The new site adds e-commerce functionality, enabling online ordering of Ecological’s range of sustainable and energy efficient building products.

As well as providing in-depth technical specifications, datasheets and certifications, the site includes a wide range of visual installation guides, project examples and hands-on product advice aimed at making sustainable building methods more accessible. It includes an advanced recommendation engine to help users quickly identify complementary products and accessories to fit their needs, plus live chat to provide personalised advice where needed.

For industry professionals, the website also houses information on Ecological’s range of training and CPD events. While these are usually hosted in Ecological’s on-site training centres in Carlisle in the UK and Athboy in Ireland, the training offering has recently been expanded to include new virtual webinars and online events in light of the Covid-19 crisis.

Penny Randell, UK general manager and director at Ecological Building Systems, said: “At Ecological, we’ve always felt that providing education and support is just as important as selling the products themselves, if not more so. Finding not only the right products but the right accessories and tools for a particular application isn’t always easy, and even then, correct installation can make or break a project.

“Our new website is a one-stop shop to help anybody planning a sustainable building project to source the right products for the job, and access information and advice to get the best possible results. We’re delighted to be able to bring so much of our team’s collective expertise online for the first time – it’s the next best thing to having them at your desk.”

The Irish division of Ecological Building Systems is in Athboy, County Meath where the company was established in 2000, while the UK division is near Carlisle, Cumbria. Full information on their range of products and services is available on the new website at www.ecologicalbuildingsystems.com.
