Sustainability

All our timber is sourced from sustainable managed forests and the use of technologically advanced manufacturing processes ensures minimal wastage. Stabilised timber engineering ensures that we can utilise a higher quantity of usable wood from each and every tree increasing the efficiency of manufacture whilst also conserving energy..

By choosing timber from managed forests we are utilising a renewable and growing resource - the vast majority of our timber is sourced from European forests that are typically growing in size at a rate of 30% per year.

Forests can be very effective carbon sinks by harvesting the timber and converting it into products which continue to store the carbon whilst replanting more replacement trees. Growing trees absorb CO2 from the atmosphere at a rate of 1kg per m3 of growth and convert it into carbohydrates through photosynthesis, releasing the oxygen we breathe.

The exclusive use of stabilised timber is environmentally more sustainable as the manufacturing process utilises more of the tree, dries uniformly and offers reduced energy consumption through reduced kiln usage.
