inside – and energy costs low .
