| Use advice for data set | Scope: Productline BGX - insulated installation frame; manufactured by VELUX in Poland for sale in Europe. Declaration according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804 describing specific environmental performance of the construction product. System boundary: Type of EPD: Cradle to gate - with options. The following life cycle stages were considered: Production stage A1-A3: Consideration of the production of raw materials (PU-foam profile, plastics and steel) and their processing (estimated energy data: electrical energy from the national residual mix and thermal energy from natural gas); transport of major materials to the manufacturing site; assembly of semi-finished products to the final product; packaging material (including waste paper input for paper and cardboard). End-of-Life stage C1, C2, C3: C1: a manual demolition is assumed, resulting in indicator value "0". C2: For the transport to EoL by truck a distance of 50 km is assumed. C3: A scenario for the incineration of plastics in a waste incineration plant (WIP) is assumed; metals are assumed to be recycled. The EoL-Scenario does not assume waste to be disposed of on a landfill site. Module C4 is declared as"0". Benefits for the next product system D: Resulting electrical and thermal energy from the WIP, avoiding the generation of electricity and heat via fossil fuels, is considered. The amount of metals after the reduction due to the net-flow calculations is sent to a recycling process. The effort for recycling, as well as the benefit for the regained metals are declared in module D. Contribution of waste flows is considered in the modules where they occur. | ||

| General comment on data set | Insulated installation frame BGX consists of four bars of Purenit® sandwich foam, joined to form a frame in which a roof window can be installed. Insulated installation frame BGX is especially designed for installation in warm roof constructions with solid insulation. BGX fits counter battens and battens with a thickness of 40 mm and 30 mm respectively. BGX ensures that the window is fastened securely to the roof construction, provides optimum insulation and also wind and watertight connection. Insulated installation frame BGX is available for single roof windows only, but by adding extension bars BGX WK--, the installation frame can be used when installing additional elements GIL/GIU (WK34) and VELUX CABRIO® roof balcony GDL (WK19) as well. Installation angle The insulation product can be installed within the roof pitch from 15° to 90°. | ||

| Technology description including background system | The manufacturing at the VELUX site mainly covers processing steps of semi-finished materials purchased from suppliers like profiles and pre-fabricated films, foams and sheets. Technical data: The Declaration of Performance including relevant technical specifications and test methods/test standards can be downloaded from the website www.velux.com/ce-marking. The performance values are specific for the BGX insulated installation frame. The declared values in the table relate to the reference product. For other covered product variants, specific values can be selected at the bottom of the above-mentioned download page. Declared unit: The declared unit is 1 m related to a reference window, that the insulated installation frame is installed in connection with. The declared unit is based on the representative product measuring 1.34 m x 1.60 m. The product BGX is manufactured in Poland. | ||
