I UNDERSTAND WINDOW DOORS INSTALLED & DONE INSPIRATION ABOUT US PLUG START > ABOUT US > BEST ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICE DOORS & WINDOWS THAT TAKE THE ENVIRONMENT INTO ACCOUNT If you choose a window or an exterior door from EKSTRANDS, you also make the best environmental choice. With us, better environmental choices also go hand in hand with a longer service life. We are e.g. alone to provide a 10-year guarantee on the painting (5 years in coastal areas). We'll tell you why! SOLVENTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL TOXINS As wood protection on windows and doors, paint and impregnation with environmentally hazardous solvents and environmental toxins have been used for decades. From an industrial perspective, these systems are easiest to use because they are quick-drying. But the development has progressed and there are alternatives today. Ekstrands has been involved from the beginning in the development of more environmentally friendly waterborne paint systems. Already in the 80's, our exterior doors were painted with environmentally friendly colors. The color system that Ekstrands uses today has also proven superior in independent tests: Larco testrapport nr. P801026 af d. 22.1.09 enligt EN 927-2 och EN 927-3, Larco testrapport nr. 32/07/9079/01 af d. 12.01.09 enligt EN 599-1/klass 3a, Larco testrapport nr. 290/75903/51 af d. 13.9.88 enligt prEN 927-3, Larco testrapport nr. 320-42409/50 af d. 29.9.95 enligt prEN 927-3, samt forskningsprojekt: AIR3-CT94- 2463 och CTBA/FINEURO. Våra ytterdörrar är dessutom garanterat fria från formaldehyd. Något vi troligen är helt ensamma om i branschen. VARFÖR ANVÄNDER INTE ALLA TILLVERKARE MILJÖVÄNLIG FÄRG? Idag går det att miljöcertifiera fönster & dörrar. Men en Svanenmärkning begränsar dock inte vacumimpregnering med lösningsmedel. Ej heller miljögifter som bly eller färgsystem som innehåller lösningsmedel. Det ställs alltså låga krav på tillverkarna. Vattenbaserade färgsystem är svårare att jobba med. De medför t.ex. längre torktider som innebär längre produktionstider. EKSTRANDS har trots detta sedan 90-talet valt att använda och utveckla vattenburna färgsystem. ÅTERVINNING Våra träfönster är återvinningsbara. Beslag och glas avlägsnas innan fönstret går som brännbart. ENVIRONMENTAL THINKING IN THE ORGANIZATION Ekstrands has for decades sorted all waste from production. For us a matter of course. In our daily work, there is a continuous upgrade to energy-efficient alternatives. For many years, we have converted our 50,000 m2 production areas into district heating from renewable energy sources. In addition, we participate in a local cycle where the factory delivers briquettes of the waste to solid fuel boilers in the same place. Of course, we also participate in organizations for recycling packaging, etc. READ PDF ABOUT BEST ENVIRONMENTAL CHOICE GO TO CONSTRUCTIVE WOOD PROTECTION READ MORE DOORS & WINDOWS PRODUCT FEATURES READ MORE EXTREME GUARANTEES READ MORE Family business with own production since 1945 Ekstrands Dörrar & Fönster AB Södra Portgatan 28 283 50 Osby Telefon: 0479-100 40 E-post: info@ekstrands.com Nyheter Kontakt Referenser Pressrum
