Clients are increasingly keen to ensure their projects are designed to be sustainable, and David Hales is particularly keen on using sustainable products and materials wherever possible, provided they meet the design criteria of a project. Some examples that are well worth looking at are:		  
• www.greenhouseeffect.co.uk for imaginative ways of using recycled glass, from façade rain screens to kitchen surfaces.

• www.pilkington.com/resources/solare905.pdf for low-emissivity (low e) glass which saves significant energy costs.

• www.gradusworld.com for the Wicanders range of cork-based materials for walls and floors.

• www.interiorlightdesign.co.uk for lighting with very low energy saving designs for lights and light sources.

• www.williambrinton.com for 100% wool carpets that negate the need for any artificial materials.

• www.ecospaints.com and www.holkhamlinseedpaints.co.uk for organic and linseed oil-based paints.
