Environment - Greenline
For more than a century Kmmerling has invested in
research and innovation, improving quality of life to the
benefit of each and every one of us. Controlled technology
has enabled the brand to offer products of an exceptional
quality particularly in terms of PVC-u profiles for windows.
Today, our position as one of the leading PVC-u suppliers requires us to go even
further to anticipate the inherent responsibilities of an industry that is faced with the
challenge of preserving a balanced and harmonious environment.

Environment - Recycline
Recycline, an initiative to reduce PVC-u waste by 100%,
provides a complete service for Kmmerling fabricators to
ensure window profiles are efficiently recycled. Using the
latest processing technology and a full integrated collection
and distribution system, fabricators and their customers
can enjoy sustainable windows with minimal disruption.
The European PVC-u industry, Vinyl 2010 initiative, actively encourages members
to invest and realise the advantages of recycling and Recycline does exactly that.
Recycline, a profine Group recycling initiative, directly tackles many environmental
and legislative issues whilst delivering a cost effective service to all fabricators.
Due to its unique properties, PVC-u is widely recognised as one of the best and most
fit-for-purpose materials for windows and doors. Durable for 50 years or more PVC-u
can tolerate all weather conditions and extreme temperatures. PVC-u once discarded,
however, may last for hundreds of years without degrading in landfill. Rather than
dispose of a valuable and durable material, Recycline endeavours to recycle PVC-u,
significantly reducing the burden on landfill sites.
The Recycline Process
Partners of the Recycline initiative dispose of all off-cuts and other profile waste
produced in allocated cages, which are located onsite.
Once the cages are full with profile waste, they are collected and emptied
by Recycline lorries.
Recyline lorries then transport the waste to the processing plant where both
the PVC-u and rubber is ground into granules.
The granules are then put through a sortex machine which separates the
PVC-u granules from the rubber.
PVC-u granules are then transported back to Germany to be reprocessed
into PVC-u.

Energy Efficiency
Consumers, specifiers and legislators are increasingly
focusing on the energy efficiency of building products. To
respond to the challenge of raised expectations, the British
Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC), in conjunction with the
UK glazing industry and European partners has designed
a window rating system to meet this need for simple and
accurate information.
The BFRC provides third party certification for the total thermal performance of
windows using a fair, accurate and credible assessment scheme, as does Certass
with their Thermal Rating Register (TRR). Windows are rated using the familiar A to G
scale on the basis of their total energy efficiency, where an A-rated window is more
energy efficient than a G-rated window. Consumers and specifiers can quickly and
easily choose the most suitable window for their needs. Government inspectors and
agencies can quickly and easily see if the window meets the legal requirements and
energy agencies can see if the window meets their criteria for support.
The Window Energy rating assesses the whole window energy performance
and covers the frame material, the frame design, the glass type and all the other
components that make up the window. The rating is carried out by computer
simulation and gives a single number that can be used to compare the energy
performance of a window simply and quickly.

Passivhaus
Passivhaus buildings provide a high level of occupant
comfort while using very little energy for heating and
cooling. They are built with meticulous attention to detail
and rigorous design and construction according to principles
developed by the Passivhaus Institute in Germany, and can
be certified through an exacting quality assurance process.
Our KBE System 88 product already carries Passivhaus
Certification.
According to the Passivhaus Trust, a body that profine UK Ltd is part of, to
achieve the Passivhaus Standard in the UK typically involves:
very high levels of insulation
extremely high performance windows with insulated frames
airtight building fabric
thermal bridge free construction
a mechanical ventilation system with highly efficient heat recovery
With pan-European brands
including Kmmerling, the
German-based profine Group
has considerable experience
in such projects both for the
commercial and one-off
residential applications. Within
the Kommerling portfolio are
a number of products that can
achieve Passivhaus standards
including the KBE System 88
and the new lift and slide
PremiDoor 88.
08
Quality Standards
As one of Europes most innovative window and door
systems company, you can be assured that the quality of
our products is equally matched by the standards we work
to both in the UK and all across Europe. We carry extensive
accreditations and our test report is further evidence
of our commitment and ability to deliver the very best
environmentally sensitive window and door systems.
As a Group we carry ISO 9001:2008 and most recently the ISO 50001 standard
for the energy management system we operate in Pirmasens, Germany. Profine
has reorganised its energy management, set itself binding energy targets and has
consistently expanded its present energy management system.
These energy targets include a specific saving in extrusion energy of at least 3.5%
in the first year. At present, the company is heading in the right direction supported
by the latest pumping technology, with other technical improvements planned for
the future. These also address personnel awareness, above all in the electricity
intensive fields.

Test Certificates
Many PVC-u profile extrusion companies boast of the quality of
their product. This section is dedicated to those organisations that
wish to discover the sheer extent of the uncompromising quality
of Kmmerling window systems and the evidence to prove it.
One of several case studies undertaken shows that Kmmerling PVC-u profiles do indeed
stand the test of time. The below case study provides real-life examples that confirm
Kmmerlings position as Europes most dynamic brand for PVCu window and door profiles.
Case Study: Fifteen years of exposure to the extreme climate and temperature
fluctuations of Bernina in Switzerland - the perfect environment to test the longevity of
any window installation and the ideal platform to provide solid evidence of the durability
of Kmmerling profiles.
The Albergo Ospizio Bernina, situated at a height of 2,309 metres, was fitted in 1976
with Kmmerling PVC-u windows. In 1991 two of the fifteen year-old windows were
removed and tested.
The uniqueness of the region, which is continuously exposed to long periods of hard
frost, violent storms, an inhospitable climate and increased radiation, provides the
perfect opportunity for a thorough examination of the windows durability.
The results of the tests carried out on the windows showed that they were in excellent
condition, both visually and technically. The sash rebate seal still functions correctly
and has suffered no impairment. The pivoting point, which is subject to the greatest
wear, is still fully intact and all the metal components are free of any corrosion.
