Geplast presents IrYs, the new half-lintel chest made with 98% recycled material

Made in France and with 98% recycled material, it meets the major challenges of RE2020 (low carbon construction) while offering real performance in terms of thermal insulation, acoustics and airtightness for the end user.

Patented and subject to technical advice, IrYs is particularly suitable for two types of installation: the wooden frame and traditional masonry.

Eco-design at the heart of the IrYs project to meet RE2020, which came into force on January 1, 2022.

All the PVC profiles and injected parts, the ABS end caps and the polyamide drawers are made only with recycled material.

The IrYs safe is the subject of an Environmental and Health Declaration Sheet (individual FDES) presenting the result of an analysis from the extraction of the raw materials until their end of life. This is recorded on the INIES database, listing the different FDES for building products.

To prepare this FDES, Geplast carried out a Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) of all the components of the IrYs safe. Thanks to the use of recycled materials for the PVC profiles as well as for the accessories, the IrYs safe reduces the carbon impact of constructions incorporating this system.

According to our Environmental Information Module (EIM), the carbon cost for 1m2 of closure is 4,37 Kg CO2 eq. In comparison with data from the Ministry of the Environment, an aluminum roller shutter is 251 Kg CO2 eq.

By using 420 T of recycled per year for the manufacture of the safe, Geplast thus saves this same tonnage of virgin material. Eco-design is therefore at the heart of the IrYs project.

IrYs is ideal for XXL racks. It is the 1st safe under technical advice up to 3,50 m.

With a maximum winding of ø200 mm, it is compatible with all types of sun protection on the market: bioclimatic slats and long-span slats, standard slats, BSO and mosquito nets.

Its use therefore allows better management of solar gains, avoids overheating in buildings in summer and considerably reduces the use of air conditioning.

The assembly of this safe is quick and intuitive.

The reduction and/or combination of certain parts of the box (tulips and splints integrated into the end piece, consoles) makes it possible to limit the number of tools and therefore reduce the carbon cost of the finished product. Assemblies are mainly made by clipping thus limiting the use of motorized tools such as drills, screwdrivers (patented concept)...

The load-bearing lug system is easy to install because there is no need for steel reinforcement and after-sales service is facilitated thanks to the removable drawers. Finally, all these elements allow easy dismantling (no screwed steel reinforcement, all the parts unclip and can be recycled).
