Timber beats uPVC. Here's why.
We've always taken this seriously. Here's what we actually do.
01FSC-approved forests
Our timber comes from forests approved by the Forest Stewardship Council, so it's replanted and managed properly.
02Our offcuts heat the workshop
Every offcut and shaving goes in the burner. Nothing goes to waste.
03Made to last
Looked after, timber doors and windows last for decades, and they can be repaired instead of replaced.
Why timber wins.
| Timber | uPVC | |
|---|---|---|
| How long it lasts | Decades, if it's looked after | Usually replaced in 20 to 30 years |
| When it's worn | Sand it, repair it, repaint it | Rip it out and start again |
| What it's made from | Natural, renewable, FSC-approved timber | Plastic, made from oil |
| Colours | Any RAL or Farrow & Ball colour | A limited range |
Nothing goes
to waste.
Every offcut and shaving goes in here and heats the workshop.
Natural, renewable and made to last.
Timber is a natural, renewable material. We buy ours from forests approved by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), so what we use is replanted and managed properly. We're also an Accoya approved manufacturer, a long-lasting modified timber that's ideal for doors and windows that have to stand up to the British weather.
Nothing goes to waste in our workshop. Every offcut and shaving goes into the burner that heats the mill. And because everything is made here in Milnrow, near Rochdale and Manchester, your joinery is made in Britain by people who know what they're doing.
Looked after, timber doors and windows last for decades. When they need a freshen up, they can be sanded, repaired and repainted rather than ripped out and replaced.
