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 refers to the production of an average PVC frame for windows, including all window’s elements (reinforcement, hardware, gaskets, glazing blocks, screws) and excluding the glass and spacer. 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: 1 m. |
