Our sustainable road ahead: discover the new Reynaers Group sustainability report.
It is finally here! The latest version of the Reynaers Group sustainability report describes our current ecological performance and sustainable commitments for the period of 2023-2030. It paves the way for a low-carbon and durable future for our company and our community.
To help you in your sustainable building journey, Reynaers Group aims to be as transparent as possible. In 2022, we launched our first sustainability report, Reynaers Act, which focussed on circular products, sustainable buildings, carbon reduction and our people. Today, we build on our original strategy with an airtight tactical roadmap in a re-imagined design.
What is new?
Recent legislation by the EU, namely the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), prescribes official rules on how companies need to communicate their ecological performance. The new sustainability report is our first step towards CSRD compliance, with a personal Reynaers Group touch. We stay true to our company credo, “Together for better”, and set out clear and ambitious sustainable goals for the entire Group.
To safeguard our planet, we invest in circular solutions that help create your futureproof home; low-carbon materials and new technologies are key factors in this sense. We continue our efforts to reduce the direct and indirect carbon emissions of our entire value chain.
We want to engage our people by helping them grow at a healthy and safe place to work. We are proud of our empowering Reynaers Group culture that promotes entrepreneurship, innovation, and inclusion.
We take responsibility and always communicate transparently with our community. Applying a strict ethical code, we choose our suppliers carefully and only buy responsible materials. Finally, by supporting local initiatives and charity events, we can give back to society in a sincere and impactful manner.

The opening and the view
When looking at different types of doors, it’s worth noting that folding doors open up about 90% of the total frame size or aperture, whereas sliding patio doors by comparison typically open 50-65%. When the doors are closed, however, sliding doors offer the most uninterrupted views as they consist of fewer, wider door leaves with bigger panes of glass. Folding doors have more door leaves, each with a frame around them, so there will be more visible lines.
Threshold options
The type of threshold you have will also impact the overall look of the door. A flush threshold, whereby there is a continuous floor with no step between inside and outside, gives the smoothest appearance. However, flush thresholds are not suitable in all situations, as air-, wind-, water tightness tends to be lower for this option. Doors in more exposed locations may benefit from a slightly raised threshold to provide the best weather ratings. Reynaers Aluminium’s folding doors come with a choice of four different threshold heights, so the doors can be specified to meet the needs of your particular project.
