We’re proud to have obtained an EPD for our Multipanel bathroom wall panel collections. The EPD covers environmental impacts from cradle to grave and has been independently verified. Driving around the circumference of the Earth 628 times is equivalent to the CO2 reduction of Multipanel being used instead of tiles in 2023. Read below to find out more on EPD's and what they mean for you.
Our certifications form part of a rolling programme of environmental and sustainability initiatives within the manufacturing and design processes. This includes reducing energy in transportation by sourcing materials made in the UK and recycling 100% of post-production waste into biomass fuel and other products, not only reducing waste sent to landfill but also contributing to the circular economy. We also separate recyclable waste such as paper, cans and plastic from other areas to further reduce our impact on the environment.

EPD stands for Environmental Product Declaration and is produced by conducting a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the product. This document analysis looks at the full product lifecycle from the product construction, raw materials, packaging, transportation, and installation process to how the product is disposed of. EPD's are third-party verified in accordance with ISO 14025 and ISO 14040/14044.
Read all about how EPD impacts the environmental performance of all its products:

As part of our sustainable movement, there is a focus on creating an environmentally conscious Head Office. This is reflected in the installation of Rolec electric car charging points in our car park and 190 electrical solar panels on the Head Office roof, sourcing approx. 40,000 kwh per year. In addition, we are also implementing an electric and hybrid company car policy across the sales team, helping to reduce our carbon footprint as they travel across the UK.
Our fully waterproof wall panels now come with a 30-year warranty. Our manufactured products are designed to reduce our carbon footprint, and our 30-year warranty ensures that our panels withstand the test of time. Find out more about our warranty policy here.
