Enclosure

Sustainable and eco-friendly building materials for insulation, like straw panels and wool, are increasingly favoured for their green attributes. Straw panels offer excellent insulation properties while being renewable, contributing to energy-efficient and sustainable construction. Wool insulation, derived from sheep’s fleece, is both biodegradable and thermally efficient, making it a valuable choice for environmentally responsible building practices.

Sustainable cladding materials protect and define building exteriors while supporting lower-impact construction and long-term durability. Solutions such as fibre cement boards, strand woven bamboo, high-pressure laminates, aluminium composite panels, terracotta rainscreen systems, tropical hardwood paneling, plywood siding, and recycled wood-plastic composites can reduce embodied carbon, improve weather resistance, and contribute to healthier, more resilient building envelopes.

High-performance doors and windows are critical to building envelopes that balance daylight, ventilation and energy efficiency. Sustainable framing, glazing and hardware systems minimise thermal bridges, improve airtightness and support passive design strategies. From timber and bio-based frames to advanced low‑emissivity glazing, these assemblies help reduce operational carbon while enhancing comfort, acoustic performance and long-term durability.
