Sustainable Windows Study

At Gowercroft we are big on protecting the environment. We pride ourselves on manufacturing windows that are very efficient, come from sustainable sources and are manufactured in a way that has little impact on the environment. We commissioned a study by the University of Derby to find out exactly how much more environmentally friendly our products are compared to other types of windows.
