• Timber is the best performing insulator of all common window materials used in Australia
• Studies show double-glazed timber windows deliver twice the heating and cooling savings of double-glazed aluminium windows*
• Timber is the only renewable building material currently available
• Well-maintained timber windows will outlast most aluminium frames

The positive environmental impact of timber windows and doors is light years ahead of other common window materials, such as aluminium and uPVC.

In fact, throughout its lifecycle, uPVC is the most environmentally damaging of all plastics.

Growing trees is good for the environment because as a tree grows, it absorbs and stores carbon dioxide, reducing greenhouse gas emissions. When timber from these trees is used in wood products, such as windows and doors, the carbon is stored for the life of that product.

Timber products age gracefully and naturally, without leaching chemicals or breaking down into materials that can harm the environment. When sourced appropriately, timber is renewable and sustainable.
