Overall data quality is very good.347All YKK AP® products are manufactured in Dublin, Georgia, USA. As such, the geographical coverage for this study is based on United States system boundaries for all processes and products. Whenever US background data were not readily available, European data or global data were used as proxies.The main material input into the YKK AP manufacturing process is aluminum ingot. The ingot is first alloyed to the desired
grade and cast into billets. Subsequently, the billets are extruded into profiles using steel dies that are manufactured
on-site. The extruded profiles may then be anodized or painted. Optional thermal treatment, whereby a system is
thermally broken, leads into the product’s fabrication and assembly. Lastly, the complete assembly is packed for shipment.Heavy duty terrace doors create weather resistant access to exterior spaces, security, privacy and a barrier to the outside world. YKK AP® terrace doors can be used with YKK AP storefront, window wall and curtain wall systems. Terrace doors with the ProTek® Hurricane and Blast mitigating designation are designed to protect buildings from the impacts of hurricanes and man-made disasters.EPD_YKK AmericaPartly terminated systemAttributionalnoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massAs required by EN 15804, in case of insufficient input data or data gaps for a unit process, the cut-off criteria were 1%
of renewable and non-renewable primary energy usage and 1% of the total mass input of that unit process. The total of
neglected input flows per module was a maximum of 5% of energy usage and mass.
In practice, all inputs and outputs for which data are available have been included in the calculation. Data gaps have
been filled by conservative assumptions with average or generic data. Capital items for the production processes
(machines, buildings, etc.) were not taken into consideration.Environmental Product Declaration - Aluminum Balcony Door Systems95.0No statementthinkstepthinkstep2019-02-01T00:00:00.000ILCD format 1.1thinkstepNo official approval by producer or operator2019-02-01T00:00:00.00000.00.001Data set finalised; entirely publishedGaBi databasesthinksteptrueFree of charge for all users and usesGaBi (source code, database including extension modules and single data sets, documentation) remains property of thinkstep AG. thinkstep AG delivers GaBi licenses comprising data storage medium and manual as ordered by the customer.
