Why Yeşilkaya Pvc?

PVC windows have proven their reliability through scientific researches and have become one of the most suitable options for consumers with their insulation, durability, maintenance and high strength values.

Why Pvc?

The most prominent materials in window manufacturing are wood, aluminium and PVC. Although wood can give good results in terms of insulation, it is not preferred due to its constant maintenance, quick deformability and cost. Aluminium, despite its high strength, is not very advantageous due to its low insulation and high cost.

PVC pencereler ise iyi yalıtıma sahip olması, uzun yıllar dayanarak bakım gerektirmemesi, uygun tasarım ve destek elemanlarıyla yüksek mukavemetlere erişebilmesi, ahşap ve alüminyuma oranla daha düşük maliyeti sebebiyle en çok tercih edilen malzemedir.

In the past, there were many contradictory discussions about PVC as a production material. However, scientific research shows that with modern production methods and processing standards, PVC has become a material that contributes to sustainable development. This is especially true for windows made of PVC profiles.

Important Information About Pvc in the Window Sector;

  • Only 4 per cent of the world’s gas and oil reserves are used in the production of plastics and only 1 per cent of these are used for PVC. 40 per cent of all the world’s gas and oil reserves are used for heating and energy supply to buildings.
  • The main component of PVC is chlorine from rock salt and crude oil accounts for only 43 per cent of the material.
  • PVC windows are at the top of their class in eco-balance and eco-efficiency analyses.
  • New PVC windows offer a service life of over 50 years.
  • PVC producers have certain commitments regarding environmental issues, ecological and sustainable production processes.
  • The PVC content of the windows is recycled to produce PVC granules, which can be used to make windows at least seven more times.

What are the Advantages of PVC Windows?

PVC windows have a very good cost / benefit ratio.

PVC windows offer significant cost advantages both at purchase and throughout their lifetime. Timber frames are approximately 20-30% more expensive than PVC profiles and aluminium windows represent the most expensive alternative, being 30% more expensive. Savings are also achieved in the long term, given the high energy saving potential and minimal maintenance over the entire lifetime of over 50 years.

PVC windows are easy to maintain.

Good quality PVC windows are extremely easy to maintain and require minimal maintenance. Wooden windows, on the other hand, require glass replacement approximately every two years and painting every 5 years. State-of-the-art PVC granulate is highly weather-resistant and light-resistant. Due to the easy maintenance properties of the smooth profile surfaces, all you need to clean the window frames is liquid washing-up liquid.

PVC windows are remarkably durable.

In contrast to windows made of wood, PVC windows have a particularly long service life. Quality windows are characterised by their resistance to deterioration and a high level of functionality over many years. Given their long service life of at least 50 years, PVC windows are also an excellent investment in terms of preserving the value of the building.

PVC windows have an excellent eco balance.

PVC windows are 100% recyclable and therefore save resources. While 40 per cent of all the world’s gas and oil reserves are used to heat and power buildings, only 4 per cent goes into the production of plastics, of which only 1 per cent is used in PVC.

Comparison of PVC and Aluminium Profile Performances in terms of Carbon Footprint

When the U (Heat conduction coefficient W/(m2.-K) values related to the profile cross section are compared, the best result is the PVC profile. Aluminium profiles have high U values because they are metal.

Carbon Footprint: It is a measure of the damage caused by human activities to the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon Footprint calculates the amount of greenhouse gas emissions caused by a business or an activity, which commonly refers to the potential for global warming. CO2 equivalent is measured in kilograms or tonnes.

In the study, carbon footprints of PVC and aluminium window profiles were calculated and compared. While the carbon footprint of the PVC window profile is 248.8 kg CO2, the carbon footprint analysis of the aluminium profile has increased to 486.0 kg CO2. The carbon footprint of the aluminium window profile is 2 times higher than the PVC profile. In addition, the thermal performance of PVC profiles is superior. The good performance of PVC profile has resulted in it being a preferred material for window production.

As a result of the study, it is proved that PVC window profiles should definitely be preferred in sustainable design when looking at energy performance and even other performance indicators such as energy, thermal performance and structural performance throughout the product life cycle.
