ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY CONSERVATORIES
Building with care for the Environment
Caring for the future of our planet is now a mainstream responsibility and increasingly customers are making environmentally friendly choices to preserve our planet for future generations.

Friends of the Earth have classified all known timbers on their website. Below are some that you may be offered from conservatory manufacturers and their rating will allow you to make the right choice for the future of our planet. Choose an environmentally friendly conservatory!
