- 10 Reasons to use Wood on Projects
- Wood is naturally renewable, and wood products help reduce a building’s carbon footprint;
- Wood products, like glulam beams and timber frame, are readily available;
- Wood products are ideal for off-site manufacture, speeding construction times, reducing the need for on-site labour, and reducing snagging problems;
- Wood solutions have already been used successfully in many large projects;
- There are many specialist companies in the UK and Europe with the expertise to help with wood solutions;
- Glulam and other timber solutions represent excellent value;
- Wood engineering is ideal for temporary structures or structures that need to be moved and re-erected;
- Wood and engineered wood products have a very good strength-to-weight ratio, requiring reduced foundations, and making them particularly suitable for awkward or unstable sites;
- Wood products, like glulam, plywood and timber cladding, look (and feel) great;
- Using wood encourages Europe’s forest owners to plant more trees, increasing the carbon sink effect of Europe’s forest.
