Wood and Climate Change

Trees absorb CO2, keep the carbon in the wood and release oxygen. At the end of a wood product's life it can be recycled or burnt, substituting for more harmful fossil fuels. Sustainable forestry means each tree felled is replaced: forever.

Responsible Sourcing

International certification schemes like FSC or PEFC guarantee wood is sustainable. Over 60% of UK wood is certified, and almost all the rest is legal. Wood can be risk assessed for legality through due diligence systems such as our RPP.

Building with Wood

Wood has always been used to build and make things. Today, in many countries wood is the first choice building material for its aesthetics, flexibility, technical ability and environmental credentials. This section shows you what you can do with wood.

Living with Wood

Wood is a sensual material. From wooden floors to wooden furniture, or wooden kitchens to wooden walls; whether in the home or in the garden, wood meets all the needs of the modern home. For ideas on what to do with wood in your home click below.
