Introduction
Norman Piette is Guernsey’s leading builders’ merchant and has been supplying advice and materials to the trade and home improvement markets since 1974. We are renowned for keeping up to date with new technologies and championing innovations in the industry and, in response to the requirement for more energy efficient construction, are now providing low carbon solutions, through our ecohomes division.Next generation of building
As governments and individuals strive to reduce carbon emissions, energy saving buildings represent the most viable future for construction. The combination of highly insulated and low impact building materials with renewable sources of energy produces homes and developments that are able to easily meet and often exceed current building regulations.Low Energy - Low Carbon Buildings
We offer two methods of sustainable construction: Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) and timber frame. Both provide high levels of insulation, offer flexible design and are renowned for their time-saving builds.Designed for life
SIPs and timber frame can be used for traditional and modern buildings and have applications in the residential, commercial and public sectors. The flexibility of design can maximise internal space without compromising on external aesthetics.Construction that doesn’t cost the earth
Our sustainable construction systems are generally quicker to build than traditional masonry projects, reaching wind and watertight and first fix stages earlier. They also benefit from very low running costs making them an attractive prospect both for the builder and the end user.
Efficient construction
Ecojoist® is a joist construction method that is designed to use less materials and to save time for building, plumbing and electrical trades. Suitable for use horizontally as joists or vertically as ‘eco rafters’ it works perfectly with SIPs and timber frame buildings, as well as with traditional masonry builds.Refresh and renew
In addition to construction solutions we offer energy saving heat recovery systems and solar heating/hot water packages all of which can reduce heating costs and carbon footprints.
