Wood: The Environmental Choice
Wood is the only major structural material that is Natural and Renewable.
Trees remove CO2 from the atmosphere and store it. Harvesting trees traps CO2, removing it from the atmosphere while trees left to decay release the CO2 back into the atmosphere.
100% of the wood we purchase is material that is salvaged from the construction industry. No trees are cut for our product.
