When World Environment Day was first marked in the calendar in 1973 and decided to give its due importance year after year, with a view to raise global awareness on environmental issues, little did one expect that within a short span of 50 years the decibel around protecting what is left of the environment around us will reach a crescendo.
The day warrants everyone to pledge consider novel ways to minimize resource consumption, create greener models, become more sustainable, train and motivate youngsters to live in harmony with nature, and become custodians of a green future. In our own ways, each one of us can make a difference to the environment. After all, charity begins at home.
A simple way to start is to look at your own home. If you are building a new home or remodeling your home, shun the traditional wood got your windows and doors. Opt for uPVC or Aluminium Windows and Doors which are not only eco-friendly, but in a way you are contributing to lesser trees being brought down.
With the environment continuing its downward spiral, air pollution have reached alarming levels. uPVC Windows and Doors are excellent thermal insulators. In summers, they are effective in keeping away the scorching sun rays and sweltering heat entering the home, thus reducing the need for an air conditioner. The more the air conditioner is used, more the damage to the environment.
One of the most alluring features of uPVC windows and doors is its recyclability. uPVC is 100% recyclable and retain their characteristics even after recycling. Even the waste material generated during manufacturing can be recycled and reused
Aluminium, on the other hand, is a firm metal and its lightweight nature makes it a perfect choice for the fenestration industry. It is also corrosion resistant. At a time when environmental consciousness is gaining momentum and sustainability and recyclability are becoming buzz words, Aluminium is 100% recyclable and is a very cost-effective source material for production runs. Â Since the re-melting of Aluminium requires less energy, it can easily be recycled to the maximum level during the production process.
In order to encourage green builds, some real estate have shifted to uPVC and Aluminium Windows & Door Systems for nature and humans to coexist in harmony. In summation, if you are a connoisseur of fine and elegant home yet conscious of your actions on the ecological system, pick between uPVC or Aluminium Windows and Doors for your home and be a part of leaving a greener earth for the next generation to breathe easy.
