There is a highly regarded Window Company based in London who have taken it upon themselves to educate consumers in understanding that uPVC windows have become the scourge of the window industry.

 

You may think that by using man-made plastic windows, youare actually doing your bit to save the planet and reduce your carbonfootprint.  Think again!  When the highly experienced 'Wooden Window Workshop' speaks of the dangers of uPVC it really is to your benefit to stand up and listen.

 

Having been in business since 1985 their record of customer service and top quality window installations are a massive step ahead of the rest.  With a reputation that any fortune 500 company would be proud to have it is really essential that their words on the dangers of Plastic Windows are heard.

 

 

There is a huge misconception that by using wood in any construction that you are actually in detriment of being environmentally friendly.  This is so far from the truth but sadly is one that plastic window sellers have added to their sales list over the past few years.

 

Of course, it seems to make sense that if a tree would need to be cut down in order to make a window or door then surely that has an effect on the environment, doesn't it? And there in lies the Great Misconception.  In fact you are being much more environmentally friendly by using wooden windows than you are with uPVC. 

 

Let's just discuss why the uPVC industry is doing it'spart to destroy our planet and why forward-thinking companies like the WoodenWindow Workshop are doing their best to halt the onslaught of environmentally unfriendly plastic companies.  Firstly here are a few facts you may not have known...

 

 

 

 

So why is it then, if uPVC windows are so bad for the environment do so many people still include them in their new-build or as the best choice for their window replacements?

 

 

UPVC windows are cheap to manufacture, large companies know this and so if you go for one of their plastic window installations, guaranteed to be factory-made then they are making a huge profit from you and in turn they are ignorantly destroying the environment in which we all have to live.

There is also a depending factor involved here as most well know. 

If you purchase wooden windows from a uPVC owned or funded timber window company then you are simply funding their huge advertising campaigns and it is never in their favour to state the truth about uPVC even though they would be fully aware of the dangers involved.

 

You would be putting fuel to the fire of the conspiracy that allows uPVC companies to peddle their wares, so although you think youwould be doing the right thing by going for wooden windows, it really does depend on who you get them from.

 

 

In this day and age we all know the importance of being environmentally friendly and although we may not find the time to do everythingwe can do, we can at least start with our own homes when looking to a greener horizon.

 

The Wooden Window Workshop is part of the campaign against the uPVC scourge that has infiltrated many sections of everyday living.  Look at your window right now if you are near one, in an office or home and ask yourself – does it really look better than a bespoke wooden window?

 

 

Using wood from a sustainable source is 100% Environmentally friendly as for every tree felled, three new trees are planted in it's place.  A young tree will absorb far more CO2 than a mature tree does and by replacing one mature tree with three young ones this creates a very positive effect on the environment.

 

 

Wood is a natural product that if left discarded will degrade naturally.  uPVC has to to gothrough a lengthy and costly process in order to be recycled which in turn has a negative effect on the environment due to the processes used.  UPVC windows are replaced all too easily and the old ones just thrown on a landfill site to poison the Earth for many centuries to come.  Our Grandchildren will not be thanking us for what we did to the planet in such a small period oftime.

 

English Heritage has stepped forward recently to state that cheap plastic windows are spoiling the look of England's properties at over 9,000 conservation areas where properties are classed as being of historic importance. It is unbelievable to think that centuries-old windows are being replaced with cheap factory-made plastic products that destroy the environment!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good companies like the Wooden Window Workshop are keen topoint out the benefits of restoration and repair.  Double Glazing salesmen are keen to point out the benefits of uPVC and so many an unsuspecting buyer simply opts for replacing their old windows where in reality they can be brought back to their original splendour usually cheaper than opting for a replacement.  And of course doing so mean you are being 100% environmentally friendly as nothing is being thrown away and everything is being restored to replicate the original period it dates from.

 

It is well known that wooden windows offer better insulation than their factory produced plastic counter-parts and so in the cold months of winter you will be having to spend more on energy costs to keep warm if you have plastic windows installed.

 

The Wooden Window Workshop and other smaller local firms who only deal in wood creations should be applauded for going against a huge and misconceived industry that is advocating the destruction of ourplanet. 

 

This writer's request to all who read this is –please, do not let our children suffer for what we are doing to the planet now.  Small green-minded businesses do not have the advertising power to go against the uPVC machine but by getting the word out there, they have in the least -  thrown the first swing to get the revolution started.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Today, we are very concerned about the impactof how much garbage we are making and what damage we are doing to theenvironment. The concern about filling up dumps and landfills has been a realthreat for many years. This fear developed into steps being taken to preventthis from occurring. People are now aware that they should recycle theirbottles, plastics, paper and can and that recycling equipment cuts down onwaste every day.

There has been great concern for the health and welfare of the planet and theatmosphere for a few decades. Toxic emissions, pollutants, and oil spills havebrought this concern to the attention of lawmakers, citizens and politicians.Projects to help clean up the planet have been put together in an effort tomake the average person aware of what they can do to participate.

To make it easier to recycle, people are now supplied with buckets or bins toput their cans or bottles in to be recycled later. Bins that stand several feethigh have been placed outside grocery and department stores for people to putrecyclable materials in. Each are usually labelled with a specific kind ofmaterial accepted in that bin, such as paper or bottles.

Large dumpsters are also used for recyclable materials. They are usually placedin mall parking lots or behind large stores. This gives people easy access tocontributing their materials. It is a good idea to save up a large bag of cans,bottles or whatever is being recycled and then take it to one of these largedumpsters.

However, anyone can recycle anytime. Some of the larger cities have their ownpick up schedules for taking these items from residences and disposing of themproperly. Pick-ups for these items are usually twice a month or one time perweek.

Recycling equipment cuts down on waste every day. People are wise to utilizethe machines, bins and buckets they are given to cut down on the amount ofgarbage they are sending to the dumps and landfills.
