Growing trees absorb carbon and this is then locked away in the timber during its lifetime as a product. After this it can recycled into a new product or alternatively be burned as a biofuel.

To eliminate the potential of deforestation, we procure our timber from well managed forest with good replanting schemes. They also have full traceability which is a requirement of PEFC/FSC certification. By doing this, Frame Wise Ltd are fulfilling their responsibility to the environment. |

As a natural, renewable material, timber is the building material of choice. It is non toxic and biodegradable.
|
 |
Timber is also known for its thermal properties and by taking advantage of this home builders can earn materials points which in turn can give higher Code for Sustainable Homes ratings.

Timber is widely considered the most sustainable building material. The European Commission has estimated that on average, using one cubic metre of timber instead of other materials can reduce CO2 emissions by 0.8 tonnes.

Frame Wise tries to reduce the impact of transporting the timber. Our suppliers ship the material from its country of origin to the UK in full loads to minimise the number of sailings, therefore ensuring best practice and minimal damage to the marine environment. Our vehicles also collect the timber in full loads to maximise fuel efficiency and minimise carbon emissions. |
