Low Carbon Steel
Architects, specifiers, and project teams face unprecedented pressure to meet aggressive embodied carbon targets without compromising on safety or building performance. Komfort Partitioning is delivering a practical solution: we have officially opened a low-carbon steel procurement route for our Defence fire-rated systems.
Available immediately on a project-by-project basis, this allows design teams to specify market-leading fire protection while drastically reducing the lifecycle carbon footprint of their interior layouts.
Quantifiable Impact: The Core Stats
Transitioning to low-carbon steel delivers immediate, measurable environmental savings across fire-rated specifications:
43.75% Average Embodied Carbon (CO2e) Reduction: Comparing standard steel profiles against our low-carbon steel for a Defence EI60 Door demonstrates an incredible carbon saving directly on the frame.
100% Renewable Energy: The entire manufacturing process operates exclusively on green energy sources.
Minimum 75% Recycled Content: Manufactured using Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) technology, the process utilises at least 75% scrap metal, far outperforming conventional steel production, which tops out at roughly 25% recycled content.
Completing the Low-Carbon Ecosystem
This low-carbon steel route represents a vital milestone within our evolving Carbon Promise. It operates alongside our broader suite of sustainable materials, allowing complete flexibility when designing complex architectural solutions:
Low-Carbon Glass: Fully integrated and currently available on a per-project basis.
Low-Carbon Aluminium: Official launch in Q3.
By tackling carbon intensity across steel, glass and aluminium, Komfort enables specifiers to lower the total environmental cost of an entire partitioning system through a single source.
