Hydro Building Systems and Saint-Gobain Glass are joining forces to drive decarbonisation by helping the building industry design sustainable façades that have circularity built in. The two companies are leading the way through the use of low embodied carbon products thanks to a high percentage of recycled materials: specifically, Hydro Building Systems aluminium façade products manufactured from Hydro CIRCAL® 75R and the Saint-Gobain Glass ORAÉ® glass substrate.

Accelerating their commitment to sustainable development, TECHNAL part of Hydro, has become the first aluminium building system companies to manufacture door, window and curtain walling profiles from 100% recycled aluminium - Hydro CIRCAL 100R. The new recycled material is produced from 100% post-consumer aluminium. This means it is possible to specify profiles with a near-zero carbon footprint (0.5kg of CO2e/kg of aluminium on average) - the lowest in the world.

In apartment, in an individual house, an office building or even a hotel, optimization of space and interior comfort are essential subjects regularly addressed by the prime contractors. We have created an innovative CLIMATIC WINDOW that produces heat or cold thanks to its aluminum frame.

The ACTIVE ACOUSTIC WINDOW is a real innovation for occupants wishing to ventilate their interiors while protecting themselves against outside noise. This sliding joinery system provides acoustic insulation against airborne noise even when open.

Technal South East Asia was a proud sponsor of the Top Ten Awards ceremony hosted by BCI ASIA in Singapore on the 4th of May. The award is a prestigious label of excellence that recognizes the ten leading design and development enterprises that have made the greatest contribution to the building environment in the previous year.
