"SUSTAINABILITY
Timber is one of the most sustainable building materials available, When it is growing, huge amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere are converted into wood, this carbon dioxide remains 'locked up' in the timber until it is burnt or returns to the natural cycle. This makes it one of the few materials which actively reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Our timber is grown in the UK or mainland Europe (primarily France) and does not take as long as one might think to grow. Typically oak will be useful as a framing timber even after 30 years and will reach its prime at about 120 years. The use of timber stimulates the forestry trade which responds by planting more trees. We undertake to ensure that for every tree we use we plant ten. These oak saplings are offered to our clients as a gift or planted out on suitable land elsewhere. "
