The first widespread myth is the belief that this type of construction is by definition more expensive than using conventional materials and technologies. The truth is that this is an investment that will pay off in the long run.
Energy-efficient doors and windows significantly reduce the heating and air conditioning costs, resulting in lower bills. In addition, when made of robust materials, they are durable and weather-resistant, so there is no need for frequent repairs and replacement of window frames. This makes this solution more cost-effective in the long term compared to traditional construction.
Another popular misconception is that sustainable construction is only about using green energy. While photovoltaic panels and heat pumps do play a vital role in green construction, other measures are equally important. These include the following:
High-quality windows, doors, screens and façades that reduce heat loss play a key role in the energy efficiency of a building. This is why, rather than focusing only on renewable energy, we should approach the issue from a broader perspective, taking into account all aspects that contribute to the energy efficiency and low carbon footprint of a building.
Yet another unfounded myth is the belief that recycling building materials reduces the quality of the resulting products.
In fact, modern technologies for processing raw materials make it possible to reuse them without losing their functional properties, as exemplified by the ultra-low carbon aluminum used in the production of Aluprof joinery. Manufactured in highly efficient smelting processes, using a high proportion of post-consumer waste (making it recycled material by definition), it retains excellent durability, corrosion resistance and visual appeal. Ultra-low carbon aluminum stands out for its exceptionally low CO₂ emissions, making it a great choice for anyone who values sustainable and eco-friendly construction.
It is often said that sustainable solutions can be applied only to new buildings. Nothing could be further from the truth! Retrofitting existing buildings has the potential to significantly improve their energy efficiency and reduce their CO2 emissions. Replacing windows with energy-saving models, installing modern façades and sunshades, and using innovative high-insulation doors are all investments that make it possible to transform older buildings into ones that are more environmentally friendly and cost-effective.
The drive to minimize the environmental impact of buildings continues to gain ground in building regulations, urban development strategies and environmental policy. Today’s legal standards require increasingly energy-efficient solutions, and the growing environmental awareness among investors makes green technologies much more than merely a passing fad.
If you wish to make your home more comfortable, reduce your energy bills and help protect the environment, opt for energy-efficient products. Aluprof offers a wide range of doors, windows, façades and sunshades that will allow you to create environmentally friendly and cost-effective solutions tailored to your needs.
