Designing with Timber: Here Are 5 Reasons

This helps in reducing the reliance on non-renewable materials and promotes forest regeneration.

Carbon Sequestration: Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during their growth.

Using timber in construction helps sequester this carbon for the life of the building,
contributing to reduced overall carbon emissions.

Lower Embodied Energy: Timber production and processing generally require less energy compared to other building materials like steel and concrete, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint.

Innovative Products: Advanced timber products such as cross-laminated timber (CLT), glulam, and laminated veneer lumber (LVL) expand the possibilities for timber use in larger and more complex structures.

Ease of Work: Timber is relatively easy to work with, allowing for faster construction processes, easier handling, and flexibility in making on-site modifications if necessary.
