Timber has the natural beauty and energy efficiency which combined with the right glass to be far superior for any door or window application. Also timber being a natural product requires far less energy to produce than most building products.
You'll feel secure knowing that all of Johnston Joinery's timbers have been hand selected for that special creation.
Wood is the largest readily renewable natural resource. The Earth contains about one trillion tonnes of wood, which grows at a rate of ten billion tonnes per year. As an abundant, carbon-neutral renewable source, wood materials have been of intense interest as a source of renewable energy.
Forests and wood products can effectively reduce the process of climate change in several ways. Growing trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store the carbon so efficiently that about half the dry weight of a tree is carbon. This carbon remains locked up in the wood even when we use it for building products.
The development of coatings that protect and enhance timber joinery is by far superior with the shift in technology from the solvent based to the water based systems. These coating systems provide long life and simple maintenance.
Wood is one of the most appealing materials at a designers or joiners finger tips. Wood is versatile, renewable, attractive and cost effective. It’s also flexible enough to create anything from strikingly innovative designs to simple and economical structures.
