Jewson has reported strong sales across its sustainable product range in the last 12 months, with purchases of renewable heating systems up 60% compared with last year.
Sales of recycled roofing tiles rose by 146% in the 12 months to the end of February 2025, while high efficiency insulation sales increased by 12% during the same period.
Analysis of Jewson’s Building for the Future product range, previously known as the Making Better Homes collection, indicates strong demand from builders and tradespeople for more sustainable solutions.
The top five most popular sustainable products online and across Jewson’s national branch network during the last 12 months were as follows:
1. High efficiency insulation
2. Air source heat pumps
3. Sustainable timber cladding
4. Permeable paving
5. Recycled cavity liners
Looking ahead, Jewson has reported an emerging trend for timber cladding at the start of 2025, led by homeowners looking to make their outside spaces more attractive and environmentally friendly.
Solar panels and products are also rising in popularity this year, as well as products that enhance biodiversity, following the Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirement which became mandatory last year.
Matthew Handley, Category Innovation Manager at Jewson, says: “Given the growing awareness of sustainability and the impressive range of new products that are coming to market, 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.
“However, we also know that many builders and tradespeople are still overwhelmed and unsure where to begin when it comes to sustainability. As such, we have worked hard during the last 12 months to expand our range and stock levels, making it as easy as possible to find the right products, as well as educating tradespeople and hosting workshops in our branches. It is encouraging to see this investment is paying off, with such a strong performance across our Building for the Future product range during the last 12 months.”
