The glazing industry has a significant role to play in reducing the UK's carbon emissions. Buildings account for approximately 40% of UK energy consumption, and a substantial portion of that energy is lost through inefficient windows and doors.
How better glazing helps:
Replacing old single glazing with modern A-rated double glazing can save approximately 680 kg of CO2 per year for a typical semi-detached house. Upgrading from old double glazing to new argon-filled Low-E units typically saves 300-400 kg of CO2 annually.
Every sealed unit we manufacture contributes to this reduction. Our standard specification includes Low-E coated glass and argon gas fill as default — not as premium upgrades — because we believe energy efficiency should be the baseline, not an optional extra.
Manufacturing responsibility:
Our Bristol factory runs on a renewable energy tariff. Glass offcuts are recycled. Spacer bars are made from recyclable materials. We continuously review our supply chain to reduce embedded carbon in our raw materials.
We recognise that manufacturing is never zero-impact, but we're committed to minimising our footprint while helping our customers minimise theirs through better-performing glazing products.
