Sustainable Building Trends

August 24th, 2024

Why sustainable building?

Building sustainability is essential for tackling current environmental and energy challenges. As Chenchen He, 2021 states in the ‘Visualized Literature Review on Sustainable Building Renovation,’ the growing environmental and energy crisis has made the construction industry a key focus globally, given that it accounts for a staggering 40% of all carbon emissions. Sustainable building can significantly reduce these emissions.

How we Breed New Life into Old Materials

Demolition Services

At Cawarden our specialist teams are contributing towards sustainability when they prioritise the careful deconstruction and recovery of materials that can be reused and recycled. Salvaging these important materials allows waste reduction by minimising the amount that ends up being thrown into landfills by separating and recycling important reusable materials. This lowers the carbon footprint of producing and transporting new materials, thus promoting the principles of sustainable building.

Customer Projects Created with Sustainability

Deans Spiral Bond

With these reusable materials, customers transform once historical items into something new and modern. For example, Dean at Lifelong Builders created a unique, artistic decorative spiral bond.

Reclaimed Slates for Log Stores

These reclaimed slates have been expertly utilised as an alternative to felt, adding a unique touch to our handmade log stores. You can see this in our Reclaimed Slates Used For Log Stores customer projects, where you can also explore custom design options available from J P Trees Ltd. at (07979) 270850.

Add Character with Brick slips

This is another fantastic example of how you can add character and unique design to your projects. These brick slips provide a rustic elegance and introduce a warm, inviting atmosphere. You can find more examples of brickslip projects and related content here.

Create Your Own Sustainable Projects

These projects not only preserve the rich history embedded in these materials but also add a distinct character to modern projects. By incorporating reclaimed elements, customers like Dean at Lifelong Builders can craft designs that are both sustainable and uniquely beautiful. This underscores the advantages of sustainable building.
