Green Building Store is committed to the use of carefully-sourced timber as a durable and sustainable material for its windows and doors.  For specifications requiring very low maintenance, we offer two window ranges with external composite products.  The Ecoclad range has powder-coated aluminium cladding.and ENERsign has a fibreglass exterior. 

Timber

FSC certification

Image of stacks of fsc timber In 2004 the Ecoplus range pioneered the use of FSC Pure timber in UK window manufacturing and is still probably one of only a handful of UK window ranges to use FSC Pure timber. FSC is the only timber certification scheme endorsed by all major environmental NGOs such as Greenpeace, FOE and WWF. There are several levels of FSC Certification. FSC Pure means that all timber used is certified. Other grades include FSC Mixed, in which some material is FSC and some from 'controlled' (ie legally logged) sources and FSC Recycled. For a company to offer an FSC certified product, they must have been through a rigorous auditing process to ensure 'chain of custody' of the timber used from forest to product.

Green Building Store FSC Chain of Custody number: SA - COC - 1435.
