As Scot Climate Week highlights the urgent need for action on climate change, we are proud to play a role in promoting a greener, more sustainable future through our highly insulated, low-carbon timber frame kit homes and energy-efficient replacement windows and doors.
Our commitment to eco-friendly practices impacts every aspect of our business, specifically our use of sustainably sourced timber and our approach to uPVC recycling.
Timber Frame Kit Homes: A Sustainable Choice
The drive for sustainability begins with the places we call home. Our timber frame kit homes are highly insulated, low-carbon structures designed with fuel conservation and environmental preservation in mind. Each home is individually certified by an independent structural engineer, ensuring exceptional strength and durability suitable for any location in the UK, whether on the mainland or an island.

Energy-Efficient Home Improvements
Energy efficiency has never been more crucial. Our award-winning windows and doors are designed to meet the highest standards of energy performance. Available in uPVC, engineered redwood, and hardwood, our range offers various colours and styles to suit your preferences while complementing your home’s aesthetic.
Sustainability of uPVC
Thanks to advances in recycling technology, uPVC has emerged as one of the most sustainable materials in the building industry. It is 100% recyclable and can be reused multiple times—up to 10 times or more—without compromising its structural integrity. uPVC is cost-effective, lightweight, and provides excellent insulation, resulting in reduced energy consumption for heating and cooling, thereby lowering overall carbon footprints.
To minimise landfill waste, we have partnered with VEKA Recycling and CNC Recycling to recycle as much end-of-life and offcut uPVC as possible.
