The construction industry is under increasing pressure to reduce its environmental impact, and façades play a crucial role in the journey toward more sustainable buildings. From energy efficiency to responsible material sourcing, façade systems are evolving to meet the demands of a greener future.
At Benx, sustainability is at the heart of what we do. We’re committed to providing innovative, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible façade solutions that help reduce carbon footprints while delivering high-performance results. Here’s how we’re leading the way in sustainable façades.
-
Energy Efficiency with External Wall Insulation (EWI)
A well-insulated building is a more sustainable building. Our External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems significantly reduce heat loss, helping to:
✅ Lower energy consumption
✅ Reduce carbon emissions
✅ Cut heating costs for homeowners and businesses
By improving thermal performance, EWI contributes to the UK’s net-zero targets and supports the move towards more energy-efficient buildings.
-
Waste Reduction
Our façade solutions, including ventilated rainscreen cladding, are designed with longevity in mind – reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste.
♻️ Waste Reduction Initiatives – We actively seek ways to minimise waste during manufacturing and installation.
-
Low-Maintenance, Long-Life Solutions
A truly sustainable façade isn’t just about the materials – it’s also about durability and low maintenance. Our systems are designed to withstand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements. This means fewer resources are used over the building’s lifespan, leading to a lower environmental impact.
-
Meeting & Exceeding Sustainability Standards
At Benx, we stay ahead of the latest sustainability regulations and industry standards, ensuring that our façade solutions help developers meet green building certifications such as:
🏆 BREEAM (Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method)
🏆 LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
🏆 The Future Homes Standard
By aligning our products with these frameworks, we help our clients achieve more sustainable and compliant developments.
-
Supporting the Circular Economy
We’re committed to reducing waste and promoting a circular economy in construction. This means:
🔄 Designing façade solutions that can be reused or recycled
🔄 Exploring innovative ways to repurpose materials
🔄 Working with partners to reduce the environmental impact of our supply chain
Our Parkhouse project, where we repurposed Trespa offcuts into poppy coasters to raise money for the Royal British Legion, is a great example of how we’re finding new ways to use surplus materials.
