Door Industry Journal - Summer 2023

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Industrial Doors & Shutters Alpha Deuren EPDs Updated - Now Valid Until December 2027 Alpha Deuren recently updated its EPDs (Environmental Product Declarations), as it is increasingly common for projects to require these statements, which concern the potential environmental impact of a product or service. The Alpha EPDs have been available for five years, with the update meaning they remain valid until 23/12/2027. The new EPDs follow a “Cradle to Grave” approach, encompassing the entire lifecycle of the product, including its use and waste phases. Within DoorCalculation, there are a total of 8 English-language versions available, each corresponding to a specific door type. These can be accessed by clicking on the Information button under General Information - Certificates/Conditions: 1. ISO door 2. ISO door with wicket door 3. ISO door with electric drive 4. ALU door 5. ALU door with wicket door 6. ALU door with electric drive 7. Helix ISO 8. Helix ALU For the 40mm, 60mm and 80mm door variants, a single EPD has been created, consolidating the relevant data. The EPD displays the calculated values for the 40 mm variant. To obtain accurate values for other door types, a formula provided in the Calculation Rules section can be used. The EPDs have been approved at the European level and can also be downloaded from the ECO platform (www.eco-platform.org).
