Timber is a versatile material to build out of. It is not only used to crate whole structures, and even buildings, but it also used to create furniture, decking for outdoor patios, and even floorboards for various different applications. Not only are these extremely durable but they also provide an aesthetic appeal which is not matched by many other materials.

Sustainable Timber

A key issue that is of concern these days is that of sustainability. Sustainability is extremely important in today’s time, where industries and population are rapidly expanding which warrants a sensible use of materials. Materials used in an irresponsible way might present the problem of them not being available to other generations which means that they will not be able to benefit from the materials which we take for granted these days. Also, there is the impact of the associated carbon emissions for a material. These are the emissions which are generated by the use of the material, owing to the processes involved in its procurement, processing and delivery. These are often overlooked but they have a significant impact on the environment as materials with a high embodied carbon have emissions which are far greater than materials which have lower embodied carbon emissions. These emissions can lead to an acceleration of negative environmental impacts such as climate change, global warming and sea level rise. Using timber is especially good for the environment because of carbon sequestration which occurs as timber is a natural store for carbon. This is because trees in their lifetime, take out carbon dioxide from the environment. This used carbon dioxide from the environment is used to create food for the trees which is used to make the tree grow and hence the carbon is stored in the timber. Oftentimes, the timber can be easily recycled which means that the associated carbon impact would be much lower as well. The bottom line is that using timber products is often much more sustainable than using equivalent plastic or metal products due to the reasons outlined above.
