  Our Policy
 
At Opal Homes, the environmental impact of our building developments is always considered. Certain policies have been established with the environment in mind, without compromising on quality.

• A high standard of natural building materials are used, where possible, such as traditional stonework for walls and heavy slate for roofs. The use of sustainable materials, in conjunction with increased CFC free insulation, minimizes CO2 emissions and consequently reduces gas and electricity bills for our customers. As our natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce, this measure will become even more important. Opal Homes strive to exceed the ‘U value’, as required by Building Standards.

• Where appropriate, features such as solar panels, heat pumps and grey water recycling systems will be incorporated into any Opal Homes development.
