Joinery inc. windows and doors

Wood can be a truly sustainable material. Care should be taken as sources of wood vary tremendously from illegal logging, destroying rain forests, right through to responsible and sustainable forestry that is ethically managed. Care must also be taken when looking at timber treatments as again many can be toxic, whilst others are benign to humans but just as effective.

Windows and doors are much less thermally efficient than walls, but they can be made more efficient by using specialist glass. The materials used to make the frames is also important. uPVC is very damaging to the environment in its production and is also very difficult to repair and recycle, there is also a growing amount of doubt about its longevity. Using hard woods and treated softwoods (from sustainable sources) is regarded as a much better option, even if there is slightly more maintenance required.
