A PUSH FOR
ENVIRONMENTALLY
FRIENDLY PRODUCTS
» » CONSERVATORY
Outlet Ltd is actively driving
its Aluminium range of home
improvement products as
consumer interests increasingly
turn to environmentally friendly
alternatives.
Whether it be ‘Carbon
Footprint’, ‘Global Warming’,
or ‘Plastic Filled Oceans’, it’s
hard to escape the news that
the choices made by consumers
are vastly affecting the planet.
Consumers are now beginning
to make a concerted effort to
ensure that their purchases
have a limited impact on the
environment.
Conservatory Outlet’s
‘Slimframe’ and ‘Slimfold’
Aluminium ranges have been
specifically designed and
manufactured to meet not only
the demands of environmentally
conscious homeowners, but also
to follow stringent recovery and
recycling policies throughout
manufacture, supply and
installation.
The benefits of these
products aren’t just limited to
the assurance of responsibly
sourced raw materials that can
be recycled long after their life
as a door or window. Because
of their makeup, Conservatory
Outlet’s Aluminium products
also offer excellent thermal
efficiency, meaning customer
reliance on carbon-emitting
heat sources is dramatically
reduced.
Conservatory Outlet
Managing Director, Michael
Giscombe, said “Aluminium
products are fast becoming
one of the greenest materials
available in the home
improvement sector, with
windows and doors in this
material offering a great
sustainable alternative.”
