NP Ultra window handles

NP Ultra window handle with key-operated lock. Reversible, same window handle for both Side-Hung and Tilt-and-Turn. Used in combination with NP ULTRA Mechanisms. It is locked to the profile by screwing the 2 special screws, pre-assembled on the window handle body, into the fixing plate provided in the mechanism. There is no need for any milling on the sash tubular profile, it only requires straightforward machining on the profile wall (3 holes Ø6.2 mm), so there is a specific punch. In the Logica version When the pull handle is at 180°, and therefore the sash is in the fully open position, it is not possible to remove the key from the cylinder (Key Capture system). Handle and packaging customizable with the logo of the customer. Finishes: • Base Painting (allows the customer to paint the product as if it were a raw product), • Powder coatings •TREND BE finishes

Limitations

EPDs within the same product category but published in different EPD programmes, may not be comparable. For two EPDs to be comparable, they shall be based on the same PCR (including the same first-digit version number) or be based on fully aligned PCRs or versions of PCRs; cover products with identical functions, technical performances and use (e.g. identical declared/functional units); have identical scope in terms of included life-cycle stages (unless the excluded life-cycle stage is demonstrated to be insignificant); apply identical impact assessment methods (including the same version of characterisation factors); and be valid at the time of comparison.

Ownership

The EPD Owner has the sole ownership, liability, and responsibility for the EPD.

Description of the organisation of the EPD Owner

GIESSE S.p.A. founded in 1965, in the province of Bologna, is specialized in the production of manual accessories for aluminum windows and doors. In 2016 it was acquired by Schlegel, a leading British company in the sealing systems sector. Both companies were part of the international division of Tyman PLC, a group listed on the London Stock Exchange, with a commercial network capable of reaching customers in over 100 countries and offering them the highest degree of satisfaction, a wide range of standard components and boasts over 150 patents filed. In 2024, the entire Tyman group and its brands, including Giesse, were acquired by the American multinational Quanex, forming a new major group in the sector, with a turnover of over 2 billion. Quanex Building Products Corporation, listed on the NY Stock Exchange, is a manufacturing group that offers building product solutions that include hardware solutions (door/window hardware, screens), extruded solutions (spacers, vinyl profiles for doors and windows, gaskets and sealing systems) and custom solutions (solutions for the wood, mixed and building access industries.

DisclaimersDisclaimer 2 The GWP-GHG indicator is termed GWP-IOBC/GHG in the ILCD+EPD+ data format. The indicator accounts for all greenhouse gases except biogenic carbon dioxide uptake and emissions and biogenic carbon stored in the product. As such, the indicator is identical to GWP-total except that the CF for biogenic CO2 is set to zero.

Additional environmental information

Main materials used to build the accessories are recyclable.

- It is recommended that accessories, packaging, etc. are disposed of accordingly, with local

disposal regulations and sent to a recycling unit for recovery and recycling

- Before sent to disposal it’s recommended to separate the materials as below:

Steel / Stainless Steel: Ferrous metals

Aluminium alloy / Zinc alloy: Non-ferrous metals

Plastic components (PA, PP, PE, POM, etc): Plastic wastes
