The company’s [https://aluprof.eu/gb/architects/products/window-and-door-systems/mb-slimline-window-system-with-a-thermal-break#/materials/general-information MB-Slimline] product range is also preferred in many [[Heritage|heritage]] projects in the UK and Ireland that can meet the challenging planning requirements whilst meeting the specifiers’ design, [[Security|security]], and energy requirements.

Aluprof UK not only provides solutions to architects or commercial uses but also supplies [[Consumer|consumer]] range of products for the [[Homeowner|homeowners]] including [[Horizontal_sliding_window|sliding]] and folding doors that are widely used in the UK market besides garage door systems, external venetian [[Blinds|blinds]] and [[Exterior_shutters|rolling shutters]], secure [[Entrance|entry doors]], [[Window_screens|insect screens]] and [[Solar_shading|solar shading]] systems.

== Innovation and Research ==

The company has its own [[Research_and_development|research]], [[Research_and_development|development]] and [[Testing|testing facility]] that includes the largest test chamber for windows, doors, curtain walls and exterior roller shutters in central and eastern Europe where water & [[Wind_load|wind load]] resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, [[Airtightness_testing|airtightness]], and [[Security|security tests]] are conducted on its systems and products.

Aluprof SA is the first company to use the innovative [[Aerogel|Aerogel]] in its Passive range products including [https://aluprof.eu/gb/architects/products/window-and-door-systems/mb-104-passive-aero-door-and-window-system-with-a-thermal-break#/materials/general-information MB-104] and [https://aluprof.eu/gb/architects/products/window-and-door-systems/mb-86-aero-window-door-system-with-a-thermal-barrier#/materials/general-information MB-86] to maintain exceptionally low [[U-values|U-Values]] for increased thermal insulation.

Furthermore, Aluprof UK has the widest range of fire-rated products and systems to meet the rigorous standards of the UK market.

Many of Aluprof products and systems are certified by [[Secured_by_design|Secured by Design]], [[Passive_House_Institute|Passivhaus Institute]], [[Cradle_to_cradle_product_registry_system|Cradle2Cradle]], PAS 24, BS4873 and Certifire.

== Working with specifiers and fabricators ==

Aluprof UK works with architects and specifiers with their assigned individual project managers to provide the most appropriate solution for projects through each stage of the RIBA Plan of Work.

Aluprof UK also maintains a close and direct relationship with its accredited fabricators in the UK and Ireland to meet the demands of the specifiers with high-quality manufacturing and installation processes.

== Logistics ==

Aluprof UK has implemented a [[Logistics|logistics]] system based on just-in-time principles to meet the continuous demand of its clients in the UK and Ireland. The closely monitored manufacturing and shipment process give Aluprof UK a [[Just-in-time_logistics|just-in-time logistics]] capability without the need to maintain a central [[Warehouse|warehouse]] in the British Isles. Operating without a central warehouse helps the company reduce its [[Carbon_footprint|carbon footprint]] by eliminating excessive [[Transportation|transportation]] between the [[Manufacturing|manufacturing]] plant to the warehouse and then to the [[Construction_site|construction site]].

== Environmental Policy ==

In 2021 April, Aluprof has made a statement to achieve [[Carbon_neutrality|climate neutrality]] by 2050 and to have reduced its carbon footprint by fifteen per cent by 2025.

[[Environmental|Environmental]] and [[Social_value|social objectives]] stand out amidst the company’s many commitments, which include obtaining further [[Cradle-to-cradle|Cradle to Cradle™]] certifications and the ongoing improvement of the company’s manufacturing processes under the [[ISO_14001|ISO 14001]] environmental management system. Aluprof has also updated the detailed analysis of their products’ carbon footprint and presented its commitments in terms of [[Sustainable_development|sustainable development]].

