The importance of conservation Joinery

Climate change is one of the most critical challenges of our time. Both individually, and as companies operating in a commercial arena, we have a collective responsibility to assess what can be done to minimise our impact on the environment. With our market-leading sash window renovation service, W&J Bolger is committed to sustainable solutions in upgrading traditional properties. Sash window renovation makes sense for the environment because:
  • The traditional appearance of a property can be conserved
  • Existing materials are re-utilised wherever possible
  • Minimum waste is sent to landfill
  • The embodied energy involved in producing a replacement is up to 40 times that of renovation

At Bolger Sash Windows, we use Accoya® wood wherever possible and practicable. As Accoya® is guaranteed to be as durable or more durable than any tropical hardwood and is in fact a softwood from managed, sustainable sources, we are doing our bit to save the tropical rain forests.
