From design to hitting home the last
peg we enjoy working closely with our customers. We feel it's the only way
to achieve parity between your vision and the end Oak framed product.
... English oak
We use
only English Oak sourced from sustainably managed woodlands for our Oak timber frames. We support
British forestry by endeavouring to use homegrown English Oak wherever possible
for all our projects.
...
environment
As the Oak is used green in
its unseasoned state, very little energy is consumed in its processing,
hence very little CO2 is emitted. As a rough comparison, 5-6 times more
energy is required (per Kg) to extract, process and transport concrete
than locally sourced green Oak. The timber used in our Oak frames acts as a carbon sink, locking
up atmospheric CO2 for the duration of its use. In addition, tannins in
the heartwood of the Oak impart a natural durability that means no
additional chemical preservatives need to be used on the timber therefore
reducing the buildings toxicity. |
