2025 is the year of all change in terms of sustainability in construction. We've spoken before about the need for collaboration between the different elements of a build in order to create homes and buildings that give and take to create a sustainable whole that is affordable to heat or cool, depending on the weather. But what about glass itself? In our latest blog post we delve into whether glass can be a viable, sustainable option when compared to other materials or whether we are doomed to live in windowless, but eco-friendly- boxes.
