EPD certification achieved

Yale Door and Window Solutions has achieved a product-specific Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification for its Revolution Window Hinge.

The globally recognised declaration provides environmental information on the Yale Revolution Window Hinge and the materials used to make it. It also details the manufacturing processes involved, including the environmental implications of the raw material used, energy efficiency, transportation impact, and waste generation.

The EPD highlights Yale’s commitment to sustainability and can help contribute to LEED and BREEAM compliance.

Paul Atkinson, sales and commercial director for Yale Door and Window Solutions, said: “This latest EPD certification is a key part of our commitment to providing customers with a range of sustainable products.

“The Revolution hinge already offers class-leading functionality and quality, so the addition of an EPD positions the product as both an industry and environmental leader.”

Thanks to its dual closing function, the hinge can be switched after installation between anti-blowback and easy close functions depending on specification and housing requirements. Onsite configuration allows for increased flexibility across housing portfolios with multiple building types and also helps reduce time and costs associated with returns or contractors carrying high levels of stock.
