Trade association for plastic window frames VKG Keurmerk supports this and now has more than 120 members and partners who ensure quality, actively acquire knowledge and share. RecyStel, too, is now a VKG partner.

Certainty of quality

Window finishers who work with a manufacturer or supplier with VKG Keurmerk have assurance of quality. Only companies that meet all VKG quality requirements can become VKG Keurmerk members or VKG Keurmerk partners. Moreover, mechanics, inspectors, work planners and sales staff are extensively trained.

VKG Hallmark is the trade association for manufacturers, suppliers and processors of plastic window frames. The chain quality mark offers consumers and companies additional assurances when purchasing plastic window frames. For example, by guaranteeing the quality, installation and durability of the products supplied. Both in new construction and renovation projects.

RecyStel fully supports the mission and vision of sustainable quality and shared responsibility. With the production of 100% recyclable frame profiles, Recystel is even taking a pioneering role.

Why a frame profile?

A frame profile is lath or frame that is inserted into the wall opening (cavity) of a building, forming the connection between the exterior and interior walls. Thanks to the frame profile, the final installation frame sits much more securely in the cavity and prevents damage. Because the mounting frame is not anchored in the cavity, there is less risk of cracks and damage in the interior wall. Moreover, the risk of loosening of the frame is cleverly overcome. However, the main function of the mounting frame profile is to ensure proper and durable crack sealing and wind and water tightness and to prevent drafts in the cavity wall.

VKG-proof

VKG stipulates that frame profiles must be sufficiently strong, rigid and durable to sustainably carry loads in accordance with NEN-EN-1990 and 1991. In addition, the frame profile must allow a flat, square and gap-free connection of the VKG façade elements. The RecyStel structural frame profiles meet these requirements and in addition add some other advantages toe.

Why a frame frame from RecyStel?

RecyStel's frame profiles are produced in the Netherlands and consist of more than 95% of recycled materials from old, disassembled window frames, leftover pieces and saw waste. The "donor material" is high-quality PVC that is free of plasticizers. This makes the profiles many times more durable than wood.

RecyStel frame profiles are impervious to weathering, do not absorb moisture, do not rot or mildew and do not warp or twist. Another special feature is the use of a special foam gas, which makes RecyStel frame profiles as easy to process as wood. The foam gas also ensures excellent thermal insulation. With a U-value of 0.38 W/m²K, the thermal insulation performance is even up to 40% better than standard plastic! This also makes RecyStel frame profiles ideally suited for passive house constructions, Zero-Meter homes and (B)ENG projects.
