Technical Briefing: Circular Aluminium for Façade Retrofit

Webinar

Friday 31 July 2026
10:00 - 11:00

Free

Join TECHNAL to explore how circular aluminium can reduce embodied carbon and support more sustainable façade refurbishment.

As pressure grows to reduce embodied carbon while extending the life of existing buildings, how can aluminium façade systems support more circular approaches to refurbishment?

Join TECHNAL for a practical briefing exploring how architects, specifiers and project teams can make more informed choices when replacing façades, windows and doors within existing buildings.

Drawing on TECHNAL’s expertise as part of the Hydro group, the session will examine the full material journey—from provenance and recycled content to traceability, performance and end-of-life recovery. It will also explore how low-carbon aluminium systems can be integrated into refurbishment projects while responding to compliance requirements and the complexities of existing buildings.

Through practical guidance and industry insight, attendees will learn how to:

Assess embodied carbon and material provenance when specifying aluminium systems
Understand the role of recycling, traceability and closed-loop processes
Navigate key performance, compliance and integration considerations
Apply circular principles to the specification of replacement façades, windows and doors

Join the live discussion and put your questions directly to TECHNAL’s specification team.
