Products
The range of products that can help you improve the environmental performance of properties is widening.
It can be difficult to find the appropriate product, and the general lack of information on what is available can lead to inflated prices from contractors and suppliers. Green Street aims to provide production information to help you make your decisions and tell potential contractors/suppliers what products you want.
Below, you can search an extensive list of trade bodies, environmental suppliers and products. Each product is listed under an issue heading by feature in alphabetical order.
Alternatively the National Green Specification contains detailed information on a range of environmental products.
Information on a range of trade bodies can be found on the Rethinking Construction site, but following this link - The Housing Forum
Disclaimer
The associations, suppliers and products listed below have been selected from a range of sources. They are not exhaustive, will not include all the products on the market and do not come with any recommendation from Sustainable Homes, Hastoe or the Housing Corporation. They are here to provide users with source information only. Anyone using this information will need to make their own assessment of the usefulness of the trade body, supplier or product.
