Build Center and sustainable products

Environmental change is an issue which affects us all. The subject is becoming increasingly important as we begin to feel the effects of climate change and the mounting pressure on natural resources. The buildings in which we live and work provide huge opportunities to reduce our environmental impact.

Major improvements can be made in the materials and methods of construction, the operation of the buildings and the disposal of products at the end of their useful life.

The Wolseley Sustainable Building strategy includes many facets including:

• A dedicated team of people across various disciplines
• A defined product selection within the overall product portfolio
• Established links with key suppliers
• A dedicated website and supporting collateral
• Advice and guidance on sustainable product use and integration and practices
• The Wolseley Sustainable Building Center

In the construction sector, the term ‘sustainable’ is often associated with alternative energy products such as solar panels, photovoltaics, heat pumps, biomass and wind turbines. However, there are many materials that can offer real, measurable sustainability improvements in all areas of construction.

Wolseley has, and will continue to define products with sustainable characteristics in all the different construction sectors, identifying them separately, but making them available through its unrivalled supply chain, to address the needs of customers.

Within Build Center they have a number of products that are approved within Wolseley’s sustainability products strategy and they include Marshalls Priora Porous Paving and GrassGuard, Finnforest Thermowood decking and cladding and Rockwool Insulation. They also have over 200 branches with the Chain of Custody Certification that can offer a choice of over 3000 stocked products with FSC or PEFC (including CSA and SFI) endorsement.

The England and Wales Cricket Trust has announced a ‘Go Green’ Club Fund, a Grant Aid Programme to support clubs participating in NatWest CricketForce 2008. Build Center has the expertise to help support your ‘Green Projects. See here for more details of this fund
