Saving For A Rainy Day With Rewatec

Rising energy bills, combined with a tough economic climate and a Government drive to reduce carbon emissions mean that creating an energy-efficient home has never been so important. And with a whole range of eco options on the market, its easier than ever to build green and achieve a house that’s comfortable to live in, economical to run, and has a reduced impact on the environment.

The UK is now the world's sixth largest low-carbon and environmental economy, and is still growing. As the green agenda marches on, there have been some significant developments: energy-efficient buildings have become legislated through the Code for Sustainable Homes (CSH), renewable energy incentive schemes have been introduced (Feed-in Tariffs and the Renewable Heat Incentives), along with scrappage schemes, Ecotowns, and the eagerly awaited Green Deal for upgrading existing homes.

With this in mind Rewatec have invested in a permanent exhibition stand at the

National Self Build & Renovation Centre in Swindon, the only permanent self build exhibition centre in the UK.

Rewatec are exhibiting their rainwater harvesting tanks, providing education to self builders and the benefits of installing rain water harvesting tanks at the start of a build, which is far easier and more economical than installing them retrospectively.

Rewatec were delighted to take part in the fourth annual Big Green Home Show attended by over 3000 self builders at the centre in October, presenting to architects and many other eco interested parties.

John Cocker, Managing Director of Rewatec said that it was a fabulous opportunity to meet self builders, to discuss the benefits, both environmentally and financially of Rewatec Rain Harvesting Systems.

With their team of experts on the stand, they were able to diminish some of the myths and misunderstandings around rainwater harvesting tanks and with the added benefit of 'showing' a replica tank, were able to demonstrate its strength, durability and ease of fitting.
