We are using NO GAS and NO ELECTRICITY, and It doesn't stop there.

We have installed many skylights in our enormous factory. To give you the best product we can, we need to be able to see our metals throughout every stage of the process. Interestingly on bright days, the natural light is a lot brighter and clearer than manufactured light, so we get a better look at our products. On sunny days, we can work the entire day with no lights on.

As you might imagine, the factory can get humid and hot. With the number of machines and functions that are operating at any one time, we need to find as many ways possible to keep our factory cool. One way that uses no power is the simple act of keeping our roofs painted. Not only does it protect the insulation, but our white roof reflects the heat, helping keep our factory temperatures at a minimum.

These projects cost a huge amount and we have implemented them all in a relatively short amount of time to keep costs at a minimum. For that reason, we installed a lot of the new systems ourselves. This required a HUGE amount of commitment and work from our team. We are so proud of our Astor Metal Finishes team; they are all incredibly hard working and always go above and beyond. Not just for the sake of the company, but for you, our valued customers. We are very grateful to them all.

We will always be on the look out to find ways to conserve energy. We are happy to work with experts to find more efficient ways of doing what we do. By reducing our outgoings and conserving huge amounts in water, gas and electricity we are ensuring we always stay ahead of the game. If you're interested in seeing our energy efficiency in practice, book a site visit with our team. We'll give you a tour of the facility and give you a little taste of how things are done.
