Timber

Benefits of the Timber

Timber is a versatile raw material that offers several advantages, enabling it to be used in a wide range of applications. It is a renewable resource and is grown in countries around the world. It stores the excess carbon that is removed from the atmosphere and continues to do so for the duration of its existence. It is a natural material, is non-toxic, is safe to handle, and does not produce hazardous vapors when cut or machined.

Timber has aesthetic appeal and can be stained, painted, or coated to produce a wide variety of finishes. It has good thermal insulating properties and can reduce the energy use of homes when the material is used in doors and windows. Timber construction is simpler and faster than with the use of stone or concrete, making it a great alternative.
