Scottish Fitted Bedroom specialists DM Design will now save the equivalent of 50 large skiploads of landfill each year after the installation of a biomass boiler. The installation, fitted at their head office in Cumbernauld cost £250,000 and it’s an ultra-high-spec 150kW model which is cleverly fed with wood from old kitchen and bedroom units which have been removed from customers’ homes.
DMDesign has five dedicated showrooms in Scotland – Cumbernauld, Kirkcaldy, Aberdeen and most recently, Livingston and Glasgow and all of their showrooms display their most popular bathroom, kitchen and bedroom designs.
Interestingly, the boiler also assists in removing dust ensuring the 30-strong factory team have a clean working environment. Operations director Ben Taylor is delighted. He said, “Putting in a biomass boiler was a no brainer. It saves 50 large skips-worth of waste going to landfill, heats our entire factory and lowers our heating bill by up to £10,000 a year.”
DM is one of Scotland’s leading providers of kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms and they’ve completed over 100,000 room transformations in over 30 years.They’ve worked with the Beatson Cancer Charity, Scotia Aid, The STV Appeal and Cash for Kids, as well as hosting fundraising dinners for Epilepsy Scotland and the Nepal Earthquake Appeal.
