News > Awards > IDS Awarded the Schüco UK & Ireland Low Carbon Certificate

A milestone for our sustainability journey

Irish Door Systems is proud to announce that we have been awarded the Schüco UK & Ireland Low Carbon Aluminium Certificate, a recognition of our continued commitment to reducing the environmental impact of every door, window and facade system we produce.

The certificate, part of the Schüco Carbon Control programme, confirms that our aluminium-based systems are manufactured using profiles with a significantly lower carbon footprint than conventional aluminium.

Schüco Carbon Control makes monitoring decarbonisation of the building envelope possible.

Key facts at a glance

  • Up to 46% less embodied CO₂ versus standard aluminium profiles.
  • GWP value of 3.84 kg CO₂e per kg of aluminium.
  • Independently verified by DEKRA under the Schüco Carbon Control programme.
  • Aligned with Cradle to Cradle® certified systems.
  • Available as the new standard across the full Schüco UK & Ireland range.

What this means for our clients

For architects, contractors and developers, this certificate is more than a badge. It is direct, measurable progress against embodied carbon targets on every project where IDS supplies aluminium-based door, window or facade systems.

Part of a wider commitment

The Low Carbon Aluminium Certificate is the latest step in our long-term sustainability roadmap, alongside our in-house powder coating plant, circular manufacturing practices, and our continued investment in design innovation that supports lower-energy buildings.

We will continue to work closely with Schüco UK & Ireland, and with our clients, to make low-carbon construction the standard rather than the exception.
