Save energy, keep warm
Ecoplus3 is our most energy
efficient and beautiful Ecoplus
range yet with triple glazing as standard on all windows
and doors. Ecoplus3 also addresses
the other environmental issues
relating to window production
through use of FSC Pure timber,
boron timber treatments and
natural finishes, helping to create
cosy and sustainable homes.

the cutting edge of sustainable
window design. Ecoplus3 aims to
meet the energy efficiency
requirements needed for 2050 and
beyond – offering a beautiful
solution for building and retrofitting
low energy homes.

Handcrafted beauty
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.
Gavin Langford, Architect
The Ecoplus3 range is
handmade by Green Building
Store’s own craftspeople in
our Yorkshire workshops with
FSC Pure timber in either
oak or pine – using the latest
timber engineering technology –
and finished with natural plant-oil
based oils.
Very well-crafted windows - definitely a thing of beauty.Ecoplus customer 2009

Bespoke quality and service
Ecoplus3 is handmade to your
own measurements and
specifications in a wide range of
sizes and shapes to suit both
traditional and contemporary
homes. We are a small enough
company to offer personal customer service, while
large enough to be able to
coordinate bigger projects.
We pride ourselves on offering
excellent customer service and
friendly and helpful support
throughout the Ecoplus3 quotation,
ordering, delivery and installation
process. We also offer a nationwide
measuring and fitting service –
offering complete peace of mind
and quality assurance.
Your helpful and friendly office staff and
fitting team have restored our faith in human
nature. Many thanks – it was a pleasure to
have them working here.
Mary Babbs, Carmarthenshire
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
and follows up on your calls, listens
to 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 recommend your
products – an excellent job for which
I thank you enormously.
Chris & Theresa Allewell, Yorkshire
From initial contact for quotations
through to arranging delivery
I received excellent service from
everybody I dealt with and especially
Fiona and Emma. Thank you for a
great product, excellent service and
being treated as though my custom
mattered. I would recommend your
company’s products and services
without reservation.

Built to last Ecoplus3 is built to meet the highest
standards of quality and durability. With
care and minimal maintenance,
Ecoplus3 is designed to last a lifetime.
Ecoplus3’s 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 treatmentPioneered by our company in
1995, the pine Ecoplus3 range
is treated with inorganic
boron-based mineral salts. As
well as being highly effective
against blue stain, rot and
mildew, borates are widely
recognised as the safest and
most environmentally benign
treatment available.
Natural timber finishesEcoplus3 is then finished with
OSMO natural plant based
finishes. OSMO finishes are
so safe they have been
deemed safe enough to use
on children’s toys (safety
standard EN 71). The finishes
rely on the natural ability of
certain plant oils to penetrate
deeply into and bond with the
timber surface, 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 touched up by applying
an extra coat, without the
need for sanding and
laborious preparation.

our solar spaces are available with
a few special options including:

*Please note: triple glazing is not available
as standard on conservatories, as it would
be an over-specification.

Pushing the boundaries
The Ecoplus range aims to
systematically address the
environmental impact of
window manufacture and has
been at the cutting edge of
sustainable window design for
over fifteen years. In 1995 it
pioneered the use of safer
boron timber treatments and,
in 2005, was the first UK
manufactured range of windows
to be made using FSC Pure
100% timber. In 2009 the
Ecoplus range became available
with triple glazing as standard.

Green building pioneers
Green Building Store has been at
the cutting edge of sustainable
design for over 15 years. Founded
in 1995 by three experienced
building professionals, Bill Butcher,
Chris Herring and Steve Slator,
the company grew out of their
frustration with the poor availability
of ecological building products.
The company now offers a wide
range of sustainable building products
and services and is committed to
providing building solutions to help
tackle climate change.
Green Building Store’s actions
and achievements have not only
delivered cutting edge sustainable
products to the market, but in so
doing have progressed the nature
of this market place itself.
