TuffX’s Low-Carbon Glass took centre stage at one of the UK’s most prestigious horticultural events, featuring in Hartley Botanic’s stunning Victorian Villa greenhouse at the 2025 Chelsea Flower Show.
Renowned for its award-winning, handmade greenhouses, Hartley Botanic selected TuffX’s Made in Britain-certified Low-Carbon Glass to reflect its ongoing commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and sustainable living. Produced using renewable electricity and 64% recycled content, this glass innovation offers a 42% lower carbon footprint than standard float glass, without compromising exceptional glazing clarity.
By making a simple specification change, Hartley Botanic has demonstrated how low-carbon glazing can significantly reduce embodied carbon in structures, whether in a private garden or a large-scale architectural build, without amending the structure or aesthetics. The collaboration demonstrates how advanced, environmentally responsible glazing can contribute to beautiful, sustainable spaces.
Paul Higgins, Commercial Director at TuffX, commented: “We were excited to collaborate with Hartley Botanic and see our Low-Carbon Glass featured in such a show-stopping installation at this year’s Chelsea Flower Show. The Victorian Villa greenhouse was a stunning example of how aesthetics and sustainability can go hand in hand.
“The trade has a real opportunity to drive low-carbon construction forward and as the first UK manufacturer to bring low-carbon glass to market, we’re proud to lead the conversation around sustainable glazing. TuffX’s Low-Carbon Glass is designed to support sustainable construction by offering outstanding performance, visual clarity and a significantly reduced carbon footprint.”
