Did you know that uPVC and aluminium windows have a much higher environmental impact than timber windows? In fact, a study by Napier University showed that manufacturing timber frame windows consumes significantly less energy than other materials. How do they measure up? 🌳 Timber uses only 955MJ 🔋 uPVC needs more than three times as much energy ⚡ Aluminium requires over six times as much as timber! 🌍✨ Swipe through our carousel to learn more about why timber windows are the most sustainable choice! #Sustainability #GreenBuilding #EcoFriendly #TimberWindows #EnvironmentalImpact #EnergyEfficiency #SustainableLiving #AccoyaWood #GowercroftJoinery #LinkedInCarousel

One for my construction and housebuilding network. Do you use recycled aggregates in your building projects? Have you asked your contractors if they do? If not - why not? Through Building Relations PR work with Sustainabuild Scotland , I was fortunate enough to visit the Brewster Brothers recycling facility in West Lothian last week. It’s clear that many firms don’t even know whether their contractors use recycled aggregates - and many don’t ask the question. Lots of easy changes can be made to help make a big difference. Dont bury your head in the (non recycled) sand! It’s running out!! #sustainableconstruction #askthequestion #circularbuilding
Why are we harvesting virgin sand, stone and gravel when there are literally tonnes of material we can repurpose as recycled aggregates? And there is no difference in the final product. Perfect for roads, buildings, base or fill - the potential is endless. Time for the building industry to STOP and think - one small change can help make a more circular construction industry and reduce carbon emissions. Small changes make a big difference. Thank you to the team at Brewster Brothers for showing Matt and Rachel around your facilities. Inspirational! (And see you tomorrow at our next Sustainabuild Scotland Breakfast Club!) #sustainabuild #circularbuilding #netzero #decarbonisation #building #construction #recycling

As we continue to see innovation in sustainable building practices, mass timber is emerging as a game changer for all those involved from the loggers to the construction contractors, to the end users. Offering sustainability, low environmental impact, admirable structural performance, increased speed/ease of construction, and economical benefits it surely is paving the way for the future! The insurance industry is adapting to the growing use of mass timber. Education and collaboration between the construction and insurance sectors are key to addressing concerns and finding mutually beneficial solutions.🌲
Portland International Airport’s new terminal includes a 9-acre ceiling of mass timber, procured from sustainable forests. #masstimber #sustainable #renewable #wood

It's CONCRETE FACTS FRIDAY.............Let's talk "Sustainability and Concrete" Did you know? Over 140 million tons of concrete are recycled annually, according to the Construction & Demolition Recycling Association. Simply put, Concrete recycling is the use of rubble from demolished concrete structures. And did you know, recycling is cheaper and more ecological then truckin rubble to a landfill? Crushed rubble can be used for road gravel, retaining walls, landscaping gravel or raw material for new concrete. World of Concrete's Commitment to Sustainability: https://lnkd.in/gPjtAMKn There ya go. Saving the planet AND more "Concrete info" to impress your friends. 😎 Make it a Great Friday my Concrete friends. #woc2025 #recycle #ConcreteFactsFriday #concrete #concreteshow #worldofconcrete #sustainablity #informamarkets #concreteindustry #savetheplanet #worldofconcrete

Bamboo: The Future of Timber in Construction In a world where sustainability is no longer optional, bamboo stands out as a powerful, eco-friendly alternative to traditional timber. Fast-growing, renewable, and carbon-negative, bamboo offers the durability and natural beauty of hardwood with a fraction of the environmental impact. As we look toward the future of construction, it’s clear that bamboo has the potential to transform how we build—without compromising quality or style. Imagine stronger, greener structures that respect the planet. It’s time to rethink what’s possible. Bamboo truly is the future of timber. 🌍 #SustainableConstruction #Bamboo
