WINDOW TO THE WORLD
Fenesta believes that the right doors and windows play a big role in helping green your home
Fenesta is India’s leader in luxury doors and windows and the brand has an eye on the future as it looks to help homemakers create green homes using these products. India Today Home spoke to Saket Jain about how doors and windows fall in the realm of green design.
HOW CAN DOORS AND WINDOWS MAKE A HOME SUSTAINABLE?
According to Energy Star (US), 25 per cent to 50 per cent energy loss occurs through fenestration. Our products have airtight sealing, which stops cool air from escaping outside and hot air from entering. This leads to faster cooling of rooms, cutting down of thermostats quicker and saving of energy by up to 30 per cent.
FENESTA’S ECO-FREINDLY PROCESS
Fenesta understands the consequences of fast-depleting natural resources. uPVC (unplasticised polyvinyl chloride) is gradually replacing wood and aluminum. Using uPVC for windows and doors frames therefore helps in conserving natural resources (wood). Energy required to manufacture uPVC profiles is far lesser than that of aluminum. Besides that, uPVC can be recycled. Adhering to parameters put down by Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), Fenesta manufactures energy-efficient windows or doors using uPVC—an eco-friendly material that has distinctive properties such as durability, UV-resistance, insulation, and recyclability.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR THE BRAND?
As a futuristic brand we also have alternate avenues for our internal door segment. With increasing concern for environment and green buildings, hybrid plastic is the next big thing. They are made of recycled wood fiber or wood flour and thermoplastics replace wood. The need for novelty and understanding consumer dynamics constantly keep us on our toes. Innovation with agility is the direction that Fenesta follows.
