Are timber windows good for the environment?


This article was published on June 17, 2019

Timber is one of the most sustainable building materials, and according to Greenpeace: “As long as timber is sourced from properly managed forests…timber windows are by far the best environmental choice” (Greenpeace Briefing: Installing New Windows 1997). ERW only uses timber from sustainable sources. The European Redwood timber used in the production of our windows is harvested from managed forests where the growing period is measured in decades. On average, two trees are planted for every one harvested – as timber usage increases, so too does replanting. Few people realise that the area of land under forestation in Europe is increasing year-on-year and there is more area of European forest now than there was one hundred years ago. We take our environmental responsibilities very seriously.
