If you’ve been paying attention to current affairs lately, you may have noticed that ‘going green’ isn’t just a gimmick anymore. ‘Going green’ is a growing way of life.
More and more individuals are demanding that businesses, brands and service providers operate at a higher standard in order to protect and preserve the environment and our natural resources. Having a ‘Green Attitude’ matters in our business, as we will, in one way or another, be held to account for the way we source, consume and manage the materials we use.
Whether your business is big or small, as a contractor, you also have a responsibility to operate with sustainability in mind. It is vital that you work with safe, sustainable materials in every project, as far as possible. One key phase in which to do this is in the insulation phase.
Environmental Benefits of Choosing SummitBoard for Insulation
When you opt to use SummitBoard XPS insulation boards, you are limiting your impact on the environment. SummitBoard has been designed to provide the following environmental benefits:
Energy efficiency
Good quality insulation boards installed properly by a professional contractor will ensure that a building stays energy efficient. SummitBoard is a highly effective thermal insulator that will help maintain a constant indoor temperature. As a result, a building’s occupants won’t need to lean so heavily on heaters or air conditioning. This will make a difference to electricity consumption and will help save money in the long run.
100% recyclable
SummitBoard is manufactured using 100% recyclable materials. Production yields no harmful waste and any unused offcuts are recycled on site. Its exceptionally long lifespan also means that it rarely needs replacing, and therefore reduces a building’s carbon footprint.
Reduces carbon footprint
Good insulation can go a long way to help reduce a building’s impact on the environment. Thanks to its energy efficiency and recycle status, SummitBoard contributes significantly to reducing a building’s overall carbon footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. SummitBoard is also manufactured in a factory that follows strict global warming potential protocols and has a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP).
