Environmentally Friendly Product Sourcing

Now a days the options on green products has grown.  These products are less expensive and cover a broader area then ever before.

AIRTIGHT SYSTEMS
Air tightness is the key feature of any energy efficient building. It reduces wasted heat and allows the buildings atmosphere to be controlled with mechanical ventilation heat recovery units creating a healthier environment.

BIOMASS BOILERS
Bio fuel Boilers for burning wood pellets and wood logs, are easy to install, simplistic in operation and maintenance. They offer a cheaper fuel resource in comparison to gas and oil and are becoming popular in newly built homes, factories, office blocks and schools, or as replacements for existing less environmentally and efficient boilers. The timber fuel is carbon neutral, as the amount of CO2 emitted is less than that consumed by the process of growing the fuel.  

ECO BUILDING MATERIALS
We supply a range of general green building products for your eco build.
Aluflash
Aluflash is a flexible, environmentally friendly alternative to lead as a weathering flashing material for buildings. It is aluminium based and available in two unique surface finishes depending on the application.
Panelvent
Panelvent is a 9.2mm thick external sheathing board, specifically developed to combine high racking strength and water resistance, whilst retaining high vapour permeability.
Paneline
Paneline is a 6.4mm thick internal sheathing board, developed to meet the requirements of EVT structures. It combines natural manufacturing processes with a relatively high resistance to vapour transmission for optimum performance in an EVT structure

HEAT PUMPS SUPPLIED AND INSTALLED
    Reduce heating bills by up to 75% with heat a heat pump instalation. They can heat your home and hotwater.
    Air Source, Ground Source, Geothermal, supplied and installed via our network of affiliated MCS accredited installers.
    Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Grant compliant.

    NATURAL INSULATION
    Select the correct product for your application in the table below and click the product at the bottom of the page for more information and to purchase online. Some applications may need more than one product for further advice please get in touch. We also recommend the Intello Plus membranes are used with these insulations to provide a breathable structure and vapour control (for more details see the Airtight System section).

    RAINWATER HARVESTING SYSTEMS. 
    Water is an increasingly scarce resource and we are using 50% of our clean water to flush toilets, wash clothes, cars and to water gardens. Rainwater harvesting simply collects rainwater and substitutes it for mains water in non-potable applications.

    SOLAR WATER HEATING & SOLAR ELECTRIC
    Introduction to Solar Hot Water (Thermal) and Solar Electric Panels
    Solar Hot Water Panels
    Solar water heating (known as solar thermal) captures heat from the sun and uses it to heat up water for use in the home. Panels on your roof absorb heat from the sun, the water in the panels heats up and this hot water is pumped through a coil in your cylinder which transfers the heat to the water in the cylinder.
    Solar Electric Panels
    Solar Electric panels (Photovolataics) systems use cells, made up of layers of semi-conducting material which convert solar radiation into electricity. When sun light shines on the panels an electric field is created and useful electrical energy flows. An inverter converts the direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC – or mains equivalent) electricity that can be used by your home appliances. Grid connected systems can sell electricity they don’t use to the grid, and import it from the grid when there is not enough sunlight. www.thegreenbuilding.co.uk


    Most of these products can help the homeowner gain incentives, grants and tax writeoffs. 

    There are all kinds of green cleaning products that not only help the environment but they have also been proven to help improve your over all health. 

    There are also Eco-friendly furnishings, post consumer waste paper products also.
