Tackling the retrofit challenge
In the UK we have the oldest housing stock in the
developed world & an urgent need to address
energy efficiency;
•
50% of homes are over 50 years old & 20% are more
than 100 years old with solid walls
Saint-Gobain is striving to make existing
buildings safer, warmer, more energy efficient
We are a key player in many retrofit projects which offer a bespoke
solution to the problem of an ageing housing stock
