A pioneer of innovative solutions to support its clients, it has recently launch two powerful new tools to support architects, designers, specifiers and material users: The Carbon Calculator and the Digital Showroom.
The Carbon Calculator, developed in collaboration with the University of Bangor, has been created to enable specifiers better understand the carbon impact of products they select. Both carbon footprint and biogenic carbon content shown on key documentation such as quotations, delivery notes and invoices, meaning users can fully understand the carbon impact of the products they choose.

With access to hyper-realistic, interactive 3D models of over 1,400 of the distributor’s surfaces and finishes it takes the user on an intuitive journey, to explore every surfacing possibility across a single commission, or multiple projects.
