In an analysis of Jewson’s building for the future product range, permeable paving is listed as one of its five most popular sustainable products over the last year. 

Jewson has also listed high efficiency heat pumps, air source heat pumps, sustainable timber cladding and recycled cavity liners amongst its most popular products. 

Matthew Handley, category innovation manager at Jewson recognises the growing awareness of sustainability could be responsible for its growing sales. He adds:

“It is perhaps unsurprising that we have seen such a surge in interest from our customers. The Future Homes Standard and recent changes to building regulations are also driving the industry towards more sustainable solutions.”

Jewson has also noticed an emerging trend for timber cladding due to homeowners looking to make their outside spaces more attractive and environmentally friendly. It also expects solar panels to rise in popularity over the next year, alongside products enhancing biodiversity after the biodiversity net gain (BNG) requirement that became mandatory last year.
