- Wood comes from trees and trees absorb CO2 and give off O2 over their lifetime, which means that your timber house or construction behaves like a carbon sink.
- Wood has the lowest embodied energy of all building materials, making your timber home the sustainable choice.
- A timber home can be packed densely with your choice of insulation materials – saving energy and money on heating and cooling.
- Timber has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than any other construction material on the market and performs well under fire conditions.
- A timber house touches the earth lightly and is ideal for building near sensitive environments or hard-to-reach sites.
- A timber structure makes for a warmer, kinder, environmentally friendly house and a healthier place to call home.
