Sustainable Manufacture

We are committed to reducing energy consumption and environmental impact across the whole of our business.

Whilst lower than many other materials, the energy inputs in timber window and door manufacturing are still significant and as such we have made factory efficiency a fundamental goal of our business.

At the moment we:

• Sell our premium shavings for animal bedding.
• Use our other shavings to power a boiler for providing hot water for our paint drying line.
• Recycle our plastic and cardboard waste.
• Monitor energy consumption and implement improvements to reduce it (including auto shut off systems on our extraction, building management systems for lighting and heating).

We are also in the final stages of approval for BS EN 14001 Environmental Management, which will provide external auditing of our environmental policy to ensure that we are conforming with law and our own policy and continually improving our performance.
