Why aluminium façade EPDs matter

Aluminium façades often represent one of the largest embodied carbon contributors within a building, alongside structural steel and concrete.

This has led to increasing demand for product-specific EPDs from:

Architects
Main contractors
Façade consultants
Sustainability consultants
Whole-life carbon assessors
Public sector procurement teams

For many manufacturers, an aluminium façade EPD is increasingly becoming a prerequisite for market access and project specification.

Life Cycle Assessment Stages for Aluminium Facades (A1-A5)

Raw Materials
Determine source of raw materials, analyse supply chain. Consider finishes and design specifications.

Transport
Assess the transportation of raw and ancillary materials to the manufacturing facility.

Manufacturing
Assembly processes, energy consumption, waste processing etc.

Transportation to Site
Transportation of semi-finished products to site.

Installation
Installation scenarios, installation losses, energy consumed and installation waste.

Why aluminium façade EPDs are technically complex

Accurately modelling environmental impacts of aluminium façades requires detailed assessment of both material sourcing and manufacturing processes.

Complexity often arises from:

Global aluminium supply chain
Variable recycled content levels
Extrusion manufacturing processes
Powder coating systems
Multi-component assemblies
Transportation impacts
Installation methodologies
End-of-life recycling assumptions
Product-specific design configurations

The environmental performance of an aluminium façade system is often heavily influenced by the source of the aluminium itself. Small changes in recycled content can significantly alter embodied carbon results.

Because of this, façade EPDs frequently require a more consultancy-led approach than standardised software-only solutions can provide.

Our experience

Trusted by the UK’s leading manufacturers

Partner with Cascade

If you need an LCA or EPD but aren’t sure where to start, or don’t have time to manage the process, we can help with that.

We typically work with:

Construction product manufacturers
Materials and component suppliers
Companies responding to tenders or sustainability requirements
Teams needing support with Life Cycle Assessment
Suppliers needing EPDs for project specifications
Companies targeting schemes like BREEAM
Companies seeking to develop in-house EPD capabilities
Companies who have faced challenges with EPD software

If you’ve been asked for an EPD, or know you’ll need one soon, Cascade ensures it gets done properly.

Life Cycle Assessment Stages for Aluminium Facades (A1-A5)

Scoping & Data Planning
We define system boundaries, requirements, and exactly what data is needed.

Data Collection (Guided)
We work with you to gather the right inputs — without overwhelm.

Life Cycle Assessment Stages for Aluminium Facades (A1-A5)

LCA Modelling
Full analysis in line with EN 15804 and ISO standards.

EPD Creation
We produce your declaration, ready for verification.

Third-Party Verification
& Publication
We handle submission to recognised programme operators and train your team to understand results.

Why Cascade?

LCA & EPD projects are complex. Without a strategy and the expertise to lead a project, projects often stall due to data gathering challenges, technical complexity and internal resource demands.

Our approach is different:

You work directly with a senior consultant
You are not left on your own
No need to upskill
Detailed and on-demand reporting from a human
Practical guidance on implementation post-project
Clear timelines
Transparent pricing
Project phases explained simply

Contact us for a free Discovery Call where we can usually scope the project and determine the best EPD strategy, including product grouping, to suit your business.
