Holistic approach allows a broad view in product development with regard to the sustainability aspects an integrated approach of actions in the nature and long-term environmental impact in production and operation of buildings. Schuco products in Windows and facades have a significant influence on the nature of building envelopes. Of course the prevention of emissions and the use in particular of heating and cooling energy continues also a determinant in the building. But the holistic approach extends the views on other determining factors such as durability and resistance, as well as to considerations about the end of life of the product and recycling. The issue recurring also provides another aspect after the selection eco-friendly raw materials such as plastics. Aluminium as a material which aluminium is the material, are established already since a long time functioning value cycles. It so happens that today approximately 75 percent of the aluminum produced since 1888 are in the circuit.

This is much to the endless recyclability, which is given by aluminium without loss of quality. Also 5% of energy must be used for only about, which are necessary for the production of primary aluminium. All once installed aluminum forms a material, recycling and energy storage for future generations, which can be reused by real recycling recycled countless times without compromising its texture and properties here. Closed recycling cycles are reality for metals and must be not only painstakingly installed. Large amounts of window and facade elements be returned to daily aluminum recycling. Window system Schuco AWS 90.SI + green and Facade system FW 50 + .SI green with the Schuco window system AWS is 90.SI + green and the Schuco system FW 50 + .SI green Schuco product generation to which responds to more holistic market requirements through the use of future-oriented, ecological materials.

For these products castor oil is used including insulating bars and pressure profiles as a significant source of renewable raw materials in the polyamide. This enables to equip Schuco, serial-enabled aluminum Windows and facades with significant proportions of renewable raw materials in the plastics and partly replace fossil raw materials. The examination by an independent certification process (DIN CERTCO) ensures that the intended content of renewable raw materials will also be achieved. Schuco system solutions for Windows, doors, facades and solar. Schuco realized with its worldwide network of partners, architects, planners and investors sustainable building envelopes, in harmony with nature and technology the Provide people with its needs in the foreground. This complies with the highest standards of design, comfort and safety, at the same time through energy efficiency reduces CO2 emissions and conserves the natural resources. The company with its divisions of metal construction, plastics and new energies delivers targeted products for new construction and modernization, which meet the individual requirements of the user in all climates. Schuco is active with more than 5,000 employees and 12,000 affiliates in 78 countries and has generated an annual turnover of 2.

Universally Applicable: PCI Nanolight Suitable For Almost Any Surface

Posted by domain admin in News

For ten years an essential generalist at the construction site of screed about mastic asphalt, gypsum fibre or PVC up to old ceramic coverings as diverse as the substrates is also the range of tile adhesives. Professionals are well advised here in terms of reduction of inventories, residues and logistics expenses with a universally applicable for different areas of application material. This recognized also the construction chemicals specialist PCI Augsburg GmbH about ten years ago and brought a product for all applications on the market that set new standards with the light variable Flex mortar, PCI Nanolight. Until today the proven universalist among professionals has lost none of its popularity: over the past decade, a total of approximately 55 km2 was reliable with PCI Nanolight and sure laid with tiles this is equivalent to about 7,700 football fields. A success story that began about ten years ago in Augsburg: The complex market of tile adhesives for processors to make easier to read and this is a straightforward PCI with the light variable Flex mortar, PCI Nanolight brought a product on the market that revolutionized the industry thanks to nano – and light mortar technology and its properties until today as a pioneer is to provide solution for all areas of application. Special: No matter what surface, whether indoors or outdoors multitalented suitable for all ceramic coverings to walls and floors. “There are cement screeds, plasterboard, mastic asphalt, OSB or particle, old PVC or ceramic coverings or metal surfaces there is hardly a field for the PCI Nanolight was not the right choice”, Elke Thiergartner, product manager for tiling of PCI Augsburg GmbH explains. Even with terraces, swimming pool and in the commercial sector of the variable flexible mortar ensures a safe and permanent connection between tile and substrate.. Gary Kelly has plenty of information regarding this issue.

Infrared and Heat

Posted by domain admin in News

In the course of our work with clients, we had many questions about gender and infrared doubt about answers dealers, resellers and manufacturers of infrared films. The answers to these questions, we decided to obtained empirically. Infrared warm floor under the linoleum? First, we are interested in the question was: "whether an infrared heated floor lay directly under the linoleum with no plywood or gypsum fiber board?". The answer is – yes you can, but if … …

.. we bed in order substrate, film, vinyl, because of the inherent softness of linoleum and heat reflecting substrate at high risk of mechanical damage to infra-red film. If we exclude the substrate, then the risk mechanical damage is reduced at times, but it suffers from efficiency infrared film. This means that while you will not get warm the concrete base to set the thermostat to the temperature, the film will be continuously heat, while spending precious kilowatts. So, my advice is do not skimp and do it right – heat-substrate, an infrared film, plywood or gypsum fiber board, and only after the linoleum. How much power consumption Film? To this question I can answer both – it depends on many factors.

One of the main, is the type of flooring. It all depends on what his heat. If the floor holds the heat for a long time, so thermostat will be less likely to include heating infrared film exposed to the temperature you. There also appears next factor that influences the consumption of precious kilowatts – the difference between the temperature setting on thermostat and the air temperature in the room.
