The
Environment
At Granada Secondary Glazing we take our Environmental
Responsibilities very seriously.
It is a source of Enormous Pride to
us that in 99% of our work we are carrying out Energy Efficient Installations
whilst Preserving The Original Windows.
Our Products produce Significantly
Less CO2 during the Manufacturing Process than equivalent PVC-U Replacement Double
Glazing whilst providing Comparable Future Energy Savings.
Additionally,
we are not removing Existing Windows that usually have A Good Many Years of Life
Still In Them and then adding them to the Ever Growing Pile of Waste Products
that all too often end up in Land Fill Sites.
Our Environmental
Policies are:
1. Granada Secondary Glazing adheres to the recommendations
of and the advice given by The Timber Trade Federation, covering: Further
