The studied system boundary was cradle to gate with options, modules C1–C4 and module D (A1–A3, A4, A5, C1-C4 and D). The studied system covers the following steps of life cycle according to EN 15804: A1 Raw material supply, A2 Transport, A3 Manufacturing, A4 Transport to building, A5 Installation to building, C1 Deconstruction, C2 Transportation of end-of-life C3 Waste processing and C4 Disposal. The benefits and loads beyond the system boundary are included to stage D, which consists of product reuse, recovery and recycling:

General comment
Allocation rules used are made according to the ISO14044:2006. Allocation is avoided when possible and when necessary, allocation is made based on physicalshares and also avoiding double calculations. Allocation is required if the production process produces more than one product and the flows of materials, energy and waste cannot be separately measured for the studied product. Allocation used in generic data sources follows the requirements of the EN 15804 -standard. It should be noticed that the allocation method “allocation, cut-off by classification” has been used for Ecoinvent 3.10 data, which complies with EN 15804. Avoiding allocation could not be avoided for following inputs as the information was only measured on factory process level. • Electricity: only measured on factory level. • District heating: only measured on factory level. • Fuels: only measured on factory level. • Production waste flows: only measured on factory level. • Production water consumption: not consumed in processes • Packaging materials: only measured on factory level. • Ancillary materials: only measured on factory level. According to EN 15804, flows leaving the system at the end-of-waste boundary of the product stage (A1-A3) are allocated as co-products. According to EN 15804, process that has a very low contribution to the overall revenue may be neglected in co-product allocation. Materials sent for recycling or energy recovery from manufacturing were not allocated, as it was estimated that their contribution to the overall revenue is very marginal. No other allocations were made in this assessment. Thisstudy follows the cut-off criteria stated in RTS PCR and EN 15804 -standard. This study does not exclude any modules or processes which represent more than 1 % of the emissions of studied life cycle stage. The study does not exclude any hazardous materials or substances. Excluded processes and the criteria for exclusion are given in following table. Machines and facilities (capital goods) required for and during production are excluded, as is transportation of employees.

Technical purpose
When the system is used as balcony glazing, it isfixed to balcony railing and roof (=on railing “Riikku R2”). System can be used also as full height glazing (=”Riikku R2 TK) in terraces or balconies fastened from floor to roof. In case of risk of falling, a separate barrier is needed that shall fulfil local requirements concerning safety. The system can be fastened into concrete, steel, aluminium or timber substrates. It can be used for new construction and renovation projects. It is mainly used on balconies of apartments or other public spaces and walkways, but also on terraces. Thickness ofthe tempered glass panes are 6, 8, 10 or 12mm. The balcony glazing system consists of polyester or polyurethane powder painted or anodized horizontal aluminium frames and railings. The system has no vertical frames. The balcony and terrace glazing is used to protect balcony or terrace interior from rain, snow, wind and dirt. The glazed balcony is not warm or half warm space. It is not totally watertight or air tight. Glass units can be glided one by one laterally and turned inwards so that the balcony front is free from glazing.
