With PVC-U window profiles, it is common to install a solid steel core in the large profile chamber for stability reasons. Salamander Window & Door Systems takes a different approach to reinforcing the frame and draws on the experience of aircraft and wind turbine construction: As an alternative, the high-tech evoCore+ foam core is used in the multi-compatible greenEvolution system.
This has advantages over the classic steel core: evoCore+ entirely consists of recycled PET bottles: Salamander thus makes an active contribution to climate protection and the environment. The material can be reintroduced into the material cycle after use, and since there are virtually no offcuts during production, waste from production can be reduced to almost nothing
75 per cent lighter

In terms of stability, evoCore+ meets the performance required by the market and offers significant advantages. Windows can be built in the same size as standard processes and with an anti-burglary rating of up to RC2.

The thermal insulation capacity of the window improves by about ten per cent. Salamander windows with evoCore+ comply with the passive house standard according to IFT guideline WA-15/2. Another argument in favour of the innovative foam core is the issue of weight saving: the dead weight of evoCore+ is approximately 75 per cent lighter compared to the steel reinforcement. The lower element weight makes installation easier. Along the entire value chain, the energy required for transport is also reduced.
