Eco Friendly System

Taking care of the planet is something a lot of people talk about and most people want to be a part of. We at Abacas Doors put this into action by doing lots of little clever things to reduce this carbon footprint. Choosing a door from us will help support the future of this fragile planet, so take some action and order the right door from us.
Whether you want a Composite Door or a Upvc Door the manufacturing process allows us to create the frames, leaf and glazing systems all under the same roof within the Nottinghamshire area.
Due to the location of the outfits we have the door to door delivery system with no additional distribution points throughout the UK. When it comes down to eco support you will agree being central within the UK distribution miles are greatly reduced, which in turn saves on fuel. One journey means your door also arrives in perfect condition. Working with less waste also helps as we do supply high quality and stylish doors. Obtaining this standard requires us making door leafs from 3 set sizes and extrusions from 10 enviromentally friendly lengths.
Undergoing the reduction of energy loss we have put our composite doors and Upvc doors through their paces to test just how much heat these doors do deflect. The results for all this hard work has given back U values of 1.0 W/(m2.K) and Upvc values of 1.34. This means great news for the environment and also backs the new consumer guidelines which take effect in October 2010. Overall the outcome of these tests are to prove you can keep your energy bills down which in turn means you win all round.
In October the new Building Regulations cover the energy efficiency of all buildings and include windows and doors. New build homes and replacements/improvements to existing buildings are included and the new regulations are designed to meet greater energy efficiency requirements and lower carbon emissions.
Whether you are building a new home or replacing an existing door, the new door will have to meet strict energy efficiency requirements to comply with the regulations. Any door fitted on or after the 1st October 2010 must have a U-value of 1.8 or less. Failing to comply with these regulations will result in local sanctions to remove the installed equipment and be replaced with approved equipment.
What is a U-value? The U-value measures the rate at which heat is lost through the material. The lower the amount of heat is lost, the lower the energy wastage and the lower the U-value.
