Tesco has announced it will extend its Hunstanton store by 50 per cent, using sustainable materials and technologies in the construction of the new retail areas, including wood panels.
The retail giant has received positive feedback from the public in Hunstanton about the plans to extend, largely generated thanks to the eco-friendly attributes the store will be able to boast following the extension. The cladding on the walls of the new part of the building will be made from wood panels that can be used in humid and damp conditions, so that they won’t be damaged from exposure to sea air. Sterling OSB3 is ideal for such applications being both suitable for humid conditions and structural work, plus it comes fully FSC accredited.
Louise Gosling, a spokesperson for Tesco, explained that the newly extended store will also use a range of other sustainable technologies, such as rainwater harvesting, efficient refrigeration and combined heat and power generation.
The new extension will create 75 new full-time jobs and the local people are supporting the venture and its green credentials.
“We want to expand the store to create a better shopping experience for our customers all year round,” explained Ms Gosling.
