Timber is the link between building and nature. The variety and species of timber available from PEFC sources is enormous. There are an endless variety of colours, grain patterns and wood character to choose from. From structural softwoods such as Finnish Spruce to Western Red Cedar cladding or Black Walnut, Cherry and White Oak for glamorous interiors and high-specification flooring – each timber has unique properties that will provide a myriad of design options for architects and specifiers. The potential and scope for timber application is as wide as your imagination.
Certified timber enables architects to meet stringent public and private procurement policies worldwide so major contractors can deliver exacting architectural concepts – using hardwoods, softwoods, decking, cladding or plywood. The adoption of timber as a design and building material is the first step to creating a signature building. Timber has amazing appearance, durability and performance values. It is flexible, reliable and fast to work with. It absorbs carbon while growing, uses low energy in conversion, stores carbon in use and is a renewable crop. PEFC-certified timber offers the widest choice of sustainable timber available to architects, specifiers and designers internationally, including Western Red Cedar, European Larch, Douglas Fir, European Redwood, Beech, European Oak, American White Oak, American White Ash, Finnish Spruce and Birch with Dark Red Meranti, Mersawa, Merawan and Gerutu for windows and Balau, Red Balau, Kempas and Keruing for decking.
