Designer Contracts has worked extensively and over many years with the new homes sector where, in England, new homes and buildings will have to produce significantly less CO2 under rules intended by the government to help the country move towards net zero.
Developers now want full transparency across their supply chain with an increased focus on whole lifecycle impact and circular design principles. As well as developing a growing portfolio of products for the new homes sector, the Designer Contract’s show home design team is fully engaged with an environmental ethos that is increasingly reflected in both the styling and substance of its response to developer briefs.
Designers are increasingly using sustainable manufacturers so they can source and offer eco-friendly interior design schemes. Sourcing products such as recycled fabrics for soft furnishings and wood products that carry certifications such as the Forest Stewardship Council are now a priority. These eco-friendly practices are now embedded in the design process so that style and sustainability is incorporated into the schemes that are designed and installed.
The Design team at Designer Contracts have many years’ experience developing show homes for housebuilders. The hallmark of their Showhome & Design Service is a meticulous attention to detail. They blend creativity, expertise and exceptional service with a professional, commercially focused attitude to deliver consistently successful projects on time and on budget.
Designer Contracts is also the UK’s largest flooring contractor and their floor covering offering includes choices with enhanced environmental credentials. To mention a few, their contemporary sustainable cushioned sheet vinyl – Styletex Deluxe, their ever-popular LVT – Designer Knight Tile and their Eco-Glade and Eco-Abode domestic carpets.
Styletex Deluxe includes a choice of 22 colourways in on-trend wood, stone and tile designs with a textile backing made using 100% recycled material. It means in an average kitchen or bathroom fitted with Styletex Deluxe, there are 100 recycled plastic bottles of which 10 are saved from going into the ocean.
The company’s hugely popular Designer Knight Tile Collection has a verified Environmental Product Declaration and features up to 50% recycled content in the backing layers, the key raw material – PVC – is manufactured using sustainable salt.
The collection includes two fashionable, staggered chevron wood effect options. In addition, there are six wood effect planks designed to reflect the grain detail of natural timber and five stone effect tiles, reproduced with a lightly textured surface. Offering all the attractions of wood and stone without the practical drawbacks of natural materials, the PU coated vinyl tiles and planks are exceptionally durable.
Eco-Glade is made from 100% recycled polypropylene yarn whilst Eco-Abode’s yarn is made from 100% recycled polyester. Both available in a range of warm and cool shades, these ranges are the perfect choice throughout the home. They not only look and feel good but come with the added benefit of eco credentials.
You can be reassured that Designer Contracts will offer you sustainable solutions for any project or requirement.
