Sustainability - Novoferm Green Solutions

The Difference that makes a difference

This is a goal that we pursue rigorously, which is why we select all materials and resources carefully and add our own in-house sustainable developments – our control technology, for example, contains no lead whatsoever and therefore complies with RoHS. Our ranking in this respect is already one of the very best.

Thanks to the active energy-saving mode of the i-Vision control mechanisms, you can save as much as 70% energy compared with products from other suppliers.

Improved Operators, Lower Energy Consumption
Novoferm’s newly developed garage door operators that consume just 0.5 W/h in standby mode set economic and ecological standards over the many years that they are in use.

Eco Friendly Transportation

The logistics concept at Novoferm is a further component of the company’s sustainability policy: The optimized transportation routes have directly reduced environmental pollution.

Reducing Heat Loss While Lowering Heating Bills 
Insulated door leaf made from double- skinned, hot galvanized steel sections with CFC-Free PUR rigid foam core, which provides top sound-proofing and excellent heat insulation, keeping the cold out and the warm in.
