Testimonials
"We chose Ecoplus3 windows & doors to avoid PVC, for their thermal performance and to fit in with the old house features. They look fantastic and after our first winter frost this morning, they kept us nice and warm even though we have large floor to ceiling windows and french doors".
William Young, West Yorkshire, 2011
"We have been very pleased with Ecoplus - it is a good product, elegant and well-designed. As with most building components, you do ge what you pay for and we have found the quality, due to the handmade nature of production, to be higher than standard factory-made windows. We would definitely consider using Ecoplus for future projects".
Gavin Langford, Architect
"Your helpful and friendly office staff and fitting team have restored our faith in human nature. Many thanks - it was a pleasure to have them working here."
Mary Dabbs, Carmarthenshire
"From initial contact for quotations through to arranging delivery I received excellent service from everybody I dealt with. Thank you for a great product, excellent service and being treated as though my custom mattered. I would recommend your company's products and services without reservation".
Simon Brayford, Cheshire
"Nowadays it is hard to find a company that treats you as human and follows up on your calls, listens to your concerns and is prepared to assist when things are not simple. I totally commend Green Building Store on that point. I have and will continue to recommend your products - an excellent job for which I thank you enormously."
Chris & Theresa Allewell, Sheffield
"Very well-crafted windows - definitely a thing of beauty"
Ecoplus customer 2009
"Many thanks for our wonderful
windows, we are proud of them. Expertly fitted by skilled and
considerate craftsmen. Excellent all round. The Green Building Store are exceptional…as with all high quality sustainable wood, 'intelligent glass' and non toxic finishes it will last a life time and looks wonderful. Their attitude and reliability is of the same quality. I cannot recommend them highly enough."
Jeff Button, West Yorkshire
"Windows were great, as were your fitters. Many thanks."
P Gibbs, Ayrshire
"We are very pleased with the windows. It's noticeable- even in summer- that the temperature within the house is now the same in every room, and all those draughts have disappeared. Also thanks to the half-open locking mechanism, it doesn't feel stuffy, which has always been my fear about double-glazed units."
S Jenkinson, Suffolk
"The window frames have been installed for two years and look as good now as when new."
F Wright, Stockton on Tees
"Not only are the windows and doors of superb quality, but they have transformed the appearance of the house, indeed passers-by stop and comment on the improvement. We would also like to thank your operatives for producing an excellent result in spite of the difficulties encountered in working on a 200 year old building with nothing level or plumb! Speaking not as laymen, but as quantity surveyors in the building trade, we believe that you have given us good value for our money, and would recommend your windows to anyone."
Terry and Helen Armitage, Bradford
“The new Ecoplus System combines the high performance standards of modern windows with quality-engineered European oak resulting in a highly durable timber window.”
Graham Riley, Freeland Rees Roberts Architects, Cambridge
“We opted for double-glazed wooden window replacements from the Green Building Store. They look good, we feel warmer and the environmental impact was as minimal as we could find.”
Vicki Elcoate, Dorking
