Why going local is essential to sustainable glazing

Sustainability is no longer a buzzword in construction - it’s a requirement. Whether you’re working on a new-build housing scheme or replacing windows in a period property, energy efficiency, carbon impact and responsible sourcing are now central to specification decisions.

Glazing plays a huge role in that conversation. Windows and doors are key contributors to heat loss in a building, and upgrading to high-performance glazing can cut household CO₂ emissions by up to 4 tonnes a year. But to achieve truly sustainable results, it’s not just the product performance that matters - it’s how, and where, those products are made.

By Nigel Leivers, Managing Director at Frame Fast UK
