Building with sustainable products is becoming more important by the day. With climate change high on the agenda, many of us in the construction industry are thinking of ways we can build and design spaces that don’t just do good for the occupants but do good for the planet too. When it comes to interior design, there are several factors to consider, one of which is whether or not you’re incorporating sustainable products. Drywall is are construction industry stalwart, but is there a superior choice available? We say, yes.
Glass Partitions are a worthwhile choice for several reasons. Not only can glass maximize the use of space, increase productivity and boost staff well-being, it can also make for a greener build.
1. Glass and Aluminum is Recyclable
Glass and aluminum are two of the most sustainable materials around. They’re fully recyclable and can be used over and over again without a drop in quality.
2. Glass Production Creates Less Waste
The amount of waste produced during the manufacture of glass is low and most of the waste can be collected, remelted and used to produce new glass.
3. Glass Cna Reduce Energy Consumption
Glass facilitates the flow of natural light, which doesn’t just contribute to increased staff wellbeing but also saves on the amount of energy used.
4. MetroWall is a Domestic Manufacturer
We probably *could* reach out to Europe or China for our glass manufacturer, but we don’t. Our manufacturing facility is based in Congers, NY and we have built a domestic supply chain. This helps us lower our carbon footprint and offer competitive lead times.
5. MetroWall End of Life Options
Our glass wall products are inherently sustainable, and the glass and aluminum used to make these materials are easily recycled.
