Piper Double Glazing Achieves ISO 14001

Kent-based trade, commercial and retail window and door manufacturer and installer Piper (Double Glazing) Ltd has confirmed its commitment to reducing its impact on the environment by achieving the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System, for its Commercial, Trade and Domestic activities.

ISO 14001 specifies the actual requirements for an E.M.S. It applies to those environmental aspects for which the organization has control and over which it can be expected to have an influence, and provides a framework within which Piper's has implemented a series of environmental measures to reduce the company's impact locally and wherever the company operates. Additionally the standard helps Piper's to maintain and improve its environmental management systems.

Piper Double Glazing has been at the forefront of the development of 'A' rated windows under the Window Energy Ratings scheme, being the first in the UK to achieve both A-rated triple and double glazed windows and with an emphasis on the products being commercially viable and affordable. Now, under the standard, Piper's will further develop its commitment to Eco Labelling, continuously auditing its impact on the environment, producing life cycle assessments, performance evaluations and the environmental prospects for its products.

Piper Double Glazing's General Manager Alistair Craig says that being awarded the standard underlines the company's long held commitment to reducing its impact on the environment: ‘We have operated to very high environmental standards for some time now and the achievement of ISO 14001 is actually the result of many years of development. We are at the forefront of the development of workable energy efficient glazing products; now we can demonstrate that our factories and staff are also committed to conservation.’

Piper Double Glazing manufactures high quality windows, doors and conservatories in two factories based in Ramsgate, Kent. The factories have a combined floor space of 75,000 feet2 in which it produces up to 3,000 frames per week for trade, commercial and retail customers, using advanced manufacturing techniques.
