At Shelforce, we’re not just champions of change, we’re advocates of sustainable construction methods and sustainable home improvement products too. Fully focused on minimising the impact our products have on the environment and conserving natural resources, we’re continually looking for ways to make the business as environmentally friendly as it can be.
Thoroughly committed to promoting recycling, and reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions wherever possible, our emphasis on sustainability allows us to make a worthwhile contribution to our local community and economy too. We maintain our superior sustainable business status through a wide range of environmental enhancements, including:

Closely related to sustainable development, lean manufacturing doesn’t just maximise productivity. Actively strengthening sustainable growth, minimising generated waste, and reducing the use of raw materials positively impact upon our sustainability targets across the board. For example, we’ve considerably lowered our carbon emissions by reducing our number of factory units from 3 to 2.
Dedicated to reducing our impact on the environment, we utilise quality assured trade uPVC window products via market leaders Eurocell. Boasting two of their very own recycling plants and a Nationwide collection service, we operate safely in the knowledge that our window systems are constructed from the highest standard 100% recycled uPVC components, seamlessly combined with the very best standards of workmanship.
Dedicated to reducing our impact on the environment, we utilise quality assured aluminium window and door products via local suppliers Kestrel Aluminium Systems. Committed to promoting recycling, reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions, this allows us to make a worthwhile contribution to our local community and economy too. With premium Kestrel aluminium frames and expert installation from Shelforce, minimal waste and high sustainability is guaranteed.
Leading providers Winkhaus work just as hard to preserve resources and the environment as do we. Using 100% recycled uPVC where possible, FireFrame is a specialist composite fire door frame tested to European Standards, which includes the EU’s legal framework for treating and managing waste. With a lifespan of 35 years or more, high-performance composite fire doors (like ours!) are truly built to last.
