Window on a new age
An eco-friendly house design ensures every door and window plays its part Alpwood Joinery offers a variety of options
Sustainability isn't just about solar panels on the roof and a worm farm in the back yard. A well-made, focused, green build design addresses every aspect of the home, including one of the largest surface components the doors and windows.
Alpwood Joinery Services designs, manufactures and supplies Smartwood composite windows and doors. The environmentally friendly products have the dual advantages of the warm look of timber on the inside and hard-wearing, practical aluminium on the outside.
The Smartwood range is made from timber grown in sustainable plantations, together with aluminium, which is a fully recyclable product.
Aptly named Smartwood products are a wise choice in terms of functionality as well as aesthetics. A thermal insulator between the timber and aluminium, when combined with double glazing, makes your indoor environment warmer and healthier to live in. The PVC thermal insulator also protects the timber from any moisture that may form on the aluminium.
Smartwood doors and windows are available in a range of colours and configurations. The latest eco-friendly Lockwood showhome, seen on this page, makes a feature of the Smartwood range.
