More people are concerned about sustainability and the environmental impact of building than ever before. And that is also true when it comes to the choice of Windows and Doors. It’s a topic we encounter increasingly, with customers keen to understand the sustainability of our range of timber Windows and Doors.
Timber Windows and Doors are an excellent choice for the environment as they are biodegradable and naturally absorb CO₂ from the atmosphere.
Recent studies have shown that when properly protected with paint or wood stain, timber Windows can last twice as long as PVCu. Reducing the number of Windows that end up in landfills is just one of the many ways timber supports a more sustainable future.
So why opt for timber Windows and Doors from a sustainability, style and performance perspective? Here are some key benefits of choosing Mumford & Wood timber Windows and doors.
Less Waste
Multi-layered timber is created by joining wood sections together to form one exceptionally strong, durable component. This method allows us to remove only the knotty or weak sections of wood, using the rest efficiently. The result is knot-free multi-layered timber that’s incredibly strong, helping reduce waste while maximising the use of raw materials.
Protective Measures
The longevity of a timber Window or Door depends heavily on how well it’s protected from moisture. At Mumford & Wood, we use environmentally friendly water-based paints and stains that contain no solvents. These finishes are spray-applied before assembly, ensuring maximum coverage and a low-maintenance, long-lasting result.
Sustainable Timber Sourcing
Our timber Windows and Doors are ideal for those looking to reduce their environmental impact. We use sustainable European Redwood timber as standard across all our products.
Why European Redwood?
- It grows straight and with minimal knots, resulting in less waste during processing.
- The timber is naturally water-resistant.
- It’s easy to cultivate and widely available, ensuring a consistent and sustainable supply.
- It has been a trusted material in construction for generations.
