General comment Dataset developed within the ARCADIA Project (production chain study regarding PVC frame for windows “PRODUZIONE
DI TELAI IN PVC PER INFISSI E SERRAMENTI E PRODUZIONE DI FINESTRE IN PVC CON VETROCAMERA A DOPPIO O TRIPLO VETRO”). The dataset is representative of the Italian average processing technologies commonly used for the production of PVC frame for windows.
The data set covers relevant process steps / technologies over the supply chain of the represented cradle to gate inventory with a good overall data quality. The inventory is based on primary data for PVC-U compounding and window assembly, and on secondary data (literature and/or LCI datasets)
representative of Italian supply chain.
The PVC frame for the production of windows is completed with reinforcement, hardware, gaskets, glazing blocks, screws. Dimensions: frame depth 76 mm; frame length 5.42 m; window’s dimension 1.23 m x 1.48 m. |
