Sustainability

With increasing concern around climate change, environmentally aware manufacturers, like FIN, are actively searching for ways to produce high-quality products that withstand the natural forces of nature and provide the most beneficial climate and cost-effective solution for homeowners.

To do so successfully, this comes down to exceptional design and planning that takes advantage of the location’s natural climate. FIN’s high-performance aluminium windows and doors consistently provide an easy, hassle-free solution.

At FIN, we are committed to ongoing research and advancements of thermally-efficient residential glazing systems to ensure we produce sustainable window and door systems.

As a building material, aluminium has positive environmental impacts and benefits, and is known to have one of the highest recycling rates of any other metals.

New scrap from the manufacturing process, like extrusion, is often not contaminated and can be easily remelted and reprocessed with very little further treatment needed, resulting in almost a 100% recycle rate.

Old scrap, like beverage cans and other building and transport materials, is recycled by scrap metal merchants who sort and separate it from other metals like iron and steel.

This scrap is usually remelted into silicon based alloys by secondary refiners and used predominantly for aluminium castings.

Aluminium recycling requires only 5% of the initial energy consumed to create it making it an excellent alternative, from an environmental and financial perspective.

With features like weather sealing, exceptional functionality and pleasing aesthetics, FIN’s outstanding range of performance products ensure your home exceeds its optimal energy-efficient standards.

For even further impressive energy-efficiency, our Thermal Break range delivers exceptional thermal insulation and environmental credentials incorporating up to 25% recycled metal content sourced from smelters using hydro-electric energy sources.

We understand it’s difficult to know where to start and what to consider when choosing the right windows and doors for your home and lifestyle. That’s why we’ve created this helpful guide designed to arm you with all the relevant information you need to make an informed decision.

By choosing a FIN window or door as an original fitting for your new home, or as a replacement, you’re making a genuine step to minimising your carbon footprint and addressing important issues surrounding climate change.
