Established in 1881 Grant Westfield (FSC-C128180) have manufactured high quality furniture products for over 140 years. For the last 5 years Grant Westfield have been solely focused on the design and manufacture of Multipanel, the UK’s leading brand of waterproof wall panelling. The company manufactures over 8,000 panels a week at its factory in Edinburgh for distribution throughout the UK and Northern Europe via merchants, bathroom showrooms, and leading online e-tailers.
The fast, grout free installation of Multipanel wall panels makes them a modern alternative to tiles and a favourite with homeowners, bathroom installers and specifiers in the housing sector. Available in a range of surface designs, from marble to wood and granite, Multipanel is the only wall panel on the market that is Made In Britain (officially certified), FSC-certified and independently rated 4.8/5 on Feefo by homeowners.
The sustainable choice for bathroom walls
Quality and environmental responsibility are core values for Grant Westfield. Upholding these values ensures all products meet the high standards demanded by their customers and minimise the impact on the environment.
All manufactured panels are FSC-certified with full chain of custody. This ensures that the timber used in these collections originates from responsibly managed forests and the finished products comply with globally recognised ecological, social, and economic standards.
These certifications form part of a rolling programme of environmental and sustainability initiatives within the manufacturing and design processes.
This includes reducing energy in transportation by sourcing materials made in the UK and recycling 100% of post-production waste into biomass fuel and other products, not only reducing waste sent to landfill but also contributing to the circular economy. Grant Westfield also separates recyclable waste such as paper, cans and plastic from other areas to further reduce its impact on the environment.
100% recyclable panels
Grant Westfield has held FSC certification since 2015. It provides peace of mind to customers through the assurance that their purchasing decisions are helping the built environment sector to comply with their own environmental policies when specifying bathroom products.
Their high-quality engineered panels are available in a carefully curated range of designs and come with a 30 year product warranty, as well as being 100% recyclable. This recyclability makes their wall panels a sustainable alternative to traditional tiles from the beginning to the end of their lifecycle.
Sustainable products
Environmental credentials are becoming more important than ever to consumers, and sustainability is now a top deciding factor. Of course, more conventional concerns such as price and brand, influence consumer choices too. Companies looking to improve their sustainability credentials should consider becoming FSC-certified.
When asked recently why we only use FSC certified timber and high-pressure laminate in the manufacture of Multipanel, my response was simple, because we care! Using sustainable materials may cost more, but they don't cost the earth
