Architectural framing systems by Lidco: sustainable and stylish

There are a number of the reasons why more people are considering Lidco's aluminium framing systems as the environmentally sustainable choice for their next project:

Increased Energy Efficiency
The bulk of heat gain or loss occurs though the glazing system. The most efficient way to reduce this gain or loss is achieved by optimising solar heat gain and incorporating double glazing in the aluminium window and door systems.

Recycling
Aluminium is 100% recyclable. Whilst Lidco's framing systems are manufactured with 100% first grade aluminium, at the end of the building's life 100% of this aluminium can be recycled for other uses, without compromising any quality.

No Deforestation
Aluminium is originally sourced as bauxite, a significant worldwide resource representing 8% of the Earth's crust. Bauxite deposits by their nature, location and geological formation are such that minimal or no deforestation is required in its extraction, minimising the environmental footprint.

Built to Last
Whilst every glazing system will eventually need to be replaced, aluminium window and door systems last decades longer than wood and vinyl windows. An aluminium window, door or framing system from Lidco provides a better long term return on your investment.

Less Toxic Waste
Aluminium in the event of a fire, heaven forbid, will not release toxic gases into the Earth's atmosphere. By having your window or door system painted or anodised, any future toxic waste generation is avoided as no further treatments other than minimal maintenance and care is required.
