The construction industry is responsible for a huge percentage of the CO2 emissions released every year. From materials to transportation, building and renovating properties can take a real toll on the environment.
Luckily, there is another way. Refurbishing a building rather than renovating it consumes far fewer materials and releases much less CO2 into the atmosphere. This makes a full house refurbishment a great choice for homeowners who want to reduce their carbon footprint but still achieve impressive results.
According to the UN Environment Programme, buildings and construction are responsible for an incredible 37% of global carbon emissions. This has a huge impact on the environment and contributes to climate change and extreme weather events around the world.
One of the best ways to reduce the CO2 emissions produced by the construction industry is to reuse instead of replace. Refurbishing windows, walls and roofs instead of replacing them lessens the demand for new materials, minimises emissions produced through transportation and helps to extend the lifespan of existing structures.
When you invest in a full house refurbishment, our team will repair and refresh important elements of your home, such as your render, UPVC window frames and roof tiles. We use specialist coatings to protect your home from UV rays and water ingress and fix any maintenance issues we come across.
Giving your homes the TLC it deserves will help to conserve its structure and improve the longevity of key features. Making materials last longer is an important part of a more sustainable refurbishment and will help your home become that little bit greener.
Replacing windows and roofs, and fully renovating walls, can produce a lot of unnecessary waste. Not only is throwing away materials that are still perfectly functional a waste of money, it also increases the amount of rubbish clogging our landfills.
Refurbishments make full use of all parts of the home that are still in good condition. This significantly reduces the number of products used in the process and makes it a lot more sustainable. Economical and eco-friendly, a refurbishment will save you money and lighten your carbon footprint.
Around the world, the weather is becoming more extreme and less predictable. This makes it even more important to protect your home from the elements. Our eco-friendly house refurbishments are weather-resistant and help to improve the energy efficiency of your property. This means that, as well as being better able to withstand wind, rain and sun, your building will be cheaper to run and more efficient.
