Products that support lower-impact building
Different projects require different approaches.
Our solutions can help you address embodied carbon, material use, energy performance and renewable energy integration.
Low carbon insulated panels
The Low Carbon by Joris Ide range has been developed to help reduce the embodied carbon of your building without compromising on technical performance, quality or design.
By choosing low-carbon steel that contains less embodied carbon and has a higher proportion of recycled materials, our Low Carbon insulated panels offer a significantly reduced carbon footprint compared with their standard equivalents.
For a 100 mm reference thickness, our verified EPD data shows:
- At least 30% lower embodied carbon for the JI Vulcasteel Low Carbon range.*
- At least 35% lower embodied carbon for the main JI PIR Low Carbon range.*
*Reductions are based on cradle-to-gate stages A1–A3 and verified EPDs. Results vary for certain products and thicknesses.
Products with EPDs
Make informed product choices using Environmental Product Declarations.
Our EPDs provide independently verified information based on Life Cycle Assessment, giving you transparent data on the environmental impact of our products across different life-cycle stages.
Joris Ide provides individual and collective EPDs for a growing range of products, including insulated panels (standard and Low Carbon), profiled steel sheets and metalstuds, giving you transparent environmental information for your project calculations and documentation. They are published through recognised European and national programme operators.
Solar-ready solutions
Prepare your building for renewable energy generation with Joris Ide roofing and solar integration solutions.
Our JI Solar systems are designed to integrate photovoltaic modules with metal roofing solutions for agricultural, industrial and commercial buildings.
Refurbishment solutions
Improving an existing building can be an important part of reducing its future energy requirements.
Joris Ide offers refurbishment solutions for roofs and façades designed to improve thermal performance and support the energy renovation of existing buildings.
