GARDEN DESIGN
GREEN IS ON TREND
IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE,
SAYS WESTBURY GARDEN ROOMS
It’s not just hazy green wall colours
that are garnering the interest of
homeowners in 2020: Westbury
Garden Rooms has identified
another green trend. There is a
noticeable increase in the number of
people who are taking a significant
interest in the carbon footprint
of their renovation and glazed
extension projects - both during the
manufacturing process and after the
build is complete.
Founder of Westbury Garden
Rooms, Jonathan Hey commented:

“The mounting environmental
crisis has come to a head this year
on a scale not previously seen, and
people are now questioning the
choices they are making in their
everyday lives - be that rejecting
the throwaway culture of cheaply-
made clothes, to reducing the
number of unnecessary flights they
are taking. Therefore, it stands to
reason that this also extends to their
homes too, with people wanting to
understand how their new orangery
or garden room might impact the
environment.”
This increased desire to invest
in a ‘green’ glazed extension has
manifested itself in several ways:
• an increase in the number of
homeowners questioning the
sustainability of timber, the
levels of transport emissions, and
manufacture locations etc. of an
extension project
• a desire by many homeowners
to go above and beyond the
minimum environmental building
regulations
