We’re thrilled to share that TuffX’s Low-Carbon Glass was used in the stunning Victorian Villa greenhouse on the Hartley Botanic stand at The Chelsea Flower Show last week.
Hartley Botanic’s award winning Greenhouses are custom designed and handmade in England using the highest quality materials for private clients and organisations.
By partnering with TuffX to supply Made in Britain, Low-Carbon Glass, Harley Botanic brilliantly highlighted the importance of glasshouses in promoting a sustainable lifestyle, allowing anyone to cultivate their own flowers and food.
Sustainable glass for a low-carbon future
Low-carbon glass, produced using less energy and higher recycled content, is an exciting innovation that supports better operational efficiency while reducing a property’s embodied carbon footprint. Offering high thermal performance, the improved insulation properties help reduce heat loss during winter and solar gain in summer, reducing the need for mechanical heating or cooling.
As the first manufacturer to introduce low-carbon glass to the market, TuffX developed a product containing 64% recycled content and made using renewable electricity. The result is a product with a 42% lower carbon footprint than standard float glass without compromising clarity or aesthetics.
This is a simple specification choice with significant long-term benefits for all contractors seeking practical ways to lower embodied carbon without overhauling structural design.