One key to this goal is the company’s use of [[Low-carbon_industrial_product|low-carbon]] aluminium. Aluprof’s modern extrusion plant in Kty, Poland uses low-carbon billets which equate to just 2.79 tCO2e. In comparison, the production of one ton of primary aluminium in most parts of the world has an average emission of 16.7 tCO2e, almost six times higher than of Aluprof. The company achieved the low level of carbon emissions with the use of up to 65% of [[Recycled_material|recycled]] aluminium content in low-carbon aluminium billets.

To meet its long-term strategy, Aluprof SA renewed its corporate [[Brand|branding]] with a new logo and brand look in April 2021. Aluprof UK became a [https://www.passivhaustrust.org.uk/ Passivhaus UK Trust] patron member in May 2021.

Aluprof SA is the first company to use the innovative [[Aerogel|Aerogel]] in its Passive range products including [https://aluprof.eu/gb/architects/products/window-and-door-systems/mb-104-passive-aero-door-and-window-system-with-a-thermal-break#/materials/general-information MB-104] and [https://aluprof.eu/gb/architects/products/window-and-door-systems/mb-86-aero-window-door-system-with-a-thermal-barrier#/materials/general-information MB-86] to maintain exceptionally low [[U-values|U-Values]] for increased thermal insulation.

Furthermore, Aluprof UK has the widest range of fire-rated products and systems to meet the rigorous standards of the UK market.

Many of Aluprof products and systems are certified by [[Secured_by_design|Secured by Design]], [[Passive_House_Institute|Passivhaus Institute]], [[Cradle_to_cradle_product_registry_system|Cradle2Cradle]], PAS 24, BS4873 and Certifire.

== Working with specifiers and fabricators ==

Aluprof UK works with architects and specifiers with their assigned individual project managers to provide the most appropriate solution for projects through each stage of the RIBA Plan of Work.

Aluprof UK also maintains a close and direct relationship with its accredited fabricators in the UK and Ireland to meet the demands of the specifiers with high-quality manufacturing and installation processes.

== Logistics ==

Aluprof UK has implemented a [[Logistics|logistics]] system based on just-in-time principles to meet the continuous demand of its clients in the UK and Ireland. The closely monitored manufacturing and shipment process give Aluprof UK a [[Just-in-time_logistics|just-in-time logistics]] capability without the need to maintain a central [[Warehouse|warehouse]] in the British Isles. Operating without a central warehouse helps the company reduce its [[Carbon_footprint|carbon footprint]] by eliminating excessive [[Transportation|transportation]] between the [[Manufacturing|manufacturing]] plant to the warehouse and then to the [[Construction_site|construction site]].

== Environmental Policy ==

In 2021 April, Aluprof has made a statement to achieve [[Carbon_neutrality|climate neutrality]] by 2050 and to have reduced its carbon footprint by fifteen per cent by 2025.

[[Environmental|Environmental]] and [[Social_value|social objectives]] stand out amidst the company’s many commitments, which include obtaining further [[Cradle-to-cradle|Cradle to Cradle™]] certifications and the ongoing improvement of the company’s manufacturing processes under the [[ISO_14001|ISO 14001]] environmental management system. Aluprof has also updated the detailed analysis of their products’ carbon footprint and presented its commitments in terms of [[Sustainable_development|sustainable development]].

One key to this goal is the company’s use of [[Low-carbon_industrial_product|low-carbon]] aluminium. Aluprof’s modern extrusion plant in Kty, Poland uses low-carbon billets which equate to just 2.79 tCO2e. In comparison, the production of one ton of primary aluminium in most parts of the world has an average emission of 16.7 tCO2e, almost six times higher than of Aluprof. The company achieved the low level of carbon emissions with the use of up to 65% of [[Recycled_material|recycled]] aluminium content in low-carbon aluminium billets.

To meet its long-term strategy, Aluprof SA renewed its corporate [[Brand|branding]] with a new logo and brand look in April 2021. Aluprof UK became a [https://www.passivhaustrust.org.uk/ Passivhaus UK Trust] patron member in May 2021.
