be an over-specification.

We have been very pleased with Ecoplus –
it is a good product, elegant and well-designed.
As with most building components, you do get
what you pay for and we have found the
quality, due to the handmade nature of
production, to be higher than standard
factory-made windows. We would definitely
consider using Ecoplus for future projects.

The welcoming and hospitable manner
in which I was treated won the day.
Nowadays, it is hard to find a
company that treats you as human

your concerns and is prepared to assist
when things are not simple. I totally
commend Green Building Store on
that point. I have and will continue to

Built to last
w w w. e c o p lu s. co . uk
Ecoplus3 is built to meet the highest
standards of quality and durability. With
care and minimal maintenance,
Ecoplus3 is designed to last a lifetime.
Its special design features help make it
especially long-lasting – including an
incorporated drained and ventilated rebate
which allows free drainage of water and
air circulation, ensuring the maximum
durability for the glazing unit and frame.

Timber treatment
Natural timber finishes
Our Ecoplus3 windows & doors
are protected using the OSMO
linseed oil preservation
treatment system. Linseed oil
penetrates deeply into the wood
and has been used for centuries
to protect wood because of
its excellent preservative and
water repelling properties.
The OSMO system is
formulated to combine the
properties of linseed oil with
a modern timber preservative,
giving the best possible
protection to our timber.
Ecoplus3 is then hand painted
with OSMO timber finishes
based on natural plant oils,
such as thistle and sunflower
oils. The finishes rely on the
natural ability of the plant oils
to penetrate deeply into and
bond with the timber surface
and with the linseed base coat,
giving exceptional durability.
Plant oil-based finishes make
maintenance and repainting
of Ecoplus3 incredibly easy as
there is no peeling, cracking or
blistering. Ecoplus3 can be
easily refreshed by applying an
extra coat, without the need
for sanding and laborious
preparation, making it the true
‘low maintenance’ window.

Our commitment
The Ecoplus range was
developed to systematically
address the environmental
impact of window
manufacture and has pioneered
a number of key window
innovations. Ecoplus has always
incorporated leading edge
glazing technologies, from
early promotion of low
emissivity double glazing in
1995 to adoption of high
performance triple glazing
as standard in 2009.

In 2005 Ecoplus was the first
UK manufactured range of
windows to be made using only
FSC 100% timber. Ecoplus
has been handcrafted in our
Yorkshire workshops since 1995.
Not only has this helped to
reduce transport impacts, but
we are also proud to have
been able to support jobs in our
local community.
