AT Precision ’ s RTR bars are made from 100 % recycled uPVC , offering both strength and increased thermal performance to windows . These bars not only contribute to improving energy efficiency , but also boast an impressive minimum lifespan of 35 years .

The introduction of these sustainable products follows AT Precision ’ s recent launch of their own in-house recycling scheme , which sees the company collect unused or unwanted uPVC materials from its customers and process them for use in manufacturing their range of RTR bars .

What are the benefits ?

One of the key advantages of AT Precision ’ s RTR bars is their compatibility with all major profile systems . This means that regardless of the specific window system being used , customers can benefit from the enhanced thermal performance and strength they provide .

This compatibility ensures that architects , builders , and manufacturers have the flexibility to incorporate sustainable fenestration solutions into their projects without compromising on design or functionality – whether it ’ s a residential , commercial , or industrial application , RTR bars offer a versatile solution that aligns with sustainability goals while seamlessly integrating into existing profile systems .

In addition , AT Precision ’ s RTR bars offer a significant advantage over their steel counterparts by making the manufacturing process easier . Unlike traditional steel reinforcement bars , which require additional fabrication and complex installation procedures , RTR bars are quick and easy to install .

This streamlined manufacturing process saves valuable time and resources for fabricators , allowing them to increase

production efficiency without compromising on quality .

The use of RTR bars also eliminates the need for welding or specialised equipment typically associated with steel reinforcements , further simplifying the manufacturing process .

Cost-effective solution

AT Precision ’ s RTR bars not only offer superior sustainability and ease of installation , but also provide a more affordable option compared to their competitors .

The company ’ s in-house recycling scheme allows them to repurpose unused or unwanted uPVC materials , reducing manufacturing costs and passing on the savings to customers .

By utilising recycled materials , AT Precision can offer RTR bars at a significantly lower price point without compromising on quality or performance . This cost-effective

solution makes sustainable fenestration accessible to a wider range of businesses and projects , ensuring that affordability does not come at the expense of environmental responsibility .

Ongoing commitment

AT Precision Sales Director Michael Hewitt comments : “ In the face of pressing environmental challenges , the fenestration sector is directing more effort towards sustainability – and at AT Precision , we are dedicated to playing our role in preserving our planet .

“ Not only does our innovative recycling scheme expand our manufacturing facility by an extra 10,000 square feet , but it also solidifies our commitment to sustainability . By repurposing uPVC materials that would otherwise go to waste , we are able to reduce our carbon footprint while providing high-quality products for customers .

“ AT Precision is renowned for delivering high-quality hardware solutions nationwide – now , with our renewed commitment to reducing our carbon footprint , we can continue to add to our product portfolio while doing our part for the planet .

“ As the demand for sustainable building materials continues to grow , we have a commitment to setting an example by prioritising both quality and environmental responsibility within the fenestration industry .”
