This EPD covers the 76/105 Group wood and wood aluminium clad doors. The doors are outward opening customized building components. Dimensions (height x width) are adapted according to customer's requirements. The results are an average of the whole group. 76/105 Group doors includes the following products: 76/105 Balcony doors – Wood; 76/105 Balcony doors – Wood with aluminium cladding; 92/115 Doors – Wood; 92/115 Doors – Wood with aluminium cladding. The products included in the 76/105 Group are very similar products and go through the same production steps. A wooden frame is identified to be the single highest contributor to the differences within the declared group of products. The products with the wooden frame of 17,5 kg are 76/105 Balcony doors, the products with the wooden frame of 22,50 kg are 92/115 Doors. The biggest total result difference between the products without aluminium cladding in mandatory LCIA categories are as follows: Eutrophication, marine (EP-fw, kg N eqv.) and Photochemical ozone formation - human health (POCP, kg NMVOC eqv.) are 4% lower for doors with wooden frame of 17,5 kg than with wooden frame of 22,5 kg. Global warming potential (GWP-total, kg CO2 eqv.) is 2% lower for doors with wooden frame of 17,5 kg. The biggest total result difference between the products with aluminium cladding in mandatory LCIA categories are as follows: Eutrophication, marine (EP-fw, kg N eqv.) and Photochemical ozone formation - human health (POCP, kg NMVOC eqv.) are 3% lower for doors with wooden frame of 17,5 kg than with wooden frame of 22,5 kg. Global warming potential (GWP-total, kg CO2 eqv.) is 1% lower for doors with wooden frame of 17,5 kg. Overall, the difference is within +/-10%, for the total of modules A1-C4 across any of the core impact indicators. Given that the results are presented in two result tables for 1 m2 of a door, i.e. the results of a product with the lowest amount of wood frame of 17,5 kg and the highest amount of wood frame of 22,5 kg, respectively. In addition, LCA results of the 76/105 Group doors are declared separately for wooden doors and wooden doors with aluminium cladding.
