Eco friendly furniture is now a reality with a high end aluminium and UPVC window system, which is Unplasticized Polyvinyl Chloride Windows. “Our furniture is completely eco-friendly, because we understand the importance of saving nature and environment. So we have created doors and windows which look like wood and have wooden polish, but are made of other alternatives such as UPVC, Aluminium.” Says Shitij Khemka from the brand Zenera, a part of the Balajee Aluminium Glazing Pvt Ltd. Khemka also showed the curtain walls, aluminium composite panels and sliding openable doors and windows of his house as an example of being unique in the country.
