Reynaers open day highlights importance of sustainability to installers

Installers were urged to make sustainability a priority in their offering to homeowners during an open day held at Reynaers Aluminium UK.

The aluminium doors, windows and facades specialist invited a number of installers to the event at its Birmingham headquarters to learn more about product development, installer support packages and anticipated changes to building regulations.

With the implementation of the Future Homes Standard due in 2025, Reynaers Technical Director John McComb warned installers and fabricators that as more homeowners make choices with the environment in mind, a commitment to sustainability will become a necessity.

While environmental, social, and corporate governance goals have led to high sustainability standards in the commercial sector, the residential sector has largely seen change driven by regulation not customer demand.

However, John McComb warned installers it is only a matter of time before sustainability is put under a microscope in the trade and retail sector as homeowners become more invested in making choices with the environment in mind.
