Timber Frame and the Environment

Fact: Timber is the most environmental building Material. Why?

• Timber is a totally renewable resource; European softwood forests are growing by over
  250 million m³ every year.
   
• Waste efficient; the parts of the logs that are not used for timber are used for paper, chipboards, energy and many other applications.
   
• Once used, the timber can then be recycled or biodegraded.
   
• Trees produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide, helping to reduce global warming.
   
• So there really is no more environmentally friendly way to build!
   

• New World Timber Frame is dedicated to maintaining high awareness of the effects of its activities on the environment:
   
• Wherever possible New World Timber Frame uses renewable resources such as timber.
   
• Wherever possible timber is purchased from properly managed forests; all timber and sheet material purchased through PEFC certified Companies.
   
• New World Timber Frame aims to construct buildings that achieve high U Values to help increase energy efficiency.
   
• Constantly seeking improved methods and products to reduce any adverse impact on the environment.
